Comparison test your studs : sons to their sires, siblings to each other and keep the AGA(As good as) and superior babies/studs. Breed alike paper levels (Red-B Yellow-C etc) or you can breed off a little like A-Red Yellow-B stuff like that. Along with even breeding and pasture breeding. Don't just breed for color get good lines going then add color that way. Showing is great tho and a good way to get money.

While Wolfgang's advice is sound, it's not helpful unless you have an upgraded account.

For someone just starting out, I think these things are the most helpful:

Absolutely take advantage of the Available to Adopt program. You want your horses to be a good mix between lots of points and not too old. Horses in this game start to age out after their 17th game year. A game year is a calendar month, so horses that are 17 and up right now might age out of the game during the rollover tomorrow night. Horses only age out during rollover when the month changes.

Train everything you own. Show everything you own twice a week. Gaining show points is the way to build your show bonus, which is the main way to make money. It's a slow process, but once you get rolling, it makes a huge difference. The general rule of thumb is you want at least 3 established show ponies for every breeding horse you have.

Don't forget to sign up for your Wecome Pack at the top of the Forum.

Look through the Breeders Clubs in the Community Tab, and learn how to use the Horse Search to look for horses based on color and pattern. This is the best way to start to figure out what you might want to breed for yourself.

Build your mare and stallion herd from the Foundation Rescue, owner 13. All the horses in the Rescue will be Perfect Foundation quality, meaning they will have 100% breeding and showing ability and be perfectly consistent.


Good luck and have fun! And don't hesitate to ask questions. The Community here is awesome about answering and helping out where we can!

Thank you so much. I have a free account and loaded myself with a ton of horses. I will use your tips. How do you suggest I sort thru the horses I already have? I wanna make sure I don't have a ton of horses that aren't worth while. I already try not to keep anything with showing ability under 9.0 unless they are a really unique color
