I enter the mares in shows untrained, but I make sure that they're all at moderate weight and bombproof temperament (I find that my horses do best at moderate weight and even-tempered, but it can be difficult to regulate that with all of my mares each turn, thus I leave them at bombproof). My ranch horse mares need to be able to get a 44+ in Working Ranch before I'll give them permanent residence in the broodmare barn. This score requirement steadily rises with each successful generation.

And if the mare is not able to get 44 points before, for example, 8 years? She will not be bred?

Not so much by age, but by quantity of shows. If I test run her 10-20 times and I don't see a 44 then I don't breed her. Generally, it's all sorted between the age of 4 and 6. And just to clarify, it's the score I am looking at, not her accumulated points.

It's complicated, but effective) I'm not looking at it at all. I'm choosing them by their looks, because they are responsible for that))

Hey did you still want this mare? http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/615050
If not it's okay you just mentioned before that you would like her when I sold her.

I've recently returned from a several month long break. I've updated my main post to show information on my newest project: racers.
