I do M1 for foundations as in the first generation, so M2 would be 2nd gen for me :)

I do 2g on alot of my old lines for foals that come from foundations. Now i just add the number for each gen they are behind there name.

I do 1G for foundations, 2G for their foals, etc. I also put an abbreviation for their size/bone density because I have some lines for Riding Horses, some for Draft, and some for Warmbloods. The rest of the name is based on their parents names.

I dont use a number for foundations ( so they are LG whatever I name them )
second generation is LG2 (Sire's name ) Game iD number
3rd is LG3 ( Sire's name ) Game iD number
etc etc. The only other "tag" I add is for Snowflake SNF for hom and sn for het.

@annismyrph your idea is brilliant!



I use a number and letter system with mine, but also so I can track papers as they get higher. Similar to Tzano & others, I also try to name my foals based off their sire’s name (so I don’t inbreed).

For example:
xPr Devil Dog (exceptional producer, xPf is exceptionally perfect, pFd is perfect foundation )
2gA Mattis ( 2nd gen, A papered)
5gS Composer (5th gen *Star stallion)

For my lined horses, I include their Pts:

Pocket Sand 13 3 (13.3PT [assumed] *Star)
APP BayStrike 12 9G (12.9PT *Gold mare)

If you’re using different studs with different genes to cross, you can also abbreviate genes - Gp for Gastra Plume, Lc for Lace, Ow for frame, etc.

Hope this helps! :)
