The mare failed breeding ability not showing so she to could make a good show horse :D

To answer your question about this specific foal, you should understand that almost everything in this game has a significant amount of randomness built in. This means, for breeding ability, as an example, each parent of a foal has a range of possible contributions to the breeding and showing abilities of that foal. Where on that range the contribution comes from is determined by a random selection, so sometimes a stallion or a mare will contribute from the low end of its range, at other times the contribution may come from the middle or the top end of the range.

In the case of this foal, you bred an A papered 6th generation stallion to an unpapered Foundation mare who subsequently was neutered by Breeding Advice. This tells me that she was probably a very low C mare or could even have failed her papering test. I would guess that she is probably a low C. The sire's Average Foal PT is 10.8, so I would guess that this baby, with his 10.7 PT score, received contributions to his showing ability from near the top of both parents' possible contributions to his score.

He was neutered by Breeding Advice, which is normal, especially when the difference in quality between the stallion and the mare is so great. A papers are the next to the highest possible. Breeding a high generation stallion to a foundation mares is a viable strategy for producing good show horses, and in this case it worked out. Given luck in the classes this baby is entered in as he ages and trains, he should make a decent show horse.

Based on his PT score, he has the ability to be showing in Level 7 World, in the higher reaches of the Hunt and Jump showing world. It will take him several game years of training to hit his stride, but I would recommend giving him a name and hanging on to him for the probability that he will eventually be adding significantly to your showing bonus.
