To keep my generations separate, I label them with their generation in their name. For instance my stable is Double T so my foundies are FTT Name- F for foundation. 2TT for second Gen, 3TT, for third etc. Once I get to about the 5th or 6th gen I just switch to TT and dont worry about breeding even gens then. Its easier for me to keep up with them this way and when I am searching for one generation I just enter 2T or 3T in horses name and they all come up.

I will also say that I have bred uneven pedigrees at times to help boost a line. Like breedingFoundations to 2nd gens or lower PT 3rd gens to Higher PT 2nd gens. I've also bred Foundations to higher gen studs to help boost a 2nd gen line and have had good success with these...I will say the majority of those bred like that are snipped but make amazing show horses. All my uneven gens are usually labeled the lower generation in their name, except the foundies bred to a different gen....those are always labeled 2g. I hope this helps answer your question and wasnt too confusing!

I also have started putting the generation number in front of the horses name. If the horse is uneven, then I also put a 'U' after the number.
