All of my breeds have a focus of Stats, but a secondary focus is, usually, color. Recently I've begun also caring a little bit about conformation. My lines will usually be public unless there's a reason I kept them private.

On all public lines, the guidelines are the same. I will list them as private stud or brood, but they are available publicly. I will accept all breeding requests as long as the following conditions are met: The requesting horse is at least 8 years old; the requesting horse has at least 40% of the stats my horse does; there is no inbreeding on the requesting horse's first pedigree page; my horse and the requesting horse share no relatives on their first pedigree pages. My horses will be listed for stud or brood when they turn 15. This is a recent change from previously listing them as they hit 500 stats by age 10. Now it is a flat age marker. Most horses will have a max of 5 foals including my own, though some may go slightly over depending on the reason (for example, if I bought them and they'd already been bred), but no horse will ever go over 10 foals. The stud/brood price will vary based on an algorithm I created. This gives price bonuses based on certain genes, stats, and conformation. I keep my lines evenly split between male and female and will breed them a final time for the next generation all at the same time when the oldest reaches 19 or 20. Odd numbers of offspring or a gender split that doesn't match up will be supplemented with EC or purchased foals.

Money Makers

I will sometimes pick up rescue or cheap sale horses around or above 60 conformation, use them for the riding school, and then offer them for public stud and brood. They will be completely public with no requirements, with a max of 10 foals, but their fee will be higher than the limited breeding above. They are named for currencies, denominations, and money slang.
