KhaosAcres is right. Nor was her breeding quality close to her sires. Comparison testing only tests against the same sex parent. BA and SBA compare against both parents.

Her uneven breeding is what caused it in part. If her sire had been B papered she probably wouldn’t have passed. Or if her dam was red, she might have had a better chance of passing. I have gotten foals to pass BA from foundation papered Red mares to A papered stallions, with a 30 pasture bonus.

Honestly with a stallion that nice I’d breed him to 2g blue mares. You’d get more intact babies that way, and further down the line they’d have a higher chance of staying intact.

I purchased a similar stallion years ago, high quality A papered boy, I didn’t didn’t breed him evenly with mares, I had a lot of fun with his babies though, and he was/is my favorite stallion by far. He’s been gone for awhile now and just today I went looking for his descendants, I only have 6 intact descendants left.
