CarmelMocha or RythmicNight because they got all the genes. I'd probably go with RythmicNight because he's got a higher paper, but that depends on your fillie's levels.

Pretty sure Blu means those are the 2 she would keep.

It all depends on your breeding goals. Personally I PT test and cull inconsistent foals before I colour test and then cull any non grullo foals before I paper the remaining intact foals.

This boy would’ve been the only one left intact in my barn.

After that I open each sires page and cull the lowest paper levels keeping only the highest level intact of any intact foals (boys and girls) and those that did not inherit any special genes (fantasy or KP in my case).

Which would leave RhythmicNight, StripedAbyss and black dreams (who I’d later cull because StripedAbyss got the splash M)

Although I would totally understand keeping Carmelmocha intact with all the goodies he got.

Hmm okay, makes sense! Thanks for sharing your though process @Bandit1119

Well this particular line is GP, DP, Ice 4 & 16, and Splash M.

One stallion is HOM GP, which I will be keeping (I don’t have any GP mares - it was an egg I won in an auction). Then I’m leaning more towards the Ice 4 with Splash M

Oh and the satin of course

All right. Try it this way. What is the reasoning for keeping each colt?

I could cull StripedAbyss and keep CarmelMocha but CarmelMocha is papered lower, see my problem? :))

Was getting ready to say the same thing, @PersianPenName.

Ok I’m down to four and I love them all. I think I’m happy now :D thank you so much everyone for your help!

I go by height first unless I absolutely must have a specific gene.

@bluchrystals, you only keep tall foals? What are your perimeters?

It does all depend on what you want. Personally, I won't keep anything that isn't Superior (colt or filly). By a B stallion I requires an A. Out of a Red mare requires a Blue. Otherwise my barn gets way out of hand and the quality stagnates.
