What would you guys do with this foal? Her pt is lower then I would like it to be and she is inconstant. She has passed all of her tests including strict mare advice.

I would spay her. If you look at her sire and her dam, they both have much better PT scores than her. Although PT scores are no indicator of breeding ability a score of 9.7 for a 3g horse is quite low. Like I said, this is just what I would do, you need to take into account your breeding goals and if there is anything about this horse's genetics that you want to preserve. Hope this helps. :)

Her PT score is low due to her being inconsistent. If you like her and would like to keep her, you can use a GMT to change her to consistent. This will raise her PT.

If you do GMT her you will have to test for consistency and PT again.

GMT is out of the question. I got in trouble by my parents for spending about $300 in less then a month when I first got this game.

There are two things to consider.

1. I have had mares like this go Blue

2. What kind of a line is she going into? ie My W4 mare that you are acquainted with. I keep her for the heck of it and have fun with her. She only makes show ponies. However, with my Expro lines mares and stallions must paper blue/A second generation. I feel like you mare is halfway inbetween. So it comes down to how do you want to use her and how do you want to structure this particular line?

(It is worth noting that I have this 'rule' for my Expros so that my mares and stallions are roughly the same quality. This makes my life easier :P )

She would be breed to satlions papering B. To keep the red B paper lines going. She would also be used more as an experiment for fun type of thing. My real lines are with in my KP sabinos that I was kindly given. That are A and blue. Here are the links to them. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3128508. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3125902.

Why would you breed her to a B papered stallion? Her sire is already behind where he 'should' be. I don't think you quite understand the whole mares paper levels compared to stallions thing.

Abbey98 · Mar 4, 2015 8:07 PM

Should I sell the sire then? Im not sure because I have seen others do that.

clarebear · Mar 4, 2015 8:10 PM

Personally, he would have been snipped as a foal. I keep 99% of my horses or yum them and those that I do sell are generally gifts to close friends.

Abbey98 · Mar 4, 2015 8:14 PM

I gelded him and placed him in the public auction. Thank you.

Redbud · Mar 4, 2015 8:14 PM

I would hang onto her for now. Time can bring clarity :D and you obviously love her.

Abbey98 · Mar 4, 2015 8:17 PM

Ya I do love her she is very beautiful I love the frame and the white spots. Just wish she wasn't inconstant and had a higher PT score.

You have until September to decide :)
