to be honest i dont have any at the moment, this is because i dont have many horses to chose from due to Fell ponies having such a low gene pool, (im working on that at the moment) but until I can breed more lines with more choice im not picky as long as they try their best

I breed TBS so for me since they're so popular..

If they have 39 or better stats and OUTSTANDING bloodlines, I'll give them until 14.

If stats or pedigree are ehhh I'll give them until 12.

If stats are eh but bloodline is great then they also get until 14

My cut off for my TBs is 14, my foundie line is 16. For my rares I don't really have a cut off.

I don't have one, but that's because I'm working with Egyptians where there aren't really many of them left, and I'm still trying to push them above the 60"s :') hahaha

Currently I have no standards as I'm trying to build my barn back up.
I'm more strict with my paints, as I just have more of them, all with excellent lines.

My QH's I'm more lenient with, as I'm trying to increase my # of them.

I'm super excited to see how my foals from the mares you sold me turn out!! They're almost jumping age.

For now, I keep mostly only 40's, 39 if their lines are superb.
I haven't been back long enough to see what my horses are able to jump, but for now I'm keeping 77" and up, and then I'll slowly refine that into the 80's as they hopefully improve.

My ponies I have two sets of twins and keeping both. Just having fun seeing who ends up being better.

I buy in other people's cut offs if you like. But I don't buy in lower than a 38 stat now because there are so many horses to choose and I marrying to have a small ish selection of 40 horses :)

"and I am trying"

I don't have any because majority of my horses were extinct and I only have foundations and 1 crop of foals. They suck though lol.

I might end up with Foundations yet as everything else looks like it's inbred.

HCQ- I'm excited to see how they do as well:) always need more quality QH breeders.

Thanks for all the responses!

I retire them from jumping at age 16/17. Mares must be 83" to warrant breeding from (unless I really like their pedigree). Stallions it's a little different - they need to be at least 82" and from darn good lines, plus be reasonably consistent jumpers (so often they rank well). I don't usually market 82-83" jumpers to the public (they have to be really good in my opinion to be worthy of public stud).

I'll sell anything 80"+ I don't want to breed from, and retire anything under 80".

I leave them all in jump offs until they are 17/18 usually. (I have had improvements as late as 16) OR when they start loosing me money!
I only keep mares who jump 82+
Stallys who jump 83+
But then it depends on the lines.

I sell those who don't make my standards cheaply or retire if they're jump isn't worthy.

Ideally like them jumping 79/80+ by 14 - 16 years!
Mares stats are from 37 - 40 - All stallions must be 40+! I usually retire any colts am not keeping or just let the odd one for sale.
