I'm not too sure how high you can push these boy's bone weights. I bred mine to a draft and got a warmblood with a bone over 2, but that was a big boned draft whereas your girls were warmbloods.

Please keep in mind that for lined horses you can only gmt on whatever the parents have. So for the Dance Freaky Stud you could gmt him hom dp and remove the champagne, but you can't make him hom pearl as mum didn't have a copy.

For SMTM he basically got everything from his mum and dad that he could, so if you gmt him you'd have to remove stuff.

You can only GMT lined horses to things that they could have inherited from their parents. Because of this, you are unlikely to be able to make either one into a draft since Dance Between Two Oceans is a riding horse and the dams are warmblood and riding horse. Even if one had a draft for a dam, the heaviest you could likely get is warmblood. You also will not be able to add another pearl to either one since neither mare has it. Sorry.

You could probably increase the bone on them, but not all the way to draft, if you click on that GMT it will tell you what bone weights are possible and you can see how much heavier you can get. I got a heavy foal from DBTO but I bred to a cob. Your colts are both only C papered too so if you are going to spend all that money doing some gmt work, maybe a boost to B paper too?

Just had a look DBTO had 3 heavy foals (but to heavy mares), but quite a few more very close to heavy boned

You can't take off the frame of the second horse, as mum is a non-gmted Freaky Friday. Which means she's hom frame and all of her foals will be het for it.

Dang, really? If it wasnt already obvious im not that inclined when it comes to things like this, so thanks for pointing it out guys. Im still learning :)

@Cheers thats a really good idea! I just might change the second colt to a female then, and they'll both become a breeding pair.
