Hello all, I come here looking for some opinions.
I’m on the quest for my first GMT project, and I narrowed down to one of my mares.
But seeing that I’ve never done this and have really no clue with what would look good, I want your opinions.
What would you add or take off?
Thanks!

I like to add kp and snowflake to my special mares because my main stallion has kp and snowflake but I think that you should add whatever genes you fancy!
This is most likely similar to what your mare would look like with snowflake and kp, if you like the look I’d say go for it but different people have different tastes so you might not like the look or the genes

Oh wow! She is a gorgeous mare. In the end what you add or take up is totally up to you and your taste/preference and what you want to breed for ^^. I personally love pearl, especially with Sabino or KP. Just a reminder to be careful about the W20 your girl has, it looks amazing with some genes but when mixed with others, like W10 for example, the W20 will see the horse turn almost totally white.

I dont own this stallion but this is just to show you what a Blue Roan like your girl looks like with pearl, Sabino, brindle and KP ^^ Pearl on blue roan lightens them up a lot! If you prefer the dark/black look it might not be fore you haha

Thank you all for the suggestions! I added one strand of watercolor to her and will be adding pearl as well.

Seeing that she papered yellow, what paper stallion should I breed her too?
Still learning this haha

@GraveDancers, best results seem to be to pasture her 30 days and pair with equivalent paper so C? :)

If the stud and mare are too far apart then foal won't pass BA/SBA because it could be better than one but worse than other parent.

I absolutely adore watercolor and pearl, the pearl gives it almost a two-tone shimmer. It’s gorgeous. I’ve worked pearl into my watercolors and don’t regret it a bit!

@FallenShadows714 Wow, that 2G boy is absolutely gorgeous :x

You could also pair her with a B-papered foundation stud. It really depends on your preference. Some people breed even by gen, some by even papers, some by both, and others don't give a wild hootenanny! I personally pair Yellow mares to B studs all the time. Your foals might be slightly less likely to pass testing, but not a huge difference in my experience.

And @FallenShadows714 that stud is gorgeous!

That's good to know, Thanks!!
Okay can someone tell me if my mare is hom or het for pearl?
Confused haha

kintara · Jun 15, 2019 4:42 AM

She looks lovely in blue! She's het for pearl, so one pearl gene, the one you added. Hom for pearl would be two pearl genes. I'd breed her to C or B papered foundation stallions, but of course you can breed her to whoever you feel like!
