I find you gotta breed for what you like. Selling Horses doesn’t earn you much income in this game. I earn money by making pasture foals and auctioning them (approx 2000 per foal). And my
Show bonus. I breed for what I like and once I get that wonderful rare colored stud I find people will want to buy straws. But even then that’s only maybe 1k a straw so a 500 hb profit each straw for a ton of work to breed it. RS earn about 25 to 50k right now. But it depends on the color. I find we’re all kinda looking - if something is pretty sometimes I gotta have it ;;)

That show pony herd is your most valuable asset.

Extra colts, especially colts who Paper C, are rarely salable. All of us have way more colts than we need, so to sell a colt it needs to be something very special. With closed genes, that’s even more the case because only a few people are able to buy the intact colts, so they have to be really exceptional both in paper level and in color/pattern to garner any interest.

As the others have said, selling horses or stud/brood fees are not the way you make money in this game. The method outlined by HiddenCreek and ParadisePark is an excellent way for a newer player to make cash quickly.

If you invest the 100k you earn in barn space and show ponies to fill it, you will build a decent show pony herd relatively quickly. Try not to pay more than the minimum auction price for show ponies—consider investing in high PT foals instead of high point older horses. You’re more likely to get them for the minimum investment. Use the horse search to search sale and auction horses by all time points and/or PT regularly to find bargains.

This game is all about the slow burn, not the flash. It takes months to build up a decent show herd and longer to build a high quality breeding program.
