Hi! I don't breed RIDs, but I, too, was once a broke beginner. As you've said, the problem with LB breeding with svens is that it's EXPENSIVE! If you can't/don't want to spend real-life money on the money fairy, showing and making top tier art are really the only ways to make a lot of money. My art ability ends at stick figures, so I spent almost 2 real-life years building my gelding army before I used my first LB brood and sven. By that point, the gelding army was making enough to fund a brood+sven every month or couple of months. Another thing LB breeding requires a lot of is Time. It took me another real year after that to breed my first ABLB horse. It was ANOTHER real year after that before I bred Astaldo - my ABLB stud whose breeding fees kicked my breeding program into high gear. I hope all this hasn't been too discouraging! :) If chasing the LB is something you really want, please don't give up! It is possible to build up to the top of the boards, though it does require a lot of time and dedication. |

Hi! I've been breeding RIDs for about 5 RL years, and boy did it take a long time to build up my breeding program. Like DS9, I first focused on building up a string of show geldings (pro tip - make them all PPP, train in XC first, then J, then D. They're in the money sooner doing SD, and there are enough overlapping traits that when they are leveled in say XC, they can show J until ready for XC again, and when they retire XC and you switch to J training, the overlap is there with D.) Aside from that, I focused on sending my own mares to the best studs I could, and started with just glasses. Eventually, I built my string up enough that between geldings, horse sales, and occasional art sales, I could afford the occasional Sven and eventually bred a top WWW boy that allowed my stable to really take off. I was also intense about culling - I often only had about 3 mares I cared to breed and I sold the rest. Going through your barns, my suggestion would be to focus on your own mares and items, with top boys, rather than getting broods/embryos to top girls. There have been plenty of solid WWWs that came from WEE mares x WWW studs when well matched, and you have plenty WEE & up girls. Don't forget to train your mares and track it - you could also have a big 'cull' auction and make a pretty penny to fund items and straws. :) |
