I keep track, but the way I have mine set up it's easy to do. Each horse gets a blank tattoo for it's generation, so if I breed two sixth gen horses, I know the foal is seventh gen - I don't need to scroll back and count. :)

Go to the stable management section of the drop down menu, select tattoo registry, then buy a tattoo slot (assuming you've used your free one), name it, then use it on whatever horse you want to.

You don't have to create an image for it - here's an example of a picture tattoo and a blank on one of my horses. "G42G" stands for Gael4ce Second Gen.

The blank tattoo won't show anywhere on the picture, which is my preference. I don't like a bunch of tattoos on the horse or picture. But I *can* search by tattoo name.

So when I want a second generation chestnut appaloosa stallion, I'd go to the search, select the appropriate genetics and gender, then put "g42g" in for the tattoo name, and the search would return all my second generation chestnut appaloosa stallions. :)

It makes finding good crosses much easier in a huge herd, plus it makes counting long pedigree generations so much easier - all I have to do is see what the parents are and add one, apply the correct tattoo, and keep going.

And as a side note, please use proper spelling and punctuation on the forum - we do have rules against "chat speak". :)

Tattoos have nothing to do with the tack system. :)
Use the control panel tab, and look at the bottom of the page for the tattoo manager link.

They don't have to be blank Gael just doesn't want to bother with art. You can still ahve fancy tats and put them on the lip slot. They are invisible then. :D

I would do lip tattoos but it goes to the hip automatically so I leave some blank so that I can just hit the button and go lol
