I have tried searching and can't find it. What is the criteria for the Horse of the Year award in breeding?

I think they have to be high rated, high in bravery and high on the breeding LBs.

I often missed the bravery testing in my show stock, when aiming for the HoTY showing awards.

Thank you so much!

They are at the bottom of the HOY LB if you ever need to find them again.

Well that is too obvious of a place to look. 🤣 HAHAHAHA I looked everywhere but there.

The HOTY Overall says

• Must have at least 1 foal in the Current Year.

Does the foal have to be living the whole current year or can it be a free-ranged at some time before the end of that horse year?
