Ammit recently made strict mare advice stricter, so that is likely why fewer mares get through intact than in previous seasons. As hard as it is when a lovely filly or colt gets snipped by the testing, just remember that it would have been a mediocre breeder and that show horses make the money to support your stable.

I figure if SMA gets them, then I really don't want to breed them anyway. Even if they are from Perfect Foundations. The Perfect Foundations are better for breeding, than the foals they produce. I like that I don't have to take the time to go through all of them to spay after 3 foals. Looking at AFPT. I tended to be too easy when SMA didn't get them, before Ammit made SMA stricter. I have so many horses that I am still going through older mares before the SMA get stricter. When I don't have to do that, it just makes more time for me to show them, and get my show bonus points. I noticed that now I am having the same AFPT issues, with stallions staying intact. I have to go through looking at AFPT's and gelding later. Plus, gelding all their offspring.

My theory is I want my gen 2s to be better than my best foundations and my gen 3s to be better than my best gen 2s.....best way to do that is start with the best foundations you can get your hands on and then cull ruthlessly!

Good question. But I think you have to have the premium upgrade
