Fantastic well I’ll update my stables to say that on their name :)

Even bred foundies are Gen 1 (I usually don't label them in their names because they are foundies and I know it). From there it is G2 for their progeny and so on and so forth. My "uneven" herd I personally mark their generation like Chilli does as to me uneven is uneven so they just get a UE in front of their names in my herd but they are also only intended for me to do in house breeding to try make good show ponies.

I use my even bred numbering like others—foundations are gen 1, their offspring are gen 2 and so on. My uneven bred horses are mostly bootstraps, and I’m not concerned about their generation at all, just their paper level, so don’t bother to even look at it. Thankfully they go in their own barn and pastures, so I don’t have to worry about their naming structure.

As for PacoCider, she’s papered Red. For me, that means she would go in my gen 2 herd somewhere to be bred to a low A stallion. You could theoretically breed her (or something similar and intact) to anything from a high C (perfect foundation or TNP quality) up to a low A (A papered even gen 2) and have a decent chance of intact foals, especially with pasture bonus. I know some people strongly advocate breeding similar papers to each other and would tell you to breed her to any B stallion. Your other option with any uneven mares you might have would be to use them to bootstrap, so breed them to the very highest Stars you can get a hold of (lots are up for stud relatively cheaply in the Bootstrap Chat room) and get some nice show ponies that way.

Yeh for me if they are un-even then they are no generation really, just un-even. I have a few bootstrap horses and they'd just go in there to produce show horses if I didn't spay them straight off
