Everyone has their own way. I personally just put the gen number in the name--that way I don't have to open every single mare to figure out who she should be bred to or what pasture she should go in. I have a full on color/pattern code that I combine with the gen # to create the suffix at the end of my horses' names, so I know at a glance where they fit in my breeding program. I use tattoos for LE and GMT genes so I can quickly search my herd for those horses, but don't use tattoos to sort mares for breeding. I don't really use tack or backgrounds much at all. I keep having good intentions about doing them for all my stallions but it just hasn't happened!
