I could totally help out with your tattoos, but I am not good at making banners lol!

For reference:

I play on my android phone, so I use an app called "pixel studio". Its extremely simple- you just type in the dimensions (which, in this game, a tattoo needs to be 25 pixels by 25 pixels) and when you're done, click "save as PNG".

(This is also apparently available on the apple store! Its also completely free :D)

You guys are all awesome! I messaged sandycreek stables about helping me with this stuff! Do you guys breed for color or paper status? I've been having a hard time with the breeding. I haven't had any colts pass the comparison testing. I've had one be "as good as" but I haven't had any be better! Its so frustrating. I've went through my stable and put a bunch of horses into the auction in hopes of being able to sell them and get a new fresh set of bloodlines going in the stables. I love my studs more than anything, so any advice would be really awesome!

I breed for evenly lined Grullos with white patterns except roan or appy on each server. Then I have one fantasy gene and one regular special gene that I track and try to breed together for homo horses. Hj1 - Axiom/nexus and KP, Hj2 - Ice and satin.

The axiom is a recent addition. This will be my first 3rd Gen group so it’s working up from the ground while my nexus was given to me as straws and is interspersed through the higher levels with a bit in the 2nd and 3rd gens

My show horses are awesome on both sides so I have a barn for each generation. After I’m done culling my intact horses from inconsistent or wrong colour I add their generational prefix and sort them into their barns. Then I snip anything but the top 2 paper levels. Once the top paper level starts to be the majority I start to cull any new 2nd lower paper level in that barn and let the older girls age out unless I’m not overly attached to them then snip them then.

This organization works for me so I can keep an eye that my lines quality is progressing and I don’t get a 6th Gen blue with 3 gens of yellow paper mares behind it.

I did a massive reorganization and cull on both servers last December and again last month. I organized my pastures in my hj1 account in the spring matching generations and paper level and My numbers of intacts have exploded (even after culling for inconsistent or non grullos). Over the last year.

In September I ended up narrowing my requirements even further for my studs to reduce numbers as I had way too many superior to sire. I reorganized my pastures again to fit all my new mares in and ended up changing the pastures to generation and kp or nexus so I do have 2 paper levels in quite a few of the lower level generation pastures and then my 4+ gens all fit into one 30 acre pasture each so haven’t been split yet. Otherwise I’d need a whole lot more pastures if I was going to split into 4-5 pastures per generation.

Looking at my 3year olds I think I may need to reorganize the pastures again or start to cull my mares by AFPT to keep at no more than 3 pastures per generation.

On this side though I only have the one pasture so have been attempting to rotate through my mares but the growth has not been as good as hj1 as I was busy this summer and missed breeding my lined horses a few times and some of my foundations weren’t rotated equally.

I find it interesting to see as both accounts started January with roughly the same number in each generation and I topped up each foundation levels to around 200-300. I feel like my second Gen has grown some but I’m still feel like I’m not replacing my lined horses faster than they’re aging out.

Long story short. Matching generations and papers in pastures with full bonuses will help you get way more intact superior horses easier than hand breeding or smaller bonuses
