Breed him to a Chestnut Tobiano mare, one without frame so you don't risk lethal white and probably best she doesn't have W20 either.

If you wanted a darker foal try a mare with DP and/or Sooty, and so long as the mare is ee it doesn't matter what her agouti (A) gene is as it won't show without E

White factor is a pain as it's not a simple calculation. I keep the white factor low on my foundies but they occasionally drop Extensive WF foals.

id do like 20-30 mares with a variety of white factors ; see which ones you like best and then find more mares that look like the ones you like ; keep the girls and breed them back to him ( its bootstrapping but it will solidify your look quicker )

Thank you so very much. It's especially helpful when several people participate in the discussion. Each of you puts it in a slightly different way, and together it's a lot more informative than just one person. I appreciate that.

Only problem with my guy, the silly thing gives foals with a lower pt that his own. but some of his foals so far have been adorable (at least to me) and far too many of them get snipped. I want to keep trying, I'm going to have to do a genetics test on a fair number of mares I suspect. I'd rather not have to use gmts, they're too expensive. until my show horses start paying for things.

I'm having much more fun in the game this time around. It's more challenging and I like learning.
