JL Golden Fire


Your horse is ready for pickup.
She is trained to 99% plus in all stats.
Training took 2 years, 9.5 months and 4 realtime days.
Her pickup price is unchanged and will be 35,000.

As a note for reminder, she will continue to age.
Also, if she is not picked up within 24 hours, she may be entered into competitions.

Enjoy your trained filly!
THANKS!!!

Dauntless Project


So finally after so much time, I have achieved in breeding mares that cross my minimum Class levels.
Without further ado.

Nightly Resurrection

She's a big chestnut mare, standing 20.2 hands tall. She classes as a BE 3 & EK 2 and she has been offering me acceptable stallions, but no acceptable mares yet. However, I'm hoping that the sons she produces still carry the genes necessary to produce Class-passing broodmares.
She did not inherit her sires roan, Lp or pangare, or her dam's pangare, so she offers an excellent base for the future of the program. She also seems to carry the tendency to throw foals that also do not generally inherit these unwanted traits and generally offers decent report outcomes regardless of the sire she's matched with.

Jeweled Night

This mare is the second mare to pass the minimum acceptable class. She's a matching 20.2 hand mare, sporting a brilliantly dark brown pangare coat. She offers a class of BE 4 & EK 2 and unlike her half sister has offered the third acceptable-class mare.
She has a little weaker constitution than her half sister, Nightly Resurrection, and offers average reports that are much more prone to negative affects from the sire and revealing the negative genes she carries. Because of this, I must limit her to passing on just the genes I want and have matched her up with my strongest classes studs first.

Jewel Encrusted Destiny

Daughter to Jeweled Night, she is the third minimum-class passing mare. She matches her mother and her aunt's height at 20.2 hands and she also inherited her mother's weaker report genes. For the moment and until she offers an understanding on what she produces, she will be bred following her mother's schedule, only the highest class studs will be covering her first.
She sports a black coat and did not inherit her mother's agouti, so her genes for color is an excellent basis for future phases of the project.

With one more acceptable mare, I plan to enact Section 3 of Part 2 of this project which will entail phasing out all of the lower class-acceptable studs.
This will leave only: breeding out Lp and dilutions (I think I only have one cream carrier left), breeding out cutoffs (this may take longer yet), and the biggest change for the project, beginning the shift of height downward toward 15 hands.

Phase 2 still has quite some time left until nearing completion.

Yes, I am still training. Terms and conditions are unchanged as well.
I've been away for awhile, so at the moment (this week, the second week of June), I will not yet be taking any horses, to allow me the opportunity to catch up. However, if you still want training done, let me know and I'll notify you the moment I can start taking horses for training. That can happen as early as the end of this week.

I think this is the first under 11k HGP that doesn't have any positive comments at all. Regardless, it's been quite a long while since I've had one under 11k... I have two at the moment, although the other has a positive trait.

Tolling The Blue Doom

HGP 10962

I like the fact that she only has 4 red comments. It appears to be easy to get red comments, but extremely difficult to get all equally negative comments alongside a lot of red. She is certainly the lowest HGP I've yet bred with the least amount of red.

However, achieving a promising offspring has in the past offered much less actual progress than first assumptions offer. She'll need to prove her genetics are more than just nice to look at on paper.

Dauntless Project


New mare additions must be added to the project. Because of these unusual energy horses and my attempt to breed these out (I do believe that they are genetically linked somehow, since they run in lines and don't always show up, but certainly show up again if produced by a mare or stallion).
I think that I may loose this first Dauntless bloodline because of these energy horses. I actually may not be able to produce an easy keeper, big eater line until the energy horses has been figured out.

However, all of this being said, new blood is expected to be injected into these lines regularly anyway. I just haven't achieved the place I wanted within this project before I wanted to add new blood.

Please meet the three new mares:

Iron Limited

She comes to us with one previous foal on the ground. She is a purebred Suffolk Punch that classes as a solid BE 2 & EK 1. She's on the smaller side, which is just fine, coming in at 16.1 hh but still is a massive eater with a max feed at 20.2 kg. This is potentially extremely excellent genetics for this project if I can preserve this original line.

Thunder Greeting

This mare is a cousin to the above mare, offering similar genetics as well as being a purebred Suffolk Punch and also having one other foal on the ground. She is just taller, standing at 16.2 hh and comes in just a bit more of a bigger eater at 21.1 kg. Although at the time I didn't realize they were related, I am hoping that such genetics will prove a boon to my project. She too, classes at BE 2 & EK 1.

Crane And Sugar

As an AC Forest mare, she offers pure genes into the project. She, like the other two has one other offspring. She stands shorter than the other two mares at my shortest, new blood cutoff line of 16 hh. However, she is still a big eater at a max feed of 17.4 kg. She is an unknown, but possibly the best of the three because of her AC status. She also classes in as a BE 2 & EK 1, although weaker than the other two mares, this is expected of AC bloodlines.

These three mares could mean the survival of the original Dauntless bloodline, or it could very well reveal that the energy problems cannot be fixed in this line and I'll have to start from scratch. At this point, I could take it or leave it.

Low GP Project
So I have begun a secondary line for this project. Really, it's to introduce pearl (and not cream or champagne), into my line. But I have found, like most who attempt this project, that some of the genes are very stubborn for giving you the appropriate poorness that's looked for.

I have strengths in speed and balance with an aggravating average in agile. It's annoying. However, it's still an ongoing project.

After seeing again some sooty dappled horses that other players have bred, I once again want to introduce this trait into my herd. I scrapped it very early on, not wanting to get into the project and definitely not knowing where I might start, but with some basic information found out by others, I will start from AC stock since I haven't found a suitable horse that's purchasable.

Hi, I don't know if they could be of help to you (they are both at least hetero champagnes):
one mare (if you are willing to try her despite the age) and a stallion - he's for stud;
they should be both double Pearls and have green/golden agil

http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1293933
4* NAB; 46 HGP (<20 Coi)
golden agil

average: str, spd
