I usually stumble across a project horse ... an accident waiting to happen in a good way sort of thing. If I've collected the proper monetary amounts in real or HBs it get done ... I very rarely "seek out" the projects.

In my Barns I have a few lines running

My main thing is Appaloosa, but to make it a little challenging I breed only Appy to Appy. No Sb1,2, W 1, 2, 3, ectra ... just LP. Then when the Snowflake came out, that was introduced it my Appy lines. Right now working Snowflake, Nd1, Tiger Eye Appies. This goes for my Satin and non Satin Appies (they are separate satin from non satin) I have been doing this since I started playing.

Then the KIT genes ... Sb1,2, Wm, W3,W10, W8, Splash, Splash2 .... all looking for that elusive Kit Promoter. Again like the Appies; I have a Satin line and a Non Satin line.

Then there is the Restricted line, which is different from my new Fantasy line. Love Mushroom and Splash M ... noticed that my Splash M were aging out so to get a little more out of them I started working the mushroom in. That is the goal Splash M/Mushroom. Satins are not separate, they are mixed in this group.

Then, lastly, which sort of came by accident ... My Fantasy line. Kept separate from the others, because fantasy can only be entered in the Fantasy Leader boards, and that is huge group. (the fantasy leader board, with a lot of way older lines than mine) Here we have my two newest loves Chocolate and Spiders ... but I was lucky to get some NEX straws at Christmas so that's been thrown in there as well. Again Satin is not separate as with the KIT and Appies.

As it was mentioned before, you can go big or you can go small ... I tend to go small.

This guys is one of those "accidents". New Rank Special ... small amounts of GMTing,

Changed a few things and then sent him out into the world LOL

Depends on what kind of project. If there's a particular horse that I want to be a certain way then I class it as a project (I've only ever had maybe 5 of those in many years of playing :D )
Otherwise I'm all over breeding projects - originally I spent my first 4 or 5 years of playing working solely on a particular warmblood line (that I still work on though it's not my main focus anymore) with only 2 very small barns :)) before I figured out that a bit of judicious new creates breeding and show horses could help me get more barns to expand my project further... and then last year I could finally afford to buy Axiom Blue (I'd been admiring it from afar) so that became a new project... and then brindles, and chocolate palominos (followed by Sables because they're pretty) and Ice 16... and then Ice 3 & 4 and Ice1 and that was quickly followed by Pearl + Satin together (I LOVE that combo :x )... and a new foundation warmblood project separate from my original warmblood line...
And you can see right there how projects happen, and you don't have to just work on only 1 project at a time too :-))

I'm not sure I ever plan projects, they just happen! Usually after I see something and think Oooh, that's pretty!!! Lol!
