Fantastic pedigree!

So pretty! Can I ask what your quality control looks like? I’m still figuring out how to be stricter so I don’t have so many stallions! :))

Thank you everyone! :x

@lingonberry121391 So I always start with A papered foundation studs which is definitely expensive but recently I have moved away from foundations to work on my lined horses more. All of my offspring from generations 2-7 MUST pass Strict Breeding Advice (Premium Upgrade feature). I always use pastures unless I have a few special mares I want multiple offspring from or want to save eggs from for the future. By 3rd gen everything that stays intact MUST be homozygous Mushroom as that is the main gene of my lines. Ideally everything is consistent but I have been a bit too lenient recently and have let inconsistency stay intact. Once I have culled based on SBA and genetics, I comparison test EVERYTHING that is still intact. Foals must be superior to their respective parent to stay as a breeder. If they test AGA, they get snipped. With the addition of Max Out Ability, I do tend to max out my favorite colts from the season and then snip all the others. I definitely find myself with a surplus of colts on all servers haha. I haven't quite figured out the best way to cull by AFPT yet but I am hoping to get a good system for that so that I can decrease my earlier generation numbers a bit more. Once I get the the higher gens (7+), I start breaking out the 5% boost tokens which, again, is very expensive, but in my opinion, worth it :x I don't allow myself to keep the "pretty ones" intact simply because they are pretty. I either max them out so they pass my criteria or they get the snip.

I've always loved your lines Ash! (and the friendly mushroom/satin LB competition ;) ) Your gen 8 quality is what I'm getting at 11 so even more impressive! I only just started using max outs and boosts so hopefully I can get down to your level in earlier gens. Thanks for sharing :x

He is so beautiful!
