Thank you so much just comped all older stock in pastures made way for superior foals!

Thank you, I will need to keep some to keep my show barns full. Unless someone can find a easy way, to figure out the best show ponies in the barn.

Thank you so much! I do try and keep all my G2 and usually sell G3-G4 I keep all G5 but am going to sort by pt now! ;)

I would mark the aga part in their name and keep some of them to begin with, but once I got enough superior mares I would snip the aga girls and toss them in a barn.

What I recently did to make sure my mare’s were on par with my stallions was I comp tested my suds until I found several of the same quality, that I would consider benchmark quality. Then I gender swapped one of those boys into a mare, then did all comparisons testing of mares in that generation against that horse. Then I knew my quality was as close to even as I could possibly make it. It was spendy to begin with, but so worth it.

I personally do not allow ANY "about as good as" mares or studs to stay intact. It does not matter to me if I end up snipping all of a new generation in a particular month. Keeping the ones that test AAGA bring down the quality of my lines. I only keep and breed superior foals. Anything else goes to my show herd. There are several months where I will only get like, 1 or 2 intact foals, if any, for a higher generation and that is perfectly okay with me :)

It is just like any other test ; are the parents both the same"paper" level? as well as generation level? If so its a better shot at her testing SUP ; if not I wouldn't even try ; you can always buy straws until you get a colt that good enough :)

This is my high pt mare

@annismyrph I sent you a PM. You have some great stuff in there, thanks for letting me snoop. I can not wait to have a few larger pastures ;)
