Breeding Your Horses
Articles on how to use various breeding methods: in-house, pasture, and using the Advanced Breeding Lab. More on basic color genetics, punnett squares, crossing two horses (what to look for beyond reading individual genetic testing results), warning about lethal genes. What to breed for, tips on deciding on breeding goals? Breeding ability, what it means to breed horses of equal ability. Links to advanced topics of boosting, uneven vs. even breeding, and bootstrapping.
Discuss what the Breeders Clubs are, and what qualifications are required to be eligible for the leaderboard categories. Remember that this content is in the Show Herd article, so focus on the show-related aspects of the leaderboards (breeding-related leaderboard content should in the Breeding Your Horses article). Touch on how to search for horses that belong to a given club. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed.
