$CRVSF Find Me ExPA

My breeding goal with this horse, is one to change from Mare to Stallion. He will then be the new foundation stallion to my new satin/snowflake line. I had one previous one that I was able to clone so I had a fairly set breeding 2nd gen mares, but after the mare comparison went into play I got a little over excited with the spay button, and took a fair amount of them out. So now I am trying to rebuild the herd. As with my first one, snowflake was not introduced yet to the game, so I set out to bred Satin snowflaked appies, of black or blue roan colouring, riding horse body.
My appies are only Lp patterned, no other patterns. I also do not put in any fantasy genes. You would think that this would be easy, but in fact its not really. I have created my foundation horses from expros ... I have bought the snowflake genes, or in the case of the RS Accomplishments of Like Mind people, collected a few. very special ones. I don't expect any snowflaked appies until either the third or fourth gen. I only keep stud colts that are sup to sire and with mares AGA to dam if they are really special.

If I was to win, then I would be able to take a chance on a different project that follows the same line as this, only I would be taking a Yellow mare and transforming her to a Stallion and adding satin to him. He would be the foundation to a new Chocolate/Liver line, something I haven't really played with. I have tried to always use Expro foundations and I have never boosted a foundation horse, so it would be a bit of a challenge to get the foals to first pass Doris and then get the AFPT up. with a C stud and red mares.

1) Horse: ***I changed mine!

GMT 1G Pierrot DZNo

2) State your long term goal with said horse
- My long term goals with this guy is to use him to help start my new B/Red Foundation Chinchilla line. I am totally starting over foundation stud-wise and selling all my GMT's foundations that are C papered. This guy is going to be the building block to my new high quality line of Chinchilla/Onyx horses

3) State your breeding goals with said horse (ie. which mares you are going to breed to in order to get a certain height, color, bone, PT score.)
- My breeding goals for this stud is to breed high quality Chinchilla/Onyx horses. I want to keep a tight grasp on quality and start seeing *Star/*Gold papers in 4th gen.

4) How do you intend to reach these goals?
- I intend to reach these goals by utilizing all the testing i have access to to create a strict culling regimen. I will breed him only to Ex Pro/Perf mares (Red papered) to ensure a matched quality. All foals will be strict tested before even opening the image. From there they will be Genetic Tested, Performance Inspected, and Papered. Foals will follow a strict papering requirement and eventually a strict AFPT requirement. Foals must test superior to sire/dam. By 3rd gen, horses MUST be homozygous for Chinchilla at least, with Onyx being mixed in however.

5) How will you obtain the mares? Buy them? Create them? Buy them from auction?
- I will primarily be creating the mares but if ones come up for sale/auction for a reasonable price that is exactly what i need, i will buy/bid.

6) What colors will you start with? Do you already have the mare or stallion then why that one?
- My starting color for my stud is Buckskin Chinchilla Onyx Appaloosa Brindle. He is Brown based vs Bay based. Mares he will be bred to must be Black based and/or Bay/Brown based (E? or EE; A or At, het or hom) and must be homozygous sooty. Champagne will also be a big part of this project/goal through some of the mares as well as my two other studs.

7) What would you like to do with the genes/alleles if you were to win?
- If i won 1st place, i would add 2 copies of Satin to the stud in this post and i would add two more copies of Satin to This Stud since i would love to introduce Satin to my Mushroom line as well. Troubadour is going to be my main Mushroom stud like Pierrot will be for my Chinchilla line
- If i won second place, i would add 2 copies of Satin to the stud in this post
- If i won third place, i would get one copy of Satin on the stud in this post

(Sorry for my expensive tastes. I have actually kinda given up the hopes of getting satin but thought it was worth a shot with this competition! Thanks for the opportunity!)

My stud


LVR1B Ghost Of A Chance

2) State your long term goal with said horse

My long term goal is to breed foals that have the combination of genes needed to look as Ghost does, liver chestnut mushroom pearl. I intend to add satin as well for which I have another stud not shown.

3) State your breeding goals with said horse (ie. which mares you are going to breed to in order to get a certain height, color, bone, PT score.)

Short term goal is to breed to DP mares to get as many high quality second gens as possible. They will then be culled for height with anything under 16h going to auction.

4) How do you intend to reach these goals?

Creating/Buying DP mares while fully testing the foals

5) How will you obtain the mares? Buy them? Create them? Buy them from auction?

Currently I have been buying or creating them. With the DP sale going on I have also adjusted quite a few mares. :D

6) What colors will you start with? Do you already have the mare or stallion then why that one?

He has a Baroque base, which already has Hom pearl. I've added Hom Mushroom and one copy of DP.

7) What would you like to do with the genes/alleles if you were to win?

Possibly a Hom DP Hom pearl chestnut ExPro mare.

2) Long term goal is to get a line full of colourful horses with high quality in breeding and showing

3) I am breeding him to mares of similar quality with a huge variation of genetics for diversity. Some have KitM, some have SplashM, some have Mushroom or Snowflake etc.

4) By keeping and breeding his best foals

5) Everything. I buy them, create them from Rank Specials etc

6) I start with all kinds of colours, as I get easily bored with uniform looking horses. I like how he throws all kind of colours, and love to explore his foals and see how they look.

7) I would love to create a mare with KitM and Satin for him, for my dream foal

1) You must pick one horse (and only one to be fair)


2g sa At MB Silks

2) State your long term goal with said horse.
My long term goals with this boy is to use him as my sire for my breeding line of bay or brown, S+, Satin, KitM, and DP carries. He will also play a big roll in future show horses so PT and show quality is important in future offspring.

3) State your breeding goals with said horse (ie. which mares you are going to breed to in order to get a certain height, color, bone, PT score.)
I will breed him to 2g blue mares, with consistent PT. My longterm goal is to breed a line that is all hom S+, bay or brown, satin, KitM, sb1, and possibly kp.

4) How do you intend to reach these goals?
I will only keep daughters that paper superior to mothers; having the colors I’m after, and are warmblood, have consistent PT. Colts will have to have color, PT, papers, superior to sire and brothers. Ideally they would all horses used for breeding would be 16hh+, but I always forget when I’m culling to think about height so this is more of a loose standard.

5) How will you obtain the mares? Buy them? Create them? Buy them from auction? I will buy them wherever and whenever I can, and hopefully breed a few.

6) What colors will you start with? Do you already have the mare or stallion then why that one?
The mares have to be at least warmblood, bay, or liver. I prefer they have S+, but those are hard to get ahold of. I already have a few that work, they have all of the previous specified genes, as well as several bonus genes like DP, KitM, exc.

7) What would you like to do with the genes/alleles if you were to win? I would add S+, and maybe Satin, to a foundation stallion, so I would be able to breed 2g mare’s that match my mare requirements.

Ooh! This'll hello me focus/narrow down my new goals!

1) You must pick one horse (and only one to be fair)

BBZ2 DriftAndTwist
2) State your long term goal with said horse
I'd like to eventually have an even-bred satin liver line with TE and maybe KitM (but only medium WF or less), and he carries snowflake, so if that pops up down the line I won't be mad at all!
3) State your breeding goals with said horse (ie. which mares you are going to breed to in order to get a certain height, color, bone, PT score.)
I'm thinking to focus on color before quality, at least for a generation or two - as long as the mares pass basic breeding advice, I'm looking for livers (preferably hom DP) that have satin, TE, or KitM.
4) How do you intend to reach these goals?
By scrounging through other players' evenly-bred cast-offs, although I'm also working on a set of foundations to feed into the breeding program (doing it backwards!)
5) How will you obtain the mares? Buy them? Create them? Buy them from auction?
Auction is my friend. I can't generally afford the normal sale prices for what I'm after, so I'll be going through the auction with a fine-toothed comb (that's how I got him, lol). I'm not unwilling to take a chance on fillies that don't have their genetic test done, either - if it looks like their parents could have provided the right genes, I'll take a shot.
6) What colors will you start with? Do you already have the mare or stallion then why that one?
Collecting livers! I think the satin is going to be the hardest part, though...
7) What would you like to do with the genes/alleles if you were to win?
EDIT: I have a foundation stallion that's a "dark chestnut" create who popped up with TE2 - if I could make him hom DP and hom satin, if be totally thrilled... I lucked into more-suitable foundation from a Hom Sooty EP, so satin would be the priority, then add another copy of DP (I'm 99% sure he only has one) and a copy of TE1. :D

I moved this to the games/contest category

All Who Wander FTF

I'm going to enter with my new boy I bred the other night! This is All Who Wander FTF, a 3G White Spotted (kitM) Liver Chestnut Riding Horse stallion by Aspen FTF out of Sojourner FTF.

Long term goal: My long term goal for this stud is to influence kitM in my Riding Horse lines. I have just a handful of kitM RHs right now and unfortunately a lot of the kitMs from this colt's sire got snipped. So, I was thrilled to get him to pass! Another long term goal with AWW will be to get DP into my RH lines. Right now I focus on DP in my warmblood lines, but it is always fun to have it crop up elsewhere, and right now I have a few scattered het DP RHs. He will be a fun addition and it will be neat to see where DPs show up later in the lineages :)

Breeding goals: AWW will be bred to 3G RH fillies in my herd (I only breed even). My intent will be to breed as many kitM RH foals as possible from this colt that pass SBA and test Superior to Sire/Dam. I won't focus too much on which color mare he breeds except I likely WON'T cross him with my Champagne RHs, which focus on other patterns besides kitM.

How will I reach these goals? I know it's crazy but I still pick my stallion/mare pairs by hand lol (versus adding stallion[s] to a pasture to randomly breed mares). So that being said, I will only cross him with 3G mares to keep my lines even. I will also not cross him with any mares lower than Red papered, as he is B papered. I will also focus on crossing him with Superior mares. All of this together should result in 4G foals that are of high quality, ideally Blue/A papered and Superior. In my 4G I am really tightening up on my papering and Superiority requirements, so choosing high quality mares and utilizing the pasture bonus will help this.

How I will get mares: Most of the mares will be homebred by FTF, but I am never opposed to acquiring new bloodstock or using straws/eggs to diversify my lineages. I do not like crossbreeding so adding outside lineages can help me diversify lines where I only have a few representative stock in my own herd, such as my current situation with kitM RHs. I'm always keeping an eye on the auction and forums to see what is available :)

What colors I'll start with: As stated, I won't worry as much about what colors I will breed to (except NOT champagne) as this line will focus more on pattern than color. Any of my quality 3G RH fillies are good candidates to consider.

What I would do with prizes: If I were to win, I would love to add kitM to a foundation or two so I can continue to diversify my kitM RH lineages. I have a kitM Catch a Blue Moon who would love a boyfriend :) If I had more genes to use I would enjoy getting some new foundation hom DP bloodstock for my WB project. And I can always make good use of straws so that would also be a welcome prize!

Thanks so much! @};-

My pretzel twist GMT project
1. State your long term goal with said horse
I plan on using him as one of my primary herdsires. I’m want DP in basically all of my lines so he will be a great overall addition. He will be used to produce even bred horses with lots of chrome.
2. State your breeding goals with said horse (ie. which mares you are going to breed to in order to get a certain height, color, bone, PT score.)
He will be used to produce Flashy DP foals with Kit genes. Quality is also important and all must pass sba. I like Warmbloods and riding horses equally so hopefully I will get some of both.

4) How do you intend to reach these goals?
He will be bred to red papered mares that are homozygous sooty and have a lot gene or splash.
5) How will you obtain the mares? Buy them? Create them? Buy them from auction?

A mix of all of the above. I have most of them already.

6) What colors will you start with? Do you already have the mare or stallion then why that one?

I have several mates but I’m always looking for a few more. They need to be hom sooty or Dp. And have some sort of white gene, but not w1 or w2. Some appy mares will probably be used as well. I have several mares that fit this criteria.
7) What would you like to do with the genes/alleles if you were to win?
I will add another kit gene to Flip and maybe satin. If I win four alleles, I’ll add a kit gene to my dark chocolate mare.

@Dunappy9, he's also Het for DP.

0LV1 Drakul 0w0
This is my Freaky Friday boy. He's already had some work done to get the homozygous recessive flaxen and pangare I want in my livers, and I removed both frames and added an S+ and a 5% boost. The long term goal would be to add hom satin and tiger eye and make him as tall and light as possible, and probably add a white pattern like kit M, I haven't decided. Not appy, I don't want him to varnish out. Oh, I'd like him to be hom PATN1 though, so he could throw leopards. And then use him to found a line of tall golden eyed satin black liver and S+ liver riding horses.

I'll breed him to as many foundation livers as I can get my hands on, including my five Freaky Friday mares, and all the hom sooty, hom recessive flaxen and pangare chestnuts I can, especially those ExPer sooty ones. I already have several mares like that, and will be watching Herd Helpers and the auction and forum for the opportunity to get more. I'd like to weed out all the yellows that don't have DP as I can replace them with ExPros, so eventually I'll have red papered mares with the base genes and liver mares to breed him too. I'll also keep a lookout for mares with that sooty/flaxen/no pangare combo I want and tiger eye. I'd love to GMT a mare with all those same genes to pull eggs from, but alas, money, lol.

Then I'll keep the very best stud(s) and breed them to the mares in the second gen, watching out for frames. Ideal would obviously be hom DP, tiger eye, satin, ff, pp, no frame, and A papered lol, but we'll see what reality gives me. And so on from there.

If I were to win, I'd get as much of the modding I have planned for him done as I could!

Contest is over! I will be picking winners soon.

This was really fun- I loved seeing what everyone's goals are! Thank you!
