I like him but I am a bit biased! ;)

I would give him some 3g and 4g girls, compare foal quality and intact ratios and go from there. He is A quality. ;)

Unless I were looking just to produce show horses, I probably wouldn't breed him at all. I'd geld him and put him in my show string. There's a whole lot of unevenness in his pedigree, not just in terms of generations, but more importantly, in terms of breeding ability.

The top line of his sire's side goes back 5 generations on the sire's side, with a couple of generations where B stallions were bred to Yellow mares.

On the dam's side, once again, there are two B stallions bred to Yellow mares, and his sire is A papered while his dam is only B.

Unless you can breed him to Blue papered mares, the line will continue to be essentially stalled, with little increase in quality as it is continued.

I wouldn't use him on foundation, and really, he would have to be a lower A boy than I'd hope he'd be to have luck with 2g. He is too good, as the other gals said, his foals will all likely get snipped by breeding advice so you would get show ponies at this point. If he was the right quality to work well with mares' qualities but still push for higher quality foals I would go for it, though there are prejudices against uneven pedigrees on this game,so you would have difficulty selling his descendants as breeding stock. I tend to look more at wether stallion would help my breeding program and quality than evenness, but it would not help you to breed this boy to foundation mares.

You don't need an upgrade to snip (or I don't think so anyway). If you're after a foundation stallion for breeding purposes then check out ID 13 for some perfect foundation quality studs :) You're more likely to get intact foals using a foundation stallion with foundation mares.

But I'd hold onto him for some show babies!

Ugh. Now members are wanting even ability in pedigrees too! You guys are driving me nuts with this stuff! It completly misses the point. :p

It takes a greater grasp on how everything works to be successful with uneven horses, I spent a lot of time experimenting and puzzling things out and have gotten to the point where I feel really comfortable with uneven horses. Many players don't bother with that and go straight to getting good crops of even foals. If you have any questions about how to evaluate and use uneven breeders let me know. Maybe all the chaos I went through can help someone. ;)

I really appreciate all of the great advice. @WildlandAcres I'll keep that in mind, I joined to have fun and if I make a fortune I make a fortune. I love the art and the colors and how relaxed the game is versus other games where you have to play daily and take care of your horses or they die. Its definitely a change for me and any advice is very welcome.
