1G (1st generation) normally refers to foundation horses

2nd Gen is the foals of 2 foundations,
3rd Gen are the foals of 2 2nd Gen horses.

These are actually bootstrap foals. That’s when you take a foundation mare and breed it to the highest star papered horse. This raises the paper and PT scores much more quickly than even breeding (breeding horses with the same number of generations together) but it also takes a while for them to pass any breeding inspections. Bootstrap breeders typically don’t use breeding advice on their fillies until they have a good sized herd and want to trim some down.
