    Out of 30 foals sired by my star-papered stallion, only one little filly made the BA cut :( But she's a cute one!

    wow, passing BA out of a red mare is quite a feat! She is definitely cute!

    To get more foals to pass BA, try breeding equivalent paper levels together (star to gold, A to blue, B to red, and C to yellow).

    BUT, what you are doing by breeding unevenly is actually a pretty common breeding strategy called bootstrapping. Basically, you breed lower-papered mares to a higher-papered stallion and DON'T BA the fillies. When they come of age, you breed them back to their sire or another high-papered stallion. After a few cycles of this, you will have foals that will pass BA and be of much higher quality than the original mares you started with. It's a great way to build a show herd!

    If you want to learn more about bootstrapping, there is a Bootstrap Breeding chat you can join. Folks in there are always willing to help get you started and answer questions!

    She’s lovely! I’ve been having the same issue, but I figure that one is better than none :) some seasons I’ll have a single one pass SBA, and some seasons it’ll be 5!
  • RiverMeadows
    @BellaVoce I figure I can get some lovely excellent breeding foals, even if only 1 or 2 per season, but I will get a TON of wonderful show foals. And I will of course keep the foals with my favorite genes intact.

    @RiverMeadows, your foal is a great-grandfoal of my bootstrap line. I own NaF Why Not and sold his son (the Red mare's sire). She is probably a very high Red just under Blue range. If you're looking for some Bootstrap mares I'm looking to cull my Blue and some older low Gold mares.
  • RiverMeadows
    @NowandForever I'd be interested if you wouldn't mind!
  • NowandForever
    These are the older Blue girls, I still have to go through my Golds (pasture sorting nightmare). https://hj2.huntandjump.com/member.php?uid=41721&b_id=24416
    Are there any genes that you prefer or dislike? My boostraps are all open genes but I do have quite a bit of Satin and Sabino 2 with high white factors (not as much in the oldest mares).
    I also have a ton of Star stallions many that have passed BA if you're interested in them (as studs or show ponies). https://hj2.huntandjump.com/member.php?uid=41721&b_id=26180 Any of them over age 4 can be sold.
  • RiverMeadows
    @NowandForever Ohh man, you have so many pearls and sooty+! I'm horrible at pricing, so how much are you looking for them?
  • NowandForever
    5k a mare for anyone age 11 or younger, 2.5k for the older girls. For the boys it would depend on their bloodline but most between 5-10k (unless they have a much higher lifetime payout). If you want to PM me with any that you're interested in I can quote you a price better. I haven't gotten around to sorting the Gold girls yet but they would probably be 5k also.

Golden Tokens have been renamed Diamond Tokens to prevent mixing them up with GMTs.

Double boosted over cap horses are now designated as ****Star or ****Gold, again to prevent further member confusion issues I have been seeing.
