Before I put out a lot of EBS to purchase a horse I would like some advise.
She is young up 1 across in week 5 then she stays the same until week 8 where she is up 3. So by week 8 she has a training of 332222. LB bloodlines ( top 10). Rating is EEE. What are my chances of her being a good addition to my barn? How does one tell if they are very good, good or so so. |

What breed is she? What is her price? What has her dam produced? Has she leveled an disciplines?
Its nearly impossible to tell if a horse is going to flop or not, but there are some good indicators you can look for.
It'd be easiest if you just posted a link.
If she is ISH or SH, i dont think id pay more than 150k |

I offered 150 and was declined. 200K or walk away I have seen them higher then this. |

Yes, usually if theyre training is stellar they would sell higher. Or if they had a better pedigree.
All of the dams foals so far have been flops, and shes not even on her breed LB.
Personally, id walk away at that price, but that's a personal opinion and ultimately the decision is up to you. |

I saw that but so many people use Wild horses and do well. The Dam has a good sire (Night Shade) This would be my first EEE so I am nervous about putting that much out there. But the foals sire is a very good horse. This is why I ask for advise. Now I guess I need to think about it more. Hard to find a EEE for sale within my price. |

You need to define what you consider doing well.
Is it just producing EE+ combos?
To me, doing well is a horse that is on its breed leaderboard or ABLB. It is a horse that will continually produce EEE foals. And it will be a horse that people will pay decent money to breed to.
If your only goal is to produce more 'meh' EE+ horses than she might be a good purchase for your program.
If your goal is to be competitive on the leaderboards, she will probably not be a good purchase.
Also remember, that once you purchase said horse, you will still have to afford to breed it to a good stud every year. (not very cheap)
If you are looking to be competitive on the LBs, then i would suggest saving up some EBS and purchasing a brood to a very good mare. I'd send her to a very high ABLB stud. That would be the cheapest option to potentially get a very good horse at a competitive price. |

I just can not find them. I have tried looking for a LB mare or stallion and if they are anywhere near that the price is WAY up there. I prefer a PON but a SH I can breed to PON . The closest I have found was a EEP combo. They are around 100K for them. Sometime more depending on the bloodline.

You can breed any breed of horse to a PON and get a PON. There are a TON of good broods out there in the forums. |

I would not worry about buying a mare I would get a LB brood and straw and way better chance of getting a baby without having to empty your pockets on a crappy mare . :) |
