I breed TBs and have been for quite a while now. I have definitely improved over the years and my stock had gotten better but I now feel like IÂ’ve hit a brick wall and itÂ’s not really going anywhere. While I am breeding more EEEs, they just arenÂ’t strong. ThereÂ’s the occasional one where RF has been extra nice and I do have a fairly strong EEE but thatÂ’s pretty rare. What can I do to improve my breeding? Should I save up and invest in some now breeding stock or some good broods? IÂ’m really not sure on where to go.
Thanks in advance. |

I would start by heavily culling your mares. Which ever mares who are not producing their rating or better 50% of the time need to be let go. You can be a bit more generous with the percentage, but you're aiming to only have mares who are capable of producing.
What mares you have left after the cull, i would be sending to ABLB studs every year. It's very difficult to get top horses if you are not using the top studs in the game. It's not impossible, by any means. But you're just that much more likely to get a stronger horse by using a stronger stud.
Also, if you can afford to, once a game year i would invest in a good LB brood. The mares matter just as much as the studs. :)

https://horseeden.com/horse.php?id=20219097 If this girl continues to train this way, focus on her. Use the money you make from culling your other mares, match her first with the best stud you can afford and eventually use items if she is producing consistent EEEs. Quality over quantity. I would stick with 1-3 matches with only your strongest mares for a while, until you can afford to use the best boys & items with more than 3 matches.

Thank you Hemlock! I have just now been through my barns and had a fair bit of a clean out. I will definitely focus on that filly. Fingers crossed she doesnt flop. Thank you again! |
