Bootstraping - What/Where/How/Why?
  • I'm considering taking on a bootstrapping line to get my lines started. I've got my solid lines, but I eventually want my horses throwing horses that will stay intact or at least a higher number my intact to show pony ratio is nasty.

    So I bootstrap my fillies to my BS stallion (i have brought 1 that comes of age next month and 1 that will come in before my fillies) I don't test my horses until they throw a foal, then I can test them correct? and hopefully this time next year I will be throwing intact foals everywhere.

  • Everyone has different ways.

    Personally I throw my fillies to my stallions, and keep all the mares and run all colts through breeding advice. I paper everyone though, and gene test them before turning testing off. Any mare that papers lower than mom is also gelded as I want them to get better, not worse! I also spay any inconsistent horses.

    I've had a few *golds and *stars by 3/4g of bootstrapping :)

  • Yes, im currently doing that with my lines now, I've thrown a lot of my horses into auction because they were inconsistent, and anyone that is under 9.5 doesnt get my brand which but im lenient to my mares or stallions whos foals paper very well, so continue to paper them, As I eventually want to have lines people would love to have. I would love intact show ponys that would be great.

  • If I remember correctly bootstrapping is not meant to help you get more intact foals but, instead to help you get higher PT and papered foals faster.

    Boostrapping usually increases the amount of snipped foals especially at first. That is why they reccomendation is to not put your fillies through BA.

    Best ways to increase your chances of intact foals is to breed evenly by generation and/or paper and make use of the pasture bonus.

    Help me build my black brindle army!
    Always looking to buy foundation brindle drafts in black, blue roan, grullo, classic champagne, etc.

    I work a 7day on 7day off schedule and my activity here will reflect that.
    I can be very scatterbrained and forgetful so if I don't get back to you in a decent amount of time just poke me.
  • I'd keep your BS gelds/spays! They will show better than an intact horse so will help boost your money significantly per day! I snip any horse I wouldn't breed, and there's very very few of my horses who I put up for brood. I rarely ever sell or auction any of my snipped horses, and every season I'll only sell off a tiny amount of my breeding stock.

    If it helps, I have 2911 show ponies, to 881 breeding stock which needs a very good cull, it should be around the 500 mark.

  • The shortcut I took to maximize my showing bonus in the shortest amount of time was to auction all foals that didn't meet my breeding standards and used the money to buy young, high-pointed creates at auction. Foals take up a stall space that could be occupied by a horse already generating 40+hbs a day when foals take a literal year to do that. Using primarily this method, my daily show bonus is 50k
