I like to breed variety of horses. As of now I am still growing my herd and generations. Typically I breed my mares to studs with favorable GP until they produce a filly, where then I retire the mare from breeding and focus her solely on training and competitions. Once the filly is of age, I will repeat this method. I usually keep breeding the mare until a female is born for the sake of ease of tracking the generation line. All colts born to me will grow into stallions, and once they are of breeding age, I stud them out and offer coverings at a low price of 500e until they turn 4 years old, where then they are retired from breeding and focused towards training. To the best of my ability, I try to keep record of any foals they sire outside of my farm, and will congratulate the players who produce my stallion's foal. In the event there is a line continued only by males, for example a Draft breed as they only have a limited number of coverings in their lifetime, then the line will end at my farm, and I will no longer reproduce that breed.

With the exception of special or divine horses, I will usually sell my horses at the age of 10 years. This is how I do not overpopulate my farm, but still have them long enough for training and breeding purposes. In the event a mare has not produced a filly to me by the time she is 10 years old, I will keep her beyond that age until she does so, or until she is 20 years old, upon which time if she has still not produced a female, I will retire her from breeding, and the line of that breed will end at my farm. I have a system for selling my horses as well, and it just comes down to their phenotype. Horses without a GA coat are auctioned out with a starting price of 1000e. Horses that I have given a specific GA coat to are auctioned out with a starting price of 10,000e. These are considerably higher in price since I use my own $$$ to customize them, and put a lot of work into them, and as a rule here horses with GA coats sell for a higher price. Once I get my system going, I usually advertise which horses I have for sale here on my page, as well as how much they are going for. I do accept reserved offers. If someone sees a horse they like on my farm and would like to purchase them when they come of age, it is first come first serve, just make me an offer.
