Anything brown. Homozygous recessive agouti (aa). I like Sabino and Rabicano....but at the moment I'm culling rather than creating foundation mares, so I'm not using many HHs. I do try to post cool ones when I get them, though, especially anything that isn't a Rank 1.

Hilariously; I posted this ^, then went to check my HH, and what do I have? Great Show Horses!! ROFL!

My favourites are rank 1s dark chestnut and dark flaxen chestnut. Also brown, and palomino, and some pattern, but nothing with w1 or w2

That's good to know :-) I am also glad to hear the great show horses are not showing as well for others. Mine haven't been showing well.

I like brown, dark chestnuts, and recessive bay (aa). I used to look out for silver, but I have enough. :) I'm especially looking out for splash, but usually without dilutes, and hopefully black based. Sabino is also cool, but it's so rare that I don't think I have any yet. :P

Even if a gene doesn't seem interesting, or is one you avoid for lethal combinations or too much dilution or white factor, keep in mind that new players are joining every day, and want to experiment. One of the first horses I ever created was a White 1 Black stud, who blew my mind the second he showed up. He had a low enough WF that I could still see the edge of his markings, of course. Later I happened to compared him to a Rank Special stud, and he fell short, so I snipped him. I don't breed a lot of whites now, but I still think they're pretty cool.
The point is, I never would have found the gene without someone posting an HH for it. :)

Browns, Buckskins, Dark Chestnuts, W2 Frame, and Splash. But, I will post any HH when it is the off breeding season for foals. During breeding season, I am usually too busy to even check my daily HH.

Brown, Splash, and Sabino!
