Hi, I'm pretty new here! I see so many different combinations of genes which become a good sum of beautiful horses. What are your favorite lines to breed for? Certain dams, sires, height, weight, color, markings, etc? What do you like to breed for? Pictures are certainly welcome!

On this account, i breed non sooty DP bay & chestnut. My goal is minimally marked splash with heavily marked Rabicano, but I'm focussing on building my breeding stock still, so I don't have many lined horses yet.
Here are a few examples.

On my main account, i breed DP with or without sooty/sooty+ in bays and browns. I have various white patterns there, plus pearl, silver and champagne versions of the DP bays/browns.
Here are examples of those.
That account also has macchiato and mushroom, but both are new so I haven't actually started the lines.

My favourite is to breed black chestnuts (hom DP, hom sty), Appaloosas, with snowflake and kp.

Here is my foundation stud who is growing my herd. Most of his foals are only het for the fancy genes but most of his grandbabies are coming out hom.

I absolutely love KitM. I like to mix it was most of the other white patterns, and I love almost any base color, although liver chestnuts, buckskins, and chocolate palominos are my favorites. Here are a few examples:

KA Blue Sunrise 7g

Liver Chestnut KitM with Frame

KA Fateful Encounter UE
Blue Roan KitM with Splash and Frame

KA Afterglow 2g
This guy is a super dark liver chestnut, which I think is stunning, with sabino and frame

KA Guessed It
Lastly, a double sooty buckskin with KitM. I just think the gene looks amazing on any base color

I have a few lines going.

KP
Snowflake
Ice
DP (bred into a combination of genes)
Watercolor
Thunderstruck
KitM (bred into other genes)

ParadisePark · Jun 25, 2018 1:37 AM

Black Pearl Snowflake (With or without KP)
Assorted KP colors
Axiom (Blue and Green)
Nexus
Plaid
Watercolor (Starting to add Kitm and other genes)
Assorted Ice
Random ExPro line, Trying for 3rd and 4th gen star. 3rd will be the hardest!
Cherry Drop (Hom DP Wild Bay)

Then i have just random horses cause that game makes it easy to have a hoarding addiction :P

Most of my lines have DP as well.

I started in Jan and got hooked way too fast lol. I loved so many different colors I had to try em all at first. I wound up with three different basic accounts that all breed for different things. On my main account, the focus is liver and chocolate pali with as many white genes as I can throw on em lol. I have a good mix of appy, Tobi, kitM, ice1&8, splash 1&2, sabino 1&2, even some pearl... just a whole bunch of stuff going on with that wild bunch.

On this account the goal is champagne on a black or bay base with mainly w8 and kitM so far but I'll be adding more white genes as I come across them.

My last account is kitM on silver black and silver grullo.

Hi! Welcome to H&J. It is such great game with even greater people. You can go wrong with what to breed for which is why I breed a little of everything including: appaloosa, liver, silver black, gold champagne, macciato, watercolor/plaid, ice, red dun, buckskin, wild bay, white m, and white 8. Along with a line dedicated to a specific stallion. However to maintain that many lines I have a ton of horses so starting off as a newer player I would try and stick to just a color of lines just to get your feet wet and see what breeding techniques work best for you. :D

My primary goal is cobs right now, the smaller and heavier, the better. ;)

I'm cracking down on a DP classic champagne line, it's still pretty fresh in the making. I very excited for this one!
My inspiration:

BV Thundercall 2DpChO

My goal for my snowflakes is quality, DP, and pearl, like the girl below, but with better papers.

BV The Black Pearl 4hSfhP

I'm slowly working towards producing short, stocky, KP cobs; ideally with DP and/or pearl. Or kit M. Something else that I find fun!

BV Zeus hKp

And now I'm going to produce hom DP, flaxen, pearl mushrooms cobs. :)

BV Royal Tales hDpP

These are the lines I'm most serious about, but I do dabble in hom DP silver bay, watercolor, macchiato, hom axioms, ice 5/8/14, kitm, sooty + with W3, and a few other odds and ends. :)

DevilsParadise · Jun 25, 2018 4:22 AM

I like breeding dark, unevenly colored black based duns with no or little white on them. I particularly enjoy my bootstraps and my offspring of Loki

On this account I do mostly blue roans and buckskin with appy. On my other upgraded account I am starting mushroom and watercolor on chestnut. I've only been here a few months myself, but this group has sucked me right in.
