TB Stallions

[Sea Fire]

Is anyone else having issues of Mares not have a 60+HGP with good Eval and good racing stats? Trying to breed my TB Racers and I noticed after reorganizing my farm that primarily all my studs are 60hgp+ and most of my mares are 59hgp with no real improvement. There are the occasional 60hgp 61 or even a 62hgp but I find them to be few and far between. Even though they have high stats and good evals its like they can't have good evals/stats and a high hgp. Now I have been breeding for stats, eval, and now really focusing on hgp so it could be my negligence that caused this and I'm only now paying attention to it. but is it me or is it something about the mares? Also when i was checking confo, evals, and hgp of the top racer results I also noticed most of them were studs with only a few mares thrown in. Is it just that most people tend to use the studs in comp and mares less or is it really just the fact that the studs just seem to be bred better.

I know its possible Softball1234 helped me a ton with my early breeding program and she has a good stock mare/stud. My question is, is it just easier to breed a better stud and harder to breed a better mare?

thoughts and opinions?

Hi! I've also noticed this for a while, and I'm actually experimenting with the issue now. Evals, I have found, are the easiest to breed for, as you can cancel out bad scoring with the dam and sire. I have noticed that my colts always end up with better HGP, which I truly have no idea why. What I have found working for me to increase HGP is specifically breeding for a high HGP (breed your two highest), and then once you get some high HGP offspring, breed them for evals because that is the easiest to fix.

I bred a mare to the same stud three times - colt A was a 67 HGP, colt B was 66 HGP, and the filly was a 64 HGP.

If you're open to trying studs, I have about 4 studs with HGP over 70k, which would definitely be beneficial, and some others (65-68 HGP) that would be more affordable.

Yes!! Let me know if I can help with anything!! I have a 64 HGP mare that I can sell as well bc I have her colt and don't necessarily need her in my program! https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/4133694
