I know Foundations rang anywhere from .02 to 9.9 which is the highest they can be. Also want to note PT scores has nothing to do with breeding ability it is strictly showing ability so don't under estimate a low PT score mare. You can breed her to a PF stallion and get foals who PT test 10 or better.

Gen 2 PT seems to top out at 10.5 in my experience. The PT of the dam does not impact the PT of the foals she produces--I have 0.whatever dams throwing foals with 10.something PTs and 9.9 mares throwing foals with 9.sometning PTs. However, the theory is that you want your PTs to go up every generation as an indication that the quality of your herd is increasing. I also cull gen 2 foals that PT below 9.5 and I now have a big enough gen 2 herd that I am thinking about increasing that a bit. Certainly if you are seeing upper gen horses with very low PTs, you should be questioning the value of their parents as breeders. There have been some good threads about culling foals in the past that outline some players PT and papering cut offs for their foals that may be helpful to you. If you search for "culling" on the forum you should run across them.
