I don't know about you, but I had a lot of fun breeding my futurity foals this month. I really liked having the opportunity to breed to some stallions that I wouldn't normally have had the opportunity to use.

That being said, it was also very expensive breeding so many straw foals vs. the live cover I am used to. I want to be a little more selective, and also broaden my variety in my swaps for March.

I am offering 5 straw for 5 straw swaps seeking March babies. I will only take 10 straws total for each era. However, I am willing to give straws from any of my March futurity stallions in exchange. So if you want to swap Era 0 straws for Era 4 straws that is fine with me. I can guarantee that I will be futurity locking all of my babies.

I'm looking for straws from Warmbloods or tall (14.0+) Sport Ponies. My preference is also going to lean towards studs that have one or more of the following:
Dun, nd1, DFP1
Rabicano
Roan
Sabino
Pearl
Tobiano (Especially if they have shatter glass or jewel box)
Sooty+

My available slots:
Era 0 5 straws: Filled - Viajoy
Era 0 5 straws: Filled - morningice
Era 1 5 straws: Filled - LookingGood
Era 1 5 straws: Filled - AzilizM
Era 2 5 straws: Filled - AzilizM
Era 2 5 straws: Open
Era 3 5 straws: Open
Era 3 5 straws: Open
Era 4 5 straws: Filled - SummerMonarch
Era 4 5 straws: Filled - Abhean

Stallions I am offering for swap options:

Era 4:

RAM Pomegranate Cure
Sabino 2 and Kit Promoter

Era 3: (Note: Wicked Remedy is 2 years old currently so his straws would be sent out March 1st)

RAM Wicked Remedy
Sabino 2 and Kit Promoter

Era 2:

RAM Hoot Owl
Sabino 2 and Sooty+

Era 1:

RAM Italian Man
Pearl, Sooty+, Satin, White 8, Gulastra Plume and Kit Promoter

Era 0:

RAM Ghost Cat
White 3 and Gulastra Plume

BONUS: I am planning to do my raffle prizes again next month. So swappers will have a chance at a raffle prize as well!

If interested in swapping, please post your stallion you are offering and which of my stallions you would like to swap for. As I said, I am going to be a little more picky this month. I may pass on some offerings if they don't quite fit my breeding goals. Please do not be offended!

5 straws, era 4, 5554

Equatorial Escape G2MX

Walywoohoo · Feb 15, 2023 12:59 PM

Great idea! I probably won't have anything you'd be interested in (riding pony focus) but in case... Are you looking for foundation, bootstrap, even bred... Or all of the above?

RamshornRanch · Feb 15, 2023 3:35 PM

@SummerMonarch, I would be good with swapping for Equatorial Escape straws. Which of my stallions would you want me to send you 5 straws from?

@Walywoohoo, I am not picky about whether they are even bred or not. I don't do much bootstrapping, so I could make the most use of stallions that paper between C-A with the mares that I have now. I won't discount looking at *star stallions though, as I wouldn't be opposed to some boot strapped showing only foals.
Right now my focus is on warmbloods that meet certain color and quality criteria. So if you have warmbloods or tall sport ponies with some of the genes I am interested in, I can likely find mares I would be happy matching them with.

SummerMonarch · Feb 15, 2023 4:27 PM

Era 4. I’ll pay market price for 6 additional straws so I can be picky.

Walywoohoo · Feb 16, 2023 6:26 AM

Era 0 *star Wb, 5% boosted and he's got a nice pile of ribbons ;) Gene Testing Results
e/e A*/a -/Ch Sty/Sty f/f -/DP p/p PATN1/- and ice 8 (no license)

Loveseat LaZboots
Era 0 *star, riding horse with almost warmblood bone, dun and dfp1

Boots DFP1 741829
Era 0 Wb, A papers, dun, S+, M and KP

Dun Been Ultra Boots
Era 0 *star stallion; he's only got S+ from your gene list, but he is hom kit and KP. "light" bone, 1.14, so would produce WB foals.

Kit N Kabootle

RamshornRanch · Feb 16, 2023 9:23 AM

@SummerMonarch, I sent over 5 straws from Pomegranate Cure for the swap + 6 extra at regular price to do what you'd like with.

@Unbridled, he is lovely but I don't have an Ice16 license so I will need to pass on Twice the Sin. If you are wanting straws for one of my stallions though I am happy to send some over. The full price listed on their page is for breeding however you would like. If you're intending to use them for futurity foals I can send them at 1/2 price.

@Viajoy, yes to Vibrant Downfall. I have sent over 5 straws from Hoot Owl.

SummerMonarch · Feb 16, 2023 9:35 AM

@LG — I want in on Fancy ID Needed. I’ll swap with my above stallion - Escape for 5 trade/locked and buy 6 at market price. 5554

@Ramshorn - Cure is exactly what I’m breeding for with bonus KP. I’ll be here every year and will be very interested straws when Cure’s best colt comes of age. You’ve got good taste. ;)

RamshornRanch · Feb 16, 2023 9:36 AM

@LookingGood, I can do 5 straws from Hoot Owl for 5 straws from Fancy. I'll have those sent over shortly. I love Remarkable Merlin, but I don't have a DFP2 license. I have been contemplating purchasing a license only for DFP2 though, so if I end up doing that I will be sending you a PM.

@morningice, Peanut Brindle would be perfect for my dun rabicano line. https://mesa.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=948757. Which stallion would you want to swap for?

@Walywoohoo, I'm not quite sure any of your options fit what I am looking for 100%. So I don't think I'll swap straight across for any of them. If you are wanting straws for one of my stallions though I am happy to send some over. The full price listed on their page is for breeding however you would like. If you're intending to use them for futurity foals I can send them at 1/2 price.

RamshornRanch · Feb 16, 2023 9:43 AM

@SummerMonarch, thank you for the compliments! I just love Sabino 2, so I just had to make sure I fancied up my Pomegranate from the Christmas season. I do have one B papered son that will be 3 in March that will be available live cover and for straws. https://mesa.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=1811641 I've got another son that will be 3 in April that I shouldn't have kept also since they are AGA each other, but I was a sucker. https://mesa.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=1898700 so you'll have some options.

Walywoohoo · Feb 16, 2023 11:12 AM

No worries! I figured from the start that I didn't really have an exact fit ;)

Viajoy · Feb 16, 2023 11:32 AM

Thanks Ramshorn!

RamshornRanch · Feb 20, 2023 8:44 AM

@LookingGood, I tried to PM you but am having troubles. I’m still waiting on 5 straws from this guy for our swap. I sent mine over for 1 HB.

RamshornRanch · Feb 20, 2023 8:45 AM

I’m still looking for swap offers if anyone is interested.

morningice · Feb 20, 2023 5:10 PM

@RamshornSportHorses sent! You can choose who you want to send my way. :)

LookingGood · Feb 20, 2023 8:09 PM

@RamshornSportHorses, I just checked and he's 2. I'm breeding all straws this month :) I'll message you

RamshornRanch · Feb 21, 2023 9:11 AM

@morningice, your straws are sent as well. Thanks!

Viajoy · Feb 24, 2023 8:06 AM

@Ramshorn When do you want me to use his straws? Getting Breeding plans around. Im guessing lock as well?

RamshornRanch · Feb 24, 2023 8:17 AM

@Viajoy,
March would be preferred. Locked if you can afford to keep them around.

I'm not going to be a stickler at all thought about keeping track and hunting people down though. Just trying to get these guys out there. :)

Viajoy · Feb 24, 2023 9:11 AM

Sounds good. Ill make sure to lock for you!

Viajoy · Mar 2, 2023 6:06 AM

Heres my babies from Hoot Owl. One stallion passed SBA and is superior to him!

RamshornRanch · Mar 2, 2023 9:05 AM

@Viajoy, Rootbeer is gorgeous! Congratulations on the A papered colt as well. He has been stinky about giving me one.

Viajoy · Mar 2, 2023 12:16 PM

If you would like straws from the little man when he gets older feel free to let me know. He probably will stick around.

RamshornRanch · Mar 2, 2023 12:19 PM
