I have a question for everyone. In my examples I have using generalizations as I am curious about.

I have noticed allot of mares for sale with all skills at 1. Many of these mares are between 10 and 18 years of age.

My question in a nutshell is, does training and showing not add to mares producing better foals in the long run?

Example:
If I have a filly that is PPP and 1 years old and I train her and show her every year to age 6: then I have another filly that is also PPP, 1 years old and not trained or shown every year to the age of 6. Wouldn't the first filly that had been trained produce better foals?

My second question follows this same logic. If I have a filly and a colt that are rated SSS, showed and trained them until they are 10; would they produce better foals?

I'm new to this game but that kind of how things work in other games and I can't imagine all the EEE horses in this game are decendants from ones pulled from the wild. Someone had to have bred them as well, through hard work.

Sorry for the rambling and thank you for the time if you read all the way through this.

No, training has no bearing on a horse's ability to produce. A horse's ability to produce is set in stone from the second its born. The only thing training does in terms of breeding is that it allows you to guess at what a horse's strengths and weaknesses are.

Yeah, training doesn't have an effect on production. Training just makes it easier for you to match stallions with mares, to try and get better offspring.

Thank you, a tad disappointing but good to know. Thank you both.
