Just make sure the parents have what you want to gmt on to the foal

If you’re picking lined foals, you only want to modify your very best foals that missed a gene. So, if you’re modifying gen 2 foals, you want to modify your Blues or As (for example). I tend to be more willing to modify the genes of colts than fillies, since I get more “bang for my buck”. I also am quite likely to make inconsistent foals consistent (again, especially those really good foals I don’t want to snip or sell for being inconsistent) or to make colts who compare where I want them but are excess for that line into fillies.

So how does splash3, kitm, other rare genes get started ?

Most of the rare genes get started by adding them to a foundation horse. So, if you take this foundation guy of mine for example:


Day of the Moon ExP DPKPY

You can see by the tattoos on his page all of the work that I did with him to make him a Hom KP Hom S+ Chocolate Palomino with Kit M and Tobiano.

By foal I was meaning "lined" foal. You can add any genes onto a foundation that you want, so long as you have the gmt tokens for it and that they're gmtable (4 years or younger, no living offspring).
