I would expect her to have some significant added value especially for newer liver breeders.

Many players are more up-to-date than I on available testing in real life. But Agouti in other species is pretty well researched and is fairly stable across species. I don't believe there's much reason to think it's hugely different in horses.

Just because they haven't found the allele in a reliable test, does not mean the allele doesn't exist. Pearl was only recently discovered, even though it's been around for hundreds or thousands of years. :)

She'd likely sell for a good price, but she also would likely be valuable to you as a breeder if you're starting out with livers.

I am just starting out so I'm thinking she would be worth more to keep while I wait for my liver and chocolate foals to become breedable. Especially being an ExPerf if I'm more likely to get intact foals from her.

It's not that you're more likely to get intact foals - that's still a roll of the dice. But as an ExPerf foundation, she's equivalent to a B papered 2nd generation mare. So a bit of a jumpstart in quality.

And if I wanted to breed even, I should breed her to B studs, or will A be alright as well?

It depends what you mean by "even". Matching the papers will ensure more intact offspring, although breeding to a higher paper level could end with foals that are of a much higher quality than the mare could normally produce, although the foal may be altered by BA, depending on how high the sire is.

So I could breed her to an A stud and still have a chance at an intact foal that will be quite high quality?

ObsidianKitsune · May 9, 2018 2:40 AM

She is an Experf, so a low red. There is an incredibly low chance of their foal passing and I personally wouldn't risk it, unless you rely on breeding inspection over BA. However if you breed her to other Experfs, expros, or even C boys you have the chance of getting A/blue babies out of the cross. More likely with the Experf and Expros which would be the same paper level as her.
