As my signature says, on this server I breed for silver blacks, with the occasional brown and some fantasy genes. I always breed for progression in breeding ability at every generation, but of course it's early yet and I won't start comparing fillies to their dams for a few years until I get a good bonus every night. I haven't bred any of the second generation yet either, so here's hoping my pastures don't run out of room too soon.

I breed mostly silvers, but it's not a specific colour program, i breed all colours really! With quite a few fantasy genes thrown in. I breed even generations and there has to be quality progression for each generation. I manage this mostly through the stallions as their foals much worse than them will get altered anyway once they are put through SBA.

My main lines are Chinchilla, Mushroom, and what i call Stained Glass (Ice 10/Wrong Warp also with a bit of thunderstruck). All my main foundation breeders are A/Blue papered and my requirements for intact foals are VERY strict.

My chinchilla line includes a bunch of extra fantasy/closed gene goodies as well as other open genes like Satin. I am also gonna introduce Nexus into my chinchilla line. These are my Chinchilla foundations:

B1 Chn Splatter Party

MEF 1G Oil Slick

BOOST GMT Strawberry Wine

My mushroom line i am keeping very simple gene wise. DP, Satin, and Kit M are basically all i have in it. No fantasy genes so i can compete on the leaderboards. These are my foundations:

B1 Mu God Syndrome

MEF 1G First Lady

Here is my "Stained Glass" foundation boy. I would love to make a second stud but that's gonna be too expensive right now considering my current project. This guy also has a few other goodies as well:

B1 SG ContainmentBreach

And lastly, this guy is a conglomeration of basically as many genes as i can fit onto one horse lol He, and the two i have just like him on the other servers, are my largest projects to date, and they are all happening at the same time :)) He isn't even done yet!

GMT Diamond Age

I have 3 lines each with the ultimate goal of producing true breeding chunky cobs (homozygous for every gene that line carries) while also focusing on breeding and showing quality. I have a ton of fantasy lines over on the green server so wanted to keep things relatively simple over here.

The Dr Suess Project which are boosted chocolate buckskins/dunskins with sabino 1, gulastra plume, kit promoter, and DP.
The Cat in the Hat
Hop on Pop
Fox in Socks

The Fungi Project which are red based flaxen mushrooms with DP, satin, KP2, and w8.
The Mushroom King
The Mushroom Queen

The Celestial Project- exact details still getting worked on but will be an all dilution line (silver, dun, champagne, pearl, cream) with satin, sabino 2, and boosts for sure.
Celestial founder stud
Celestial founder mare

With each line and every generation, all foals must be superior and paper better to their sire/dam to remain intact after going through SBA. I then look at their genetics- my foundations are usually homozygous for the desired genes so I don't look at the 2nd generations as much as long as they paper/test superior. 3rd generation and above must catch at least 2 different heterozygous genes or be homozygous for a set to remain intact. I don't even open pages until I have done all the testing otherwise I'd be tempted to keep all the pretty ones that didn't pass muster :))

I have several pastures with only red papered foundation mares that had to meet certain criteria so they best compliment the stud they are matched with (i.e. red based mares only for King, bay and black based mares for Hat, and so on). They stay in there full time for maximum pasture bonus.

Good luck with deciding your breeding goals!
