I’m absolutely a sucker for chocolates lol. But would love a hom DP foundation... I just don’t think I’ll ever be able to buy so many GMT tokens! I could maybe save up this month to make him a chocolate palomino roan dun eventually. Surely 3 GMTs is achievable, it’s just a shame I won’t be able to breed him until I’m happy with him. Patience isn’t my strong suit :))

Pros and cons of each, from what I can see:

Colt
Pros:
Experf
No frame

Cons:
Experf
Het dp

Filly
Pros:
PF
Hom dp

Cons:
PF
Frame
Filly

I put the papering as both pro and con for each because each one has it’s own cost/benefit. A C papered foundie is easier to pair with other foundation mares. A B papered is better matched with only experf/expros. On the other hand, you get higher quality foals out of the experf/expro matches, and you have a chance at a A/blue 2G. It’s up to you which you prefer.

As for the other things, well, you’ve got het dp otherwise fine on one side, and you’ve got a hom dp filly with frame on the other side.

Costs:

Colt
Gmt on dp: 10

Total: 10


Filly
Gmt off frame: 1 or 2 (I’d do both but you don’t have to do any if you’re matching with plain mares, though you’d need to make sure you had a different colt for 2G if all the foals have het frame)
Gmt gender: 2

Total: 4


That would make them both equal horses, aside from papering.

Now, the question is whether you want C or B papering. If you really want experf quality, you’d need a 5% boost on the filly, which would make GMTing the filly more expensive. If you’re fine with C papering, then GMTing the filly is cheaper.

Of course, if you’re fine with het DP instead of hom, the colt is cheaper to go with - just know that only half of the foals will be getting DP instead of all of them. It all depends on how much culling you want to do in the end, really, and whether the foals that don’t fit your plans have another place to go or if they’ll become show ponies, etc.

Now that pasture breeding has opened I should be able to start making money again for a few weeks. Then it’s a matter of whether to spend the $$ on extra barns (desperately needed) or splash out on GMTs for this boy.
