Selling your pointed creates is definitely a good start. Go for perfect foundations and exceptionals from the herd helpers - take a look and see what others sell for. Make yearlings/2 year olds for selling or 4 yr olds that you can breed and then sell them and then auction their offspring (unless you like them lots!).
Bootstrapping is a great way to breed to start and get lots of pretty ponies with good PTs and hence will make good show ponies in the long term and help you decide what you want to breed for.

Is there like a pricing guide on those pointed foundations?

Thanks for the pricing suggestions

I’ve been selling pointed creates since November, and I’ve never had luck selling creates with under 200 points, even if they have good PT’s, and are under 2. If the horse is around 3-4yrs the only way they’d sell well was if the points were over 270. I was using form posts too so people would see them. Personally I was not able to consistently get my money back from testing so I didn’t do it often.

The prices that I used were
100-200 create price/Auction
200-299 $2,600-2,900 depending on horse
300-349 $3,000
350-399 $3,500
400-500 $4,500
500 $8,000
Up from there I usually kept the horses or auctioned them. Horses with 900+ points can go for a minimum of $35,000 (I once had an auction with a Dark Chocolate mare who’s selling price was 500,000, but that was a very sought after HH at the time.)
I also only did BA testing

Also anything with DP, and Nd1 sell for a much higher price. I usually do $25,000 fo DP. 8,500 for Nd1. I do all testing on these ones.

I created 4yr old mares bred them before BA testing them. I would BA everything then Auction the foals. Within 6 months I’ve bought a Basic Upgrade, 120 and 60 stall barns and over 13mil in GMTs, I also just did a account merge and still have enough left for a 200 stall barn, without wiping my hjbs bank account out. I haven’t spent $1 of real cash on accomplishing any of it.
