I never was one to chase the leaderboards. To make the list at all was a bonus for me, and in those days I had bred my lines with a normal progression. Even generations, and all the breeding stock had…

Thanks for the link to that post, that helped a ton... and I'm thinking I made a mistake lol. So many pretty and creative backgrounds to choose from. LOL.

I've been away from the game for too long to have much say in this matter, but I have always bred for myself and always viewed my horses making the boards in any capacity as a bonus since I don&#…

I figured a reasonable cutoff would be 200. Not too low yet not too high. 200s is about the average of what I get from those creates.

Yeah, when they first came around, I was long past…

Thanked by 1Fiddler
Oh my, good to see you again, I just came back myself.

Thanked by 1ConfluenceStable
If it's superior, I used to GMT to fit the criteria.

Thanked by 1annismyrph
I cap my mares at 100 per generation in the pasture, and I keep a max of 9 boys for each generation.

Thanked by 1Fiddler
I find the breeding bonus from those pastures worth not having a payout from those mares.

Thanked by 1OopsDotCom
I have a little 90 stall barn that I put all the horses in that I intend to auction off.

Thanked by 1OopsDotCom
To me, that's a good argument for universal healthcare. No one would have to fear losing medical care.

I run dark mode on Firefox using an extension add on. It helps. I don't have migraines, but I vastly prefer dark mode because it is easier on my eyes.

Thanked by 1Mensie
I am less terrified for myself since I am 45 years old, in a few years I will be "nonfunctional" in the traditional patriarchal society. Besides, I had my tubes tied when I had little Sith a…

Thanked by 1Xzeina
Oh, congrats, was wondering what grade you had gotten.

Thanked by 1aliciabruder11
My question is - did all the horses in the pedigree pass SBA and tested superior to their parents? I see one mare on the distaff side that wasn't paper tested. At third gen I keep only As and Blu…

Thanked by 1OopsDotCom
Oh, Winnie. How I still miss her. She was my shadow. She was an orange tabby with white on her. She was literally my shadow. She would follow me from room to room and keep me company. She wasn't …

The court hearing has been scheduled for Monday June 6th at 930 am. Will update.

Thanked by 1Xzeina
Lol. Yup, there's been cases where I converted extra sup sons to fillies instead when I needed girls and I already had one sup son that I liked the looks of.

Thanked by 2annismyrph Fiddler
Oh, I have a local friend who is willing to come and stay for a week or so and watch little Sith while I work. I have someone from a charity organization that works with disabled people assisting me, …

The car is in both of our names. CPS was not helpful, they simply told me I could take care of myself and was on my own, and just gave me the info for a shelter to call. Unfortunately, that particular…

Thanked by 1Xzeina
I have 9 pastures myself from the days I used to have 2 pastures per generation. Now I only use one pasture per generation, but there are several pastures I'm not using due to lack of the appropr…

Long story short....

You know how people can change over time, right?
Well... at first everything was good with my boyfriend. Then he showed that he had a temper issue when litt…

Thanked by 1Xzeina
I've had plenty of AGAs pass SBA. Pasture breeding doesn't guarantee that the foal will stay intact even with a full 30 day pasture boost to the mares. It gets a lot more noticeable the high…

Thanked by 1OopsDotCom
1st round of culling is SBA
2nd round of culling is paper testing for those that pass SBA
3rd round of culling is genetic testing for those that pass SBA
Final round of culling is…

I did get a black appy with dp, so I'll be GMTing in the dun

Thanked by 1Cavalynn
I don't like blackout events because I breed for dun appies with dp.

Thanked by 1Cavalynn
The changes hasn't affected me at all since I only breed my pastures once. I do like to buy up yearling foals from the auctions that have reasonably high PT scores to replace my show stock that p…

Thanked by 1OopsDotCom
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. I have 9 100 stall pastures. One for each generation from foundation to 9th generation (I used to have 2 pastures per generation, but I cut back on my horses and sold of…

Just hang in there. Last year I was able to find a job after not being employed for 10+ years due to real life stuff. I work at a federal courthouse under a special federal contract for disabled peopl…

You and your family are in my thoughts.

Thanked by 1amber
Thank you for updating the GMT lab! Now I can keep my best pasture foals even if they missed some LE genes.

Thanked by 1Xzeina
Generally I've been too busy to sort through my show horses so I just let them sit until they age out.

Mares stay in their pastures until they either age out or I cull them. Sever…

Glad to hear that you're ok, Ammit. Hope everyone else is ok too. Best wishes to all.

Thanked by 1Nightphoenix
Personally I would just spay all the mares that didn't test superior and take the hit now and start working on keeping only superior mares. Would be the cheapest route unless you have HBs to burn…

Thanked by 2pitchblackdam38 Nightphoenix
That's one reason why I don't do boosted lines, I start all my lines from regular foundation stock that are B/C papered for the boys and Red/Yellow for the girls to kinda try to keep the gap…

Thanked by 1Nightphoenix
I mass test my foals using the barn page. For superior testing of foals that pass SBA, I go to the control panel tab before the pictures finish loading and comp test. Then I look. lol.

Thanked by 1annismyrph
My favorite Thanksgiving dish was when Mom would make her fried cauliflower. Yum. Oh the turkey gravy was good too. She would put pineapple and brown sugar on top of the turkey and then baste the turk…

Thanked by 1Xzeina
I love the updates to the stable icons. They look a lot more colorful now.

Thanked by 1Corvus
I like cherry drops but I don't like them as GMT projects, I don't breed wild bays.

Thanked by 1Cavalynn
Thanks Ammit, it was fun to log into the game today and see all the decor.

Thanked by 1Ammit
Just remember, high PTs take time to reach their best potential. Lower PTs get there quicker, so the best show herds tend to have a mix of both.
