Stallion Papers
Paper levels include:
*Star: This is the highest a stallion can paper. You normally will find this, albeit rarely, in boosted 3rd generation lines - most often in 4th and beyond.
Showable Only: This means just that, should only ever be used for showing. Consider it a definite “fail” as far as breeding stock is concerned.
C: This represents basic/foundation level breeding ability. Perfect quality foundation stallions are C-papered.
B: Exceptional foundations and many 2nd generation stallions are B-papered.
A: Only exceptional foundations that have been given 5% breeding boosts can expect to see A papers. Otherwise, these are sometimes bred in the 2nd generation, and often in the 3rd.

Mare Papers
Paper levels include:
Blue: Only exceptional foundations that have been given 5% breeding boosts can expect to see Blue papers. Otherwise, these are sometimes bred in the 2nd generation, and often in the 3rd.
Failed The mare equivalent of a stallion's "Showable Only" result. This mare has no place breeding. Ever.
Yellow: This represents basic/foundation level breeding ability.
Red: Exceptional foundations and many 2nd generation mares are Red-papered
*Gold: This is the highest a mare can paper. You normally will find this, albeit rarely, in boosted 3rd generation lines - most often in 4th and beyond.

So show/failed is lowest and should be spayed
C/Yellow is foundation level
B/Red is for second generation or foundation ExPro/boosted lines.
A/Blue is for third generation or second generation ExPro
Star/Gold is for fourth generation or third Generation ExPro.

Some do allow third Gen red or fourth Gen blue, etc just depends on how strict their lines are

In order to paper your own horses, you have to have at least a basic upgrade. Then the Breeding Inspection test joins the rest of the testing buttons at the bottom of your barn page and on each horse's control panel tab.
