I have this guy I love but I know I won't use:-

I would like to try my hand at this "bootstrapping" method so if this is not something you want your boys to be a part of, I understand if you withdraw your stallions.

I have more aga boys than I can use from my bootstrap line. Let me know if you are interested.

@Wildland Acres - if they are star, Dark in color, and warm blood, yes I would. Show me who is available and give me a price.

I'll be back later - we have a decent day here and I need to get out for a ride!

@DoubleMash2 When you bootstrap I highly recommend not BA the fillies, only the colts. Only BA the fillies once you are getting colts passing SBA. Most times in the earlier stages of bootstrapping you need to wait for later generations before you can BA fillies, otherwise you will wind up with all altered foals.

If your bootstraping don't use BA or SBA on the foals. The likelihood of them passing either is very slim. That's why they make such great show horses. I would breed the mares then when the first crop of foals comes of age alter all the foundation mares and start breeding the first group of gen2 to star sir. Again don't test those foals. when the first group of 3gens comes of age then you can test all the 2gen mares you have been using, wont matter if they all get altered or not because you have already bred to them, and repeat. To keep it short don't test your mares until you have a foal crop from them that is ready to breed.

On the plus side, you have lots of new show ponies
