ohh yeah , and i still do it ; for me I dont keep a colt if he papers below A even on 2g, star by 5th gen; Mares are red 1 and 2g ; 3g-5g must be blue or better ; 6g must be gold

Everyone has their own preferences, as long as you know what you mean you’re totally fine!

I personally label mine as gen + paper level, foundations start with FND and everything else starts with 2G etc. Then I add paper levels so I end up with stuff like FNDR, 2GBlu, 3GSt, etc.

And then I have a marker for my specific Little Red Riding Ponies line, so their names come out like this girl here:

2GR LRRP Storybook

Anything with their generations not quite even gets a Q added somewhere in their prefix, for “questionable”. Just because it makes me smile. :))

And then I have some various prefixes for specific horses floating around to remind me of something about them.

A little complicated, but I know how it works and so it’s fine. :)

I meant to add to my comment that you can and should label things however you want. That’s my favorite part about HaJ, theres no right or wrong way to do things. Label things however it makes you happy! Because I’m not sure about everyone else but I always change the labels on horses I buy to my own

I've never labelled paper level, just G2, or KT2 for generation2 etc. Sometimes I might add a paper level if it is significant, but not usually

I name mine a few different ways depending on what they are;

Bootstrap
DF genBS ID#

Main Line
gen/sireinitial/Sup or PT (depending on intact)/ID#
At 4th gen I switch to
DFM (Dark Frost Mainline) gen/ID#

Mine are by generation. I can easily see the paper level without even clicking on the horse, so putting paper level in the name seems a bit redundant to me, but everybody has their own system :)

@FallenFarms Completely agree here! I track the sire line up to 4th gen, then I only track the generation for further breeding. Since I name them all anyway it's no extra hassle to add the gen (for me), but any additional tracking becomes a bit useless as I extensively test.

I add gen and paper level as well as which line they go into because I've got so many going on! :)) My prefixes are LM for LusterMist, BG for BluGroven, DD for DarkDiamonds(used to be LVR),SG for StoneGolum,CBsh for CryBaby show(snips only but keeps them from going to auction), and BS for BootStrap. This girl is 6th gen and you can see how everything is posted in her prefix. Her Name is pulled from the previous gens.
