@DarkPhoenix oh I know I have a problem :-))
I did have almost 500 something mares till I culled almost all of them
Now I only use about half for actually breeding the rest I use for Embryo implants.
Pasture bonus? Is that the days in Pasture breeding thing?

So I need to keep my foals, but at what point is it just taking space? That's my main thing because I have some foals that are 4.0 show vs 0.5 show
And if no points before roll over and last in all shows they have entered I usealy get rid of them
I guess my problem is I look at it to closely being harsh

Oh that's gonna be Alllot of self control =))

Here's my advice specific to your situation *right now*

KEEP EVERYTHING. Absolutely everything. You have a 1000 stall barn; fill it. You should only cull if you are running out of space (or if you need the cash from auctioning horses over age 9). I'm about to hit 250,000 a day, and my altered foals are a HUGE part of that. And I actually have an embarrassing amount of second gen colts from Era 5 who are now over 10; imagine if I had sorted and altered all of them! Definitely watch the auction for pointed horses, and for young horses with a high PT (like 12+). Alter as much as possible. I only keep surrogate mares who are leveled off, because they won't earn a training bonus from altering. I'd say that you should alter any embryo mares who are not already leveled off, and then fill up with ⁹ year old foundation rescue mares. On the first of next month, sell those mares and get a new batch of 9 year olds.

When you finally have the 1000 show barn full, my advice will be different. But for now, numbers are your friend!!

I'm adding you to my chat for a little gift ;)

I cull at 6 if anyone isn’t over 150 and I need space. This is a stupid idea because I get nothing for it— and I don’t know where those horses will level off. But the FF leads to some odd logic. I cull at 450 at 10. Anything under 450 goes into auction. At 10 horses earn their lifetime payout in the auction.

I wait until the end of the month and sort my show horses by points earned that month. I don’t look at where they are leveled off, but if someone is only making 10hbs a month, they are gone. Sometimes sentiment overrides this. I see you’ve got a 19 year old with low points— if it makes your heart happy, keep it.

You should have triple the showing stock than breeding stock, at least. I have 6140 altered horses and 1025 breeders. Fill that 1000+ barn. I have so many of Khithsan’s horses it isn’t even funny— search the auction and buy high PT horses.

(You’ll also find that some players dump high quality futurie foals in the auction, as you can see here. There are foals from Wicked Tundra, Titans Regards, Doppleganger, Wicked 10, and Summers Crown Royal all in the auction right now, for 2500, unlocked. Good times.)

Your embryo mares should come from the foundation rescue not from stock you have sitting around. Mares (stallions, too) don’t train well, so they are taking up space. I recommend searching for 10 year olds, from user 13, sorted by maximum points. Buy them, implant them, auction them. I just did this and I made about 6K per mare (the FR is currently at 350 points.) Otherwise, create, don’t test, and toss in auction. Here is my foundation rescue search:

If you have inbred embryo mares at the end of the month (which I don’t have because I make and toss them) put them in your pasture and make foals, and then sell those unwanted foals to the auction for 2500 each.

More questions?

The 1000 stall barn was transformative for me. (Thanks Confluence Ranch!) I hope you have the same experience.

@Walywoohoo thank you! She went straight in the barn.
So now it's a waiting game and to remember to be harsh on my breeders from now on just because it's pretty and I spent so much in lab doesn't mean I should keep it unless it's worth the extra boost

@SummerMonarch
Oh I am I just wish I would have kept all the 1000+ points creates vs selling those, and that's exactly it the quick money allowed me to get all the tack packs, all the extra barns for my fantasy bootstrapping, and a few gmt projects. But I definitely didn't fully comprehend it would stop at the cap, I figured if I sold enough low pointed horses those points would come back to me in create a horse I was very confused on how that all worked
