@HunterUnderSaddleGirl, I hope a more experienced member comes along because I might not have this exactly correct.

I do recall that the top producing stallion/mare award is given out do to the foals produced by said stallion/mare.

For stallions, the top ten(?) of his best quality foals are averaged and then measured against other stallions. He needs to have at least ten foals total and have had at least one foal during the current season to qualify.

For mares, they are not eligible until they have at least three foals. Then the top three(?) foals are compared and averaged(?) and compared to the average top three foals of another mare. Again, the mare has to have a foal during the current season to qualify.

(For example: if a stallion is in the top ten for Y44 but does not sire a foal in the year Y45, he will not be factored into Y45 top producing award.)

Again, I'm not exactly sure how many foals are necessary, if it was an average of the foals quality, or if it was the top quality foal that is compared. So hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along. I hope it give you a general idea, though. :)

Find the best quality mares you can for him, and breed lots of foals, until you get at LEAST 25 (or is it 10?) really good ones. Many of the foals will have scores that do NOT help his climb to the top. The Top Producing leaderboard is based on LIVING foals. You will need to sell the lower scoring foals back to the game, so that they aren't...well, living. Don't just put them in the auction because someone might buy them, test them, and use them as show horses when you only want the best babies to be out there. You get 1000hbs back for selling a horse back to the game, and 2500 if no one buys it at auction, but there is always the risk that someone will buy it out of the auction!

Also, could breeding him unevenly to say blue (or even gold) papered mares help that?

I think it might be 10 because my Clyde is 17th on the w2 Leader boards and he only has 16 foals on the ground.

Ok, thank you!
