Hey y’all! I have finally decided to start my first GMT project! With the wonderful help of @lethalximpulse I’ve got a cute 2 year old Cherry Drop stud colt. I’ve already made him ee, hom nd1, and hom sty. Now I have to decide what else I want. I’ve got 10 GMTs left, but I’m not above dipping into my holiday bonus just a bit to get him perfect.

Options:
1) Warmblood? I’ve been breeding for warmbloods lately, but I’m tempted to keep him a riding horse. Should I switch him or no?
2) Pearl? I love pearl, especially with liver, but will it look good with a black liver?
3) Flaxen? I’m not a huge flaxen fan, but it looks soooo good on black livers.
4) Should I splurge and buy more GMTs to add a copy of s+ to him? I love the dapples, but is it worth it?
5) Anything else you think I should put? Again, this is my first project, so I want him to be perfect.

Personally I would add the pearl because It looks good/goes with anything! But that's just my opinion because I love pearl too lol and I think he is a lovely colt!

You could always add just one copy. It would lighten him slightly, but would pop up in later generations as hom prl so you'd still get that creamy look.

Thanks @HorseAngel! And that is a good thought @bluchrystals. I might try it at the very end after I add everything else. If I don’t like how it works, I’ll just take it off. What do y’all think about flaxen?

Flaxen is neither here nor there for me. While I like the flame tails on black livers, I also like a lot of white which contrasts really well with the black manes and tails.

I’m normally not a big fan of flaxen even though I love it on the black livers, so I think I’ll leave it off this one. He’s het flaxen anyway, so it can always be a nice surprise down the road. And I love all sorts of different kit genes, plus I’m starting to really like splash on my warmbloods, but I think I’m going to leave him solid, and cross to some nice colorful mares. That way I can have a big variety without having to pay attention too much to overdoing the white factor.

That's a pretty good idea! I usually like a good amount of white on mine but never thought about leaving a stud solid and just crossing to non solid mares lol!

Lizad07 · Nov 27, 2019 8:25 PM

Lol I think I’m just really lazy. But also, I think he’s finished! I decided on the het pearl so it show up in later generations. I also bumped up his bone weight just a bit so if I want to cross out to WBs, I’ve got a good shot of crossing the 1.50 mark.
