Most people choose to keep a line "in house" when they want to maintain its rarity and (hopefully) value. For me, whenever I spend a good amount of RL money GMTing a horse, I normally keep the line in house. "In house" also means different things to different players or in different situations. For example, there are certain players who I will share some of my prized lines with on the condition that they keep the line in house. What that means is that they agree not to sell that horse or its straws/eggs/foals to anyone. If you're ever confused about how someone is using the term, it's a good idea to ask. Most players on HJ2 are very nice and will be happy to answer!

Now on to the bragging =P I have a few in house lines.

This stud has S+ (dapple like shading) and one copy of GP (makes a gray tail when homozygous, with only one copy makes buckskins have highlights in mane and tail). He was expensive, so I keep him and his descendants in house. I have shared straws on occasion to trusted friends. You'll notice he has a lot of foals, but only a small fraction of them are intact. By keeping him in house, I hope to keep the number of intact foals down so that the line stays desirable and high quality.
The newest colt from his line is this boy:

I'm very happy with him :)

I also keep these boys and their descendants in house:

Gwynbleidd is homozygous GP.

Breve has 1 copy of DP (makes SstySsty horses darker) and 1 copy of S+.

These are a few of my in house only horses. I will and have sold or given away a lot of these kids but with very strict conditions on their use for breeding and sale.

Starry Knights is homozygous for Nexus, which produces the starry patterns on his coat. He is a smoky black underneath those stars, but on bays and chestnuts the homozygous Nexus colors can be blues and purples and amazing.

New Fallen Snow is homozygous for Ice 8. Different versions of Ice come up for sale at Christmas time and this was the 2015/2016 version.

Beorn the Bold is homozygous DP brown with Sabino 3. Sabino 1 is a gene that occurs naturally in the game quite rarely, but you have to buy Sabino 3 in the GMT lab. Beorn is not In House Only for me, just wanted to throw him up since Fj threw up some of her drafts!

In house means only in house. As soon as you sell even a single straw/foal etc it's no longer in house. Never sell breedings or foals from horses if you care if they have thousands of decedents. Once a line is in the hand of another breeder that's it you have no control anymore, nor should you expect to have any control/rights over the sold horses or their descendants.

Wow. Everything was just stunning. I get what in house is. I'm hoping soon to have GP line of my own. I loved that starry look.
