Leopard Horse, I do have a question.
Should we bother training these spotted horses as we work toward making them purebred Tb?

I don't think we do, as long as we start with decent stock, decent stat, it will only take two, maybe three generations to make them purebred again.

Anyway, I finally got her to throw her pattern, it's not a great coverage, but the filly will be carrying the same pattern genes of her mother. So it's a start.

Oh, and also, how should we decide to name these horses that are born under the club?
We could give them a club breeder mark... rather a club mark.
Or we could choose a subject to name them after, like my heavy arabian stock is named after constellations.
So I'm leaving her right now unnamed.

And we'll have to open our registry of the horses. I can do that if you don't want to. I think that we should keep that rather slim, only the club members with horses born under the club registry will be able to update a single post of their horses... or, it could just be you and I that do it, so then it would only be two posts in there. However, we get a lot of people joining the club, that might get a bit time-consuming for us.

Anyway.

Here she is:

I don't think that we should bother training them while they progress to purebred Tb, But we could train the ones who we think have potential. I think that we could give them the clubs mark, so we know what horses we want to use for the project. Could you open the registry, if you don't mind. And yes with only the club members with horses born under the club registry will be able to update a single post of their horses, I think that is a good idea. But it will be time consuming for us to do it, so I think the members should do it. Or if they need help, we could help them out if needed.

I like the foal, cute, not a ton of coverage as you said, but she should work! :D

If you want her for your side of the project, I can put her up. If not, I'll age her up and choose a stallion for her match. Maybe it might be better to breed her to a half-sibling instead, to help set that pattern. But I can decide later.

I just got this little filly. She rates a 3 for TB.

I also got this colt, he rates N/A, but the pattern sticks.

Those are both great full patterns! Don't forget that red-based patterns will automatically cover more of the body than black-based bodies (black & agouti).

We'll also need to discuss club-member perks.
We're not yet ready to give or stud any of the patterned tb's... but I do think that should be one of the main perks. A free, purebred patterned tb horse for joining.

Also, that's one LONG branding... I think we should consider something shorter or even a stamp of some sort. SRTbBC, but if you're already attached to it, I can be fine with it. :mrgreen:

And, the registry is started:
