I personally have a show barn and then a barn for my pretty ones (literally just X's but still) and it works because the show horses support my color addiction
@Hagen It depends on what you're working towards and what you're starting with. Your minimum ratings tend to go up over time as your herd improves, especially if you're breeding AD. If you're starting fresh, PPP is easy enough.
I use to breed for colors until I learned for them to have any value then they have to be WWW and unfortunately people on here are such scammers that they ask 200k plus for a horse that if mods cared about their players would make easier to get. Honestly I've lost a lot of interest in the game now that breeding for color has no real point if the horse isn't WWW rated
