Alrightie, I was just wondering because i went looking through my studs from last breeding season and they all have Satin genes

I’m always on the lookout for blue/gold papered bootstrapping mares with satin and a combination of other genes I run in my bootstrap herd (S+, sabino 2, KitM, w8, splash m, nexus, open ice). So I am willing to pay well for what I find that’s available. However, as it was pointed out, there is almost always someone culling from their herds with plenty that meets requests. I would say you would probably have better luck with second and third gen, even bred, quality satin horses if you are really aiming to “fill a niche” in the market. Since satin is a homozygous recessive gene, it’s harder to get those second gen homozygous horses since satin is pretty expensive to put on foundies.
