Oh I see now. That makes sense!

Sorry Asfa. Glad the cat had a soft landing.

My E mares I set aside the WK3 mares, all other mares have to be up all WK4 and WK7.

As the whole herd improves I will tighten requirements. For now I'm just taking it slow with my stock. This way I can get color in, increase my geldings, etc. It works well enough for me. I already have a few LB mares and potentials gracing my stables now.

He stayed with you for a while and then found good home. That's not bad at all

Just found out that the cat I was forced by my landlord to surrender has already been adopted. I'm happy for him, but there's a crushing sense of finality. As long as he was there, there was a chance I could get him back if I could change my situation. But now he's gone.

How do you manage your E mares?

MC Ace

12:46:00 McFossil

Yep. So if they produce more than one W I know they are special and worth it

Sagruesal

12:44:36 Ru

With E mares they're lucky if they can manage one W

MC Ace

12:43:17 McFossil

LOL I'm mean, my freshman only get Elite mares.

Sagruesal

12:40:21 Ru

If he can't produce a W with 5 W mares, he's out, that's pretty simple

MC Ace

12:39:43 McFossil

That's good. I used to be able to tell with just a few mares if a stallion was worth the 10 to see if he would make the LB.

Sagruesal

12:36:14 Ru

Got him like 5, that should be enough. Gonna save like 300k for top stalions

MC Ace

12:34:27 McFossil

Can't blame you there, I'd go ahead and test him. Definitely get him some W mares. His dam did good I would take her to the top of the LB.

Sagruesal

12:31:14 Ru

Still amazed at how cheap WBs are. I'm used to 20k+ mares and not a lot of them, it's like Christmas on WBs side, 10k per mare. Here went my profit haha

Sagruesal

12:26:09 Ru

I don't want to geld him, he's my firstborn so will stay

Sagruesal

12:25:42 Ru

Ace
But his production may be shaky. I'm buying W mares to speed up the progress though

MC Ace

12:24:54 McFossil

Well the question really is how many W's will he produce.

Sagruesal

12:23:55 Ru

Ace
I know he'll land a place on WBLB, that's for sure

are these birdcatcher spots? If so, why is it not showing up in the genetics report. I also have this problem with another horse with bend or spots.

Birdcatcher is a random pattern. This horse must just have a "birdcatcher looking" snowflake pattern. Your other horse has bircatcher spots though.

A really easy way to tell the difference is the fact that Snowflake Appaloosas will always have their colour listed in their colour. That first horse's colour is "Sable Creme Dun Tobiano Splash White Sabino Snowflake Appaloosa." That automatically indicates that the horse is Snowflake, and not Birdcatcher. The second horse's colour is listed as "Silver Sable Champagne Tobiano Brindle," so no mention of Snowflake in sight.
