I'm sure ya'll are tired of my Secret Agent but I''m super excited about him. :D I thought I finally finally got him done and then I noticed his white factor is None. :O

I will have enough hbs after the auction to buy one more GMT. So what should his white factor be to make sure that his foals have as much color as possible? I'll mostly be breeding him to solid colored mares. I'd like the foals to have more than a tiny appy spot on their rump. Secret is my first W8 foundation so Not sure how that is going to affect the white on the babies. He doesnt have w20 but some of the mares do. I dont want all solid white babies either lol. So do you think that I should do Medium? I think he looks fabulous as he is and doesnt need more white. Decisions. Decisions..

Just remember that WF generally increases through generations so if you increase his to medium, the foals are more likely to have more than that. :) at least that's my understanding of white factor

I wouldn't increase the WF! He's pretty white already, and I'd hate to see him white out before his time! Plus, like you said, you have mares with W20 that will throw flashier foals, and the babies of the ones that don't will just look more like their sire :)

Thanks guys. I reckon, I'll leave him as is. Time to put him in the pasture and see what happens. :D

I really like this girl. She is inconsis. So I was going to spay but then I decided to test her through SBA and she passed. So I tested and out of all of them she's my only blue so reckon I'll keep her.
