Hello and good morning/day/night,

I've been looking through verious things on culling and I was wondering how much all of this shifts with the addition of of the World Class rating and the current market. For instance, on this guide thingy, https://hyrimcanyon.weebly.com/culling.html, Hyrim talks about PPP foals as qualifying towards keeping a mare, but at this point in time an EEE mare that throws all PPPs is not particularly impressive.

To anyone reading this, have a nice day!

I was wondering the EXACT same thing. Would we be able to have someone create an updated version for culling? I've just been looking at mares with PPP, EE combos and EEE rated foals in their breeding report.

To help answer this for both of you:

This thread is OLD. Back when PEP mares sold for 65k...

In simple terms, PEP mares (unless very colorful, PEE+ consistent producing or with E+ bravery) should be sold or free ranged. They are not valuable anymore.

PEE mares are fine to start out but they should be producing at least PEP+ consistently. The market for PEE mares without lots of color is severely decreasing. But they are a good starting point.

EEE+ mares are the "in" right now. These are what you want. Breed them to nice studs to helpl keep good rating flowing. Then again, if they have bad training or non LB pedigrees plus bad production. Sell or free range. It's all about keeping the strong ladies!

Now, PPP mares. Don't even bother with them unless they are ultracolorful or have nice bravery. They can't be depended upon when breeding.

Can we please get this updated too WWW horses?

Honestly, I don´t think that I ´d find the time to update each and every ranking in that old post, sorry.

Maybe you can just read the E as a WC, the P as an E, the S as a P and so on?

It is not just about how the exact rating is named, but kind of aa general guideline (even tough it is from 8 years ago ;)
