Hey y'all! I am trying to prepare for RO/make room for geldings and am scrolling through my horses thinking things need to change. That being said, I'm new and have no idea what's best to FR or sell or keep. Anyone have time and patience to help me? I am thinking a lot of the 2 yos need to be FR I am just waiting until they age up to get the credits and ebs. If you do have the time to look through my lovelies please be honest, brutally even, I am having a hoarder moment LOL. You can reply here or PM me whichever is easier.

What is a good point to say I should FR them in the future? Like anything lower than PPP? Or should PPP be FR too?

Thanks in advance for whatever help I get with this!!

Personally, I'd get rid of anything that's not a P+ stallion or gelding. Those are your money makers, you can also train the mares but they should be put on cycle suppressent to train better. I train and show my Premium or Elite geldings in a single discipline because I find it easier, the only mares I have are part of my breeding stock, and they're all EEW+

It is hard to give advise, as it is your stable and you should set your own goals according to your way of gameplay. Any way you want to play is ok - but you would have to make up your mind and decide which way you want to go.

A lot of users head for the top 10 leaderboads in any way - but this would need decent funds and a solid income in first place to afford top leaderboard broods.

So for a newer stable I would highly recommend to build up a show horse army to get the funds to buy more barns and some top mares or broods and breed them to top studs.

Looking at your barns, your 2yo geldings have about 5 training sessions by now. This is the time you can set them to a single discipline training even without rating them. Just look at the traits they went up first and then decide in which disciplines they would do better. And then start showing them!

When they level up, give them 5-6 training sessions and then start showing them again. Most of your horses are S/P combos, so they all should be decent show horses and bring in some ebs.

I would recommend to show all your horses, no matter which gender they have. Mares can earn as much in their lifetime as studs or geldings, if they get shown - and especially a newer stable should have as much earnings as possible.

I have some blog posts on my stable page that might help with tips on starting a stable. The most helpful tip is: be patient.

It takes time to get a decent show string and some luck to build up a good lot of mares.

And stay away from own studs, as a lot of really good studs are up for breeding for low ebs or for free.

Additionally: You have a lot of riders with only 1 assigned horse. They are the most expensive asset in your weekly expenses.

Try to assign up to 10 horses to each rider - if you have e.g. 10 level 4 and 10 level 5 horses to two riders, they would probably make you way more money as the riders cost per week.

Thank you both!! That is alot of helpful information!
