[delete] Tips to breed Squeaky clean lines

Greetings players, 

Now when I started playing back in 2018, I was breeding Quarter Horses then like I am breeding them now, and this time I found a way to help improve my herd for squeaky clean lines. Many Quarter Horse Breeders have horses that are visibly clean on the first page, but if you go through the entire line they are inbred. Some clubs do an extensive check for inbred bloodlines and will not allow you to register your horses with the club. Starting with Foundation horses is a good start, but I have recently discovered that getting foundations as foals is a good way to get every ounce of stat points you can get, foundation foals cost 2000EVD per foal. 

With foundation foals, you want to not only look at the confo, but you will also need to look at the foals' stats. Those Stats are strength, speed, agility, intelligence, and endurance. Look for the highest stats on the foal to determine the discipline you wish that foal to perform best in.
For Example: 
A foal with a strength of 28 and an endurance of 20 would be a horse you want for driving.

I use DRE, DRI, END, SJ, FR, and WR to identify what foals are performing in what discipline. Dressage, Driving, Endurance, Show Jumping, Flat Racing, and Western. From 0 to 3 years, foals are given Hay cubes (Fillies) and Peppermints (Colts). When the horse reaches showing age, I choose the opposite discipline of the discipline the foal is good for, then pay 10k to convert the foal and assign the appropriate treat to the now adult stallion or mare with the lowest stat for that discipline. Training the foals is relatively easy and adds bonuses to the stats of that horse upon selection of discipline that carries over during conversion, it also converts any stats given by sugar/hay cubes, and peppermints as well. The conversion gives them 100+ stats for the stats associated with the discipline each. This means a 3-year-old bought from the Equestrian Center as a foal, converted as a horse can be higher stats than the standard 3-year-old bought from the Equestrian Center. Now you don't have to use the cubes and mints method as I do, you can do a week of one treat for one stat and the other treat for the other stat in the second week and cut the conversion out of the equation.

Have a show schedule for your disciplines, this helps with a lot of headaches, for my herds Dressage is on Monday, Driving is on Tuesday, Endurance is on Wednesday, Show Jumping is on Thursday, Friday is Racing, and Saturday is Western Shows. This helps me out a lot! Having divisions dedicated to these disciplines also helps. Training horses also gives them stats, train horses based on their discipline, use the cheapest centers you can find, and when your horse hits 10/10 in training level them up to gain additional points for their discipline stats. Enter your disciplined horses of the day into comps while doing private lessons to earn extra money, because let's face it. Shows and training can be expensive. 

When your horses reach the ages between 17 and 20 years of age, you can start breeding horses to improve your lines that have both Stats and Confo. The higher the stats a Stallion and mare have the higher the chance of a highly skilled 2nd-gen foal is born. I typically post my studs for Stud around 17 years, after getting 1 colt from them, fillies are used for the other disciplines, and the mare used to breed for the heir of a disciplined herd is posted for public brood then private brood at 20 years.

I put all of my 21-year-old horses in their own division so they can all age to 22 together to make room for new foals and lines to promote clean squeaky clean lines.
