Hi all!

I posted this in the "Breeding Discussion" forum but had no responses, so I figured I would post here, since I need help!

I am in my 3rd breeding year, and I have a freshie for year 155! My biggest question is how to go about testing him! I've read Hyrim's old guide about it, and he's only EEE rated so I don't expect him to make the LB's, but I also want to give him a good year anyways.

Do I just buy a bunch of PPP+ rated, proven mares? Do I put him up for public stud with a min rating requirement? Both?

Any and all tips are much appreciated! Thanks :)

personally i just search for a bunch of PEP+ mares for breeding, usually with patterns in case ratings fall through. I say use him yourself to give him the best odds:)

I usually test my "not expected to be on a LB" freshmen with 10 public mares that might fit him and that are up on rollover for an affordable amount.

Depending on the training I use PEP oder EEP combo mares that are trained and have had some decent rated foals before.

After these 10 foals you can see where they end on the Freshmen board and then decide if you instant geld or keep as a stud - and for how much you can offer them to public.
