So sad when the pretty ones get snipped. I typically don't keep horses for show ponies unless they have a PT of 10.5 or above. I would stick him in the auction.

I think I'll give him a chance, can always auction later if he doesn't do well

This guy made it all better so far!

@Skylight--most of us who have been around a long time have both the premium upgrade and tons of show ponies. The premium upgrade gives us access to Auto-Show, which enters whole barnsful of horses into shows automatically twice a week. As a result, our show herds are a bit "set and forget" and require little management, so we can focus on just our breeding herds. Generally people have at least 3 show ponies for every breeding horse in their barn, so Ondowa's breeding herd is probably 2000 mares or less. She will have a system in place for breeding and evaluating mares and foals and rotating stock through pastures born of long experience! I personally found 2000 mares was too many, so I'm trying to restrict myself to 1000 or less this time around.
