What does it mean when you create a horse, and he has leveled off with training already? He is a bad shower, but can he ever breed a decent foal? Thanks!

Yep. It's no guarantee that he will be a good breeder, because breeding ability scores are unknown, but he COULD be.

If you PT test him he will probably have a really low score.

Breeding ability and showing ability/performance testing have very little correlation in an individual horse. He might be a great dad. But personally, I want my boys to do double duty as show ponies and studs...so unless he has amazing colors, I would replace him with a boy from the Foundation Rescue (search Owner 13). Every horse in the foundation rescue is perfect foundation quality, so they are a great resource for solid, plainly colored, high quality foundation breeding stock.

Got it. Thank you so much for your help!! I appreciate it so much!!! :)

Your best test of his breeding ability, short of actually using him as a sire, would be to use the Stallion Papering test. If he will be an okay breeding foundation, he will paper C. If not, he will paper "Showable Only."
