Breeding is addictive, but as a new player, you don't have to rush into it. I didn't breed very many horses at all my first two seasons in the SIM (although my first season, I joined in the final third of the year, so it was a short one), partly because money was tight (and I prioritized buying horses that could earn me money right now, as opposed to next year), and partly because I was trying to learn about pedigrees and breeding before actually doing it. There's no one right way to play this game - some people may start off breeding and do just fine, but that was my approach.
So, welcome, and feel free to keep asking questions - that is the only way you will learn!
