Trying to decide if it would be worth boosting this filly to try to get her to blue papered or if I'm better off just to spay for a pretty show pony. I just don't get many pearls that pass BA so will be a bummer if she can't be good enough to keep intact! That or do I keep her for my uneven breeding lines?

For me, I want my 5gs to paper gold, so she would be an automatic spay. Entirely up to you, though.

You could always keep her intact and use her to breed show ponies if you breed her to the nicest Star stud you can find and snip all of the foals. I have a few uneven lined mares (mostly Blues but one or two are Red papered) that I bought for cheap that I do that with.One of them gave me a lovely 12.3 PT spayed filly this year (Doris actually liked her!), so it's a pretty good strategy if you want to breed some nice young show stock.

Awe sorry she didn't paper well she is beautiful! I'm having bad luck with all my pretty pearl Kitm coats too

Thanks! I may keep her intact for now and decide later if I'll end up using her for my uneven show horse line. I get some of my best show horses from my uneven lines

I'd probably use her as a show pony broodmare! Cross her with other pearl boys and you'll have a good shot at always being top rankings in the pearl breeder clubs :)

She's a gen 5 from a boosted line. I would snip. I would also note her father is only AGA his dad and he's from a regular line, not a boosted like her dam. You're highly unlikely to get an intact foal from that pairing. Impeccable King threw at least one gen 4 Star colt for me. You will probably want to look for a gen 4 Star or an A that is AGA Star for that mare.
