Hello all :) I have been a member of HEE for a long time. On my current account, I feel like I am stuck. I have tons of EEE mares (I know, this is considered a good problem to have) but they aren't really strong. It seems I can breed higher ratings but the horses resulting from them don't tend to train well. I've gotten to the point where my barns are just full of horses and I don't have enough room to breed all of my horses every season. I usually have to set free the foals from the previous year that are under EEE. Due to the market nowadays, I know these mares would not really bring in much for breeding or even being sold. I know they can be great show horses so I keep them anyways. I am finding it hard to save enough ebs to get another 100 stall barn before the next breeding season comes around. If I use the money for a new barn, I will not have any money left to breed my few really nice mares to any worthy studs as some of them are almost as much as a 50-100 stall barn 😄 I suppose it really is about patience and maybe just sacrificing breeding for a few seasons to really build up ebs...but I am wondering what other people have done in case I haven't thought of something. Thanks!

Thank you! That is a good plan. I think my patience just gets the best of me even though I know that is the right answer. I will do that😊

I just kind of chuck my EEEs to whatever is around, I mainly save for breeding to others' mares and stallions +items. Usually I have 1-2 "big" matches that i put my all into, then save a bit for my personal WW+ mares or brood them out to afford nicer items :) That also allows me to only add like 5 new horses every year due to constant EEE culling. (currently holding off on FRing a few as I hit the 100 horse cap for ebs)
