It means he's up for stud and anyone can use him, provided they pay the stud fee. To change this go to Control Panel, and put his stud fee to 0 hbs.

That's because the previous owner put him up for public stud. If you don't want him up for public breeding or you want to change the price, you can do so on his control panel. Just delete the number in the box with the Set Breeding Fee button and click the button to remove him from public breeding. Or change the number and click the button to use a new price.

:D It looks like this question is well answered.

He does have white M, which is only able to be on a horse if it is gmted on or a parent has it. He would be used by that alone, but I don't know how much he should be put up.

But aren't reds fine at gen 3? If not, then I have to get rid of my entire 3gen herd! The advice I remember reading about is if you don't have enough blues to replace them at gen 3, reds are fine.

First and foremost, you should breed however you want to, regardless of what someone has told you on the forum!

My personal goal is to breed the highest possible quality horses at each generation. The only way you get to do this is to constantly re-evaluate and improve your stock. For me what this means is I'm quite strict with my stallions and expect them to paper and compare up to my standards. I'm more lenient with my mares up until the point where I have enough meeting higher standards to enforce said high standards. I plan to breed red mares at gen 3 until I have enough blue mares to justify getting rid of all the Reds. The Reds I breed up until that point will still have to meet my standards for AFPT score.

In my personal opinion, the only way you improve your herd is to breed it. If you don't have any A gen 3s yet and your gen 3 boys compare Superior to your gen 2s, then breed them. If you have A gen 3s, I personally would cull your Bs because you know they aren't really helping you improve your herd as much. But that's just how I would manage your herd if they were mine. That shouldn't stop you from breeding however you want to! It's a game, and at the end of the day the point is for you to have fun!
