Title says it, basically. I'm only 50 IV from my next goal: a new 1k barn! (I need 602 total) I've been hovering around 50 IV short for a couple weeks, even though i'm sure i could get 50 in a week, because i've been breeding and testing foals. Several of my barns are bursting at the seams with spelds just itching to get into a barn now! And with the vast majority of my breeding done, now i'm certain i can get it in a few days and i'm excited! I know a lot of long term players have bigger barns than me, but once i get this new barn, i'll have 4 1k barns, which is a lot more than i thought i would have this time last year. My long term goal/plan is to have 5 1k barns and keep just enough spelds to filll only those, so getting barn 4 is a major step forward.

Anyone else have a goal you think you'll make soon? Any plans to meet a goal before the end of the month, no matter how big or small?

I actually hit some goals this week. All 6 of my accounts have this year's basic upgrade now, and as of today all 3 that needed it got w10. If kitm comes out next month I can have a perfect foundation on my seaswell22 account, if ice 9 pops on server one soon I'll jump for joy. I'm just sitting on my hands waiting for the new season.

I merged accounts and bought another pasture so now I can separate Foundation Breeding from Gen 2 breeding. :) Hoping that prevents some loss to SBA. Gonna need another barn and pasture for Gen 3 and new spelds next month.

Aside from an economical goal, I'm trying to get a better grasp on the Appaloosa and Bay and Paint horse genes. Combing through and labeling Hom genes and looking for poss DPs and snowflakes too.

Congrats! So close! My goal is to buy only 1k barns too! I pay 700IVs now though.... right now I only have 150IVs, but it was my fault as I did GMT projects!

My goal to go along with my big barns is to convert all of my small barns to show barns only. I hope I can convert 3 210 stall barns to show barns every time I buy a big barn, but it might have to be 1-2. (I like mares too much). But I would like to fix that so my barn is more scalable in the future.

My next goal is to be able to afford to make as many colts into mares, and still have a couple other GMT tweaks without shorting my barns too much.

Ugh! Yes! I have a new stud that i'm keeping in house only, so i have all these awesome colts that i don't want to geld but don't want to sell but i don't need 20 colts from the same stud! I'm keeping a few to turn into fillies, hopefully before they get breeding age!

@Looper if you ever need help with DP, feel free to shoot me a message. I breed a lot of DP in all colors. :)

That’s rad, @Haltanny! That is super exciting. I have incremental goals for my stable set in both total points, and ratios of show ponies to breeders.

I am currently saving up for a 210 stall barn...my largest right now is the 120 stall I just managed to save enough IVs to buy! Hopefully I will eventually have 3-4 1k stall barns to keep my show ponies in...I like to keep my breeders in barns with <100 stalls because it forces me to keep culling them down, which is helping me get closer to my ratio goals! <br />
My ultimate goal re: ratios is 1:10 breeders:show ponies, to keep my daily bonus up high enough that I can keep all my breeding age mares in pasture constantly, to keep my pasture bonus up. They’re small goals currently, for a small stable!

The endless struggle for me is GMT'S versus new barns
