So I want to add either one copy of satin or one copy of water color onto this guy, what do you guys think I should do.
Which would be more popular because I plan on selling straws or if needed put him up for stud in my chat for someone.

I vote satin!

You should add whichever genes You like rather than what others think. Everyone has their own preference. I’m not a fan of watercolour but I have a small line of satins.

But if you are wanting to share remember that watercolour is a closed gene so the pool of shareable people is smaller since it’s limited to others who have bought the gene. Satin is one of the more expensive genes to add in the gmt lab so not as readily available at the foundation level but it is shareable with anyone that wants a foal

I would vote for satin. Lots of people have watercolor foundations but there are not many satin foundations. I think you would have a bigger market for straws with satin. He will be beautiful no matter which you add though!

One thing to consider is that watercolor only needs one copy to show, but satin needs 2. Unless you have satin mares to breed to you won't see any satin foals until at least the 3rd gen.

I would say satin as not everyone has the watercolor license.
But it is gorgeous with watercolor :)

Satin doesn't show that great on pearls. Might want to check that first.

Satin on pearls and pseudo pearls:

It’s definitely a lot more subtle. I personally like it but it’s up to you :x

Satin

On the other hand, here are the PrlPrl Watercolors horses that I've bred: Voila, Hey Presto, click here. :P

Maribo · Sep 14, 2018 2:47 PM

I think watercolor is WAYY prettier on pearl horses than satin is. Don't get me wrong, I adore satin! But on pearls or champagnes I would definately go with watercolor.

FallenShadows714 · Sep 14, 2018 3:18 PM

Better hurry and make a decision, the genes change tomorrow! But I think watercolor would look better on him personally

kintara · Sep 14, 2018 9:58 PM

Watercolour can be quite muted on pearl too sometimes but I'd go both haha!!

One copy of satin for nice surprises down the track, and one copy of watercolour for the now bling!

BlackWyld · Sep 15, 2018 6:59 AM

I personally prefer satin but another thing to consider is that satin is an open gene and watercolour is closed so if you are loving watercolour and want to start playing with breeding it you are going to want a license.

Maribo · Sep 15, 2018 9:45 AM

@BlackWyld You get the license from buying the gene.

BlackWyld · Sep 15, 2018 11:14 AM

@Maribo
Sorry for not being clear. I do know that. I just meant, if Gracie is only buying one gene then they may want watercolour for this guy so that gives them the license. If they choose satin they are out of luck with being able to breed WC until it becomes available again but if they choose WC they can still play with breeding satin. :)

I guess it makes little difference now. LOL

Gracie3B · Sep 15, 2018 12:02 PM

Oh no! I was really busy last night and I forgot all about the genes being available one last day :-(

Looks like I’ll be getting ice on him
