The quest for awesome appies!

DP Cremello is awesome!
-
If you don't want him @Bambi I'd be willing to trade for 2 straws from your choice of studs.

This 3G filly was hard to run through SBA. But she passed! ...Then only papered Red. *cries* She’ll stay intact for now in case I decide to boost her.

Bred my lower papered 2G snowflake mares. I didn’t expect too much since they are low papered, but I did get one intact baby:
Px3 Native Pirate SF
I’ll keep her intact until I have enough blue papered 3G snowflakes to replace her.
And this pretty show baby, who I probably should yum because her PT is low for a 3G, but dang it. I like her.
Px3 Pirate Party -
Oooh, snowflake!

She's got two hearts on her side!

Oh wow! That’s so neat!
-
I got a liver! She was so dark with not a single sooty that I thought there might be a chance was DP, if not Homozygous DP. I test bred her. Inconclusive. Because she has no sooty at all so it’s hard. Yummed the foal. Rerolled her portrait a bunch to see if she’d stay dark. She never really changed.
Hmm....
I decided to take the gamble. Gave her both missing copies of sooty. And.....
Paradox Pi
She doesn’t seem to be homozygous, but I don’t care. She’ll go great with my liver dun app stallion anyway. -
She’s named in honor of Pi day. :p

He's got it going on, I'm telling you! Have loved what I've gotten from him this season. Can't wait to see what he throws against my pasture mares next season.

All the pretty babies!

Just wanted to share one of my favorites with you all :) I just love the spots in her dam line.

It all started when I was gifted straws from this 'spotless' foundation:

Wow! What a beauty!

So I'm kind of officially de-lurking on this thread. Y'all have such gorgeous lines, and I have...well, I have what I've cobbled together. I'm trying to focus on blankets with big spots (and slow varnish to appreciate those colors). A couple of my crop from this season and last:

I’ve had this thread going for several seasons now. It’s taken me a while to amass a collection of really neat looking appies. And I still have a fair few plainer ones, too.
It just takes time! :)Thanked by 1ChateauAlbere -
I couldn't be happier man...I decided yesterday to breed my favorite baby boy Glittered from Spook to my pasture and well...my heart is soaring!
My favorite most bestest beautiful stud.
Glittered from Spook
And his Appy and LEOPARD foals!
I have sooooo much to say about each and every one but that would be too much for people to go through so just going to post their pictures. (Up until I lost control)
The Boys...
Glittered Ninja
Moon Of Hearts
8-> I ADORE this girl even though she's just a Chestnut underneath!
More CHESTNUTS
Glitter Surprise
Glittered Sky
Has a final height of 13.2!
Spooky Moon
Painting Away
And this girl is Glittered from Spook's sister who together produced...
Spots For DayzA
This wonderful foal who is also at 13.2!
Glitter My Spots
I didn't know how pretty leopards are with tobiano until now.
Dunkin Pumpkin
This dudes name says it all...♥️♥️
Evaporation
Oh all the leopards I'm getting! I'm so happy!
Like A Leopard
I tried so many times rerolling this dudes picture to try and make his blanket show...well it didn't work. :))
Spys The Name
And now the girls...
I love how this girl look like she's wearing a camouflaged suit and mask cause you just see her eyes aren't covered. I love her!
My Glitter Sunrise
I Lava Glitter
Weird Glitter
I am soo in love with how this girls face looks!♥️♥️
Golden Glitter
OMG EEEAAAAKKK! Look how small this girls spots are!
Glittered Moon
Sunny Isle
Same goes for this girl, lol. I just couldn't get the blanket any smaller haha.
White Browny Cloud
Fast As A Cheetah
This girl is the foal from One Lucky Filly who is a snowflake carrier along with Glittered from Spook who is this girls dad. So I'm hoping she's Het snowflake or a snowflake carrier herself!
Hidden Sun
The BOP who miraculously picked up BOTH PATN1 copies from her dad. Reason she's so special is cause she's from my very first horse in the game.
Sweetheart Jewel
And last but not least the first Appy from the pasture.
Gallilalow
Out of the 30 I bred. Only 6 weren't Appys or leopards. Man what a good day that was!Post edited by Wolvevenfrost at 2019-03-22 05:37:53 -
Sweetheart Jewel’s dal must carry PATN1. Its impossible for her to get both copies from her sire. Solid horses can carry PATN1. I have quite a few. :)
-
As Paradox says, the dam of Sweetheart Jewel carries PATN1. PATN1 only shows up in testing if the horse also carries a copy of LP.
For example, this mare has had a leopard foal, so she must carry PATN. However, since she doesn't have any LP, she doesn't express the PATN and genetic testing didn't test her for it.
Ats Kristina the Blue
And actually, now that I inspect her foals, it looks like she's passed her PATN on to all of them (rather than the sire pass it along). The first allele in the genetic test comes from the sire and the second comes from the dam. For this filly, for example, you can see the LP on the first allele from her sire, but the PATN on the second allele means it came from her dam, not from her blanket appaloosa sire.
Curacao UR -
I've found a trick to catch it before breeding. If you can hang on to a GMT token(for me that's quite rare), you can pull the horse in question up and it will show on the list whether they already carry PATN1 or not.Post edited by bluchrystals at 2019-03-22 13:16:03

@bluchrystals GMT's are a no go for me as barns are much more important lol!
@paradoxphoenix forgive me it was 1 or 2 in the morning and I've been up all night...I toke it too literally haha! I Now don't really understand though as I have 8 excluding Sweetheart Jewel, that are Hom PATN1 but ALL their dams don't have any Lp or PATN1 gene. It it really just that common in creates? I hope it is.Post edited by Wolvevenfrost at 2019-03-22 09:28:50 -
No worries. I’m not sure how common it is for non-LP creates to have PATN. I know I’ve created (and auctioned) many many many Appaloosas who have no PATN. And the liver dun stallion that I GMTd into an appy didn’t have PATN. But I have at least 4-5 known PATN carrier non-LP mares and one who is confirmed to not carry PATN because I couldn’t GMT PATN onto her offspring.
The rest? I have no idea. I haven’t tried to find out. :p -
Re: non-LP creates having PATN. I don't really have an answer for that either. I have to accounts over on server 2, but neither of them breed for appy (automatic cull to show herd), so most of my discoveries of it are by accident. And if the stud involved has PATN, I really only investigate foals if they turn out leopard (hence why I just noticed Curocao getting her dam's PATN today). I think I have two or three that I know of in my account here, plus one more in Server 2.
Fun trivia time: leopard complex was a very early mutation in wild horses, so PATN can be carried by a lot of breeds that you don't expect to find it in. It can "hide" unnoticed for generations until a cross-breeding with an LP horse turns the PATN on. -
I know of a case of a real life Arabian carrying PATN. Her half appy son by a non-PATN stallion inherited it.Thanked by 1ChateauAlbere
-
And there's Reminic in Spots, an AQH. His dam line had LP that was either hidden by roan or extremely slowing varnishing. His sire line apparently had PATN. Boom, blanket appy quarter horse. Good thing for his owners that AQHA doesn't crop misplaced white anymore.
-
I have two mares that aren't Appy but they carry TWO copies of PATN1.
-
Going through my livers I realized that this filly has an eye on her haunch.

Blu - that's so cool and yet so creepy! Ever feel like you're being watched? Lol

Hey, that pally was a hidden PATN!
-
This 3G guy got all the fun stuff from his parents, passed SBA, and... only papered B. Sad. Into the show string he goes.
Px3 Small Tragedies
This guy didn’t pass SBA
Px3 The Injustice
But look who got the fun genes from his parents, got a PT score higher than his sire (who is the highest from his gen), passed SBA, AND papered A!

I thought so! I so enjoy it when leopards pop up..course I never sell any :)) I just need to start a barn for them.
-
Oooh, the spots on that one Bambi! So perfect.

One of my favourite stallions finally gave me two sons today!
This one will be given a boost:

She picked up a prl gene. Was wondering why she was so light.

Technically I didn't breed these, but I'm looking forward to using them...all except Shadow Man. He won't be used until snowflake comes along because I'm adding snow to my livers and he's going to be my foundation for it. If it ever gets here! 8-> :!! :-?? =))

Black Splash Appaloosa was one of the first HH's I got in the game (when I started all of, like, a week ago) so I want to play with those genetics a bit, to try different base colors crossed with the Black Splash App or add pinto genes to the app genes and see what happens... I barely know what I'm doing or where exactly I want to go, but I have a few weeks to decide before I breed again :)
Here's my current herd-
Transcendence FTF, Foundation Stallion, Black Splash App
Dancinginthedark FTF, Foundation Mare, Black Splash App - I LOVE her pattern :x
Nocturne FTF, Foundation Mare, Black Splash App
Ever So Sweet FTF, Foundation Mare, Bay Roan Dun Splash App - she will be really fun to cross with my non-app studs who have dun, splash, and other fun genes :)
Babylon FTF, Second gen colt, Chestnut Frame Appaloosa, my only app foal this season. Out of Ever So Sweet by Youngblood FTF.
Of course in the HH process I had a lot of snips, including this one, who broke my heart because I LOVED the full leopard pattern :-( BUT he's the highest pointed foundation I've created (500+!), so, you win some, you lose some, I suppose. He's gonna make me lots of money at least ;)
