I think he's gorgeous as he is. :D

No one can tell you what the "right" answer is for your stable. You have to make that decision for yourself. What I can do is give you a list of questions to help you make the choice on your own. Start by taking a look at your other horses.

Do you already have Red papered foundation mares with heterozygous GP or KP?

Are you concerned about having frame in the line so that succeeding generations might increase the chances having stallions and mares you'd like to breed who both carry it and so risk a dead foal?

Do you have a lot of mares that can pass on one or more Kit mutations? This could make you lean toward adding KP, since it needs two Kit mutations to activate it, as well as needing to be homozygous itself.

Do you have a lot of bay mares already? This might be an encouragement to go with GP, since that needs a bay horse to be visible when homozygous.

I hope these "prompts" will be helpful.

Nice! You should get some lovely foals.
