I would say that his sire is probably on the lower range of A papered since he papered higher than his parents. And I would bet his mom is high blue. Maybe just under Gold papered since her parents and grandparents are A/Blue and she tested superior to her dam. I would look for a different stallion to pair with that mare. While you could get a foal to pass BA or SBA, it may take a long time, and probably a 30 pasture bonus.

Side note PT doesn’t really affect breeding. The paper level is more important. I have had mare’s with a poor pt test as good as mare’s with a far superior pt, and that lower pt mare’s produced amazing foals.

@Forestshadow, is it not wise to breed B stallions to yellow mares, Red mares to C stallions, etc?

Ok, so it's fine to mix paper levels then? As long as they are the same generation?

I use the same breeding practice as Annismyrph (starting with B/Red and C/Yellow). I will sometimes breed a B to a Yellow or vice versa. After the foundation generation though, it is always best to breed B to Red or A to Blue (or a high papered Red). That's how you get the higher quality foals.

That truly is a sad snip though. He is quite the looker.

And following with Annismyrph, my 2nd gen mares are either red or blue, but my studs are always A-papered. It works just fine in pasture and I get several foals passing.
