Basically whichever one is my favorite. There’s really no rhyme or reason to it when I choose to max because all of the foals will be the same if I also add consistency to them. I literally just scan their pictures and pick my favorite. Then I max + make consistent.

Sometimes I’ll go crazy and max 10 or so horses so I have a start to a maxed pasture. But it’s so unnecessary and just a way for me to blow through gmt tokens ^_^

usually if I am worried about a particular line I max/consistent a mare/stallion from each generation and then flush and breed together. I’ll max a mare/stallion out of those foals and so on. But again it’s probably unnecessary and more so I have the gmts so why not.

The problem here is you’re looking at pt which has nothing to do with the breeding ability for that particular horse. The pt on a foal is a representative of its parents breeding ability. But not its own. If you max a foal the pt will remain the same, unless you spend an extra gmt to make it consistent.

When you max a horse you bring its paper level and it’s showing ability to the max both parents can produce. We can’t test showing ability in horses. However, if you max one of the foals, you can test the paper ability of all the rest of that same breeding pair.

So if you max a filly…you can then test every filly out of the same breeding pair against its paper level. That way you can be 100% sure the quality you are looking for is there. If they test aga your maxed filly they are keepers. If they don’t you can sell/spay or max them. Whatever you can afford.

Papering is the most important thing when choosing good breeding stock. A higher pt but lower breeding ability will produce a lower quality/pt foal than a slightly lower pt but better paper score.

Does this make sense? Sometimes I ramble off what I think I know and it isn’t clear. ^_^
