Well its up to you of course. But if it were me I'd definitely geld. Especially if you've got good colts who already have papered b. And you're correct, second gens should paper B if you want the line to improve. :)

Still don't know how to advertise the foals with this sort of thing (yes, the father is 3/4 generation, but he tested aga my perfect foundation, and is bred to foundations, so the foals should be no different than 2g foals from a perfect foundation stallion, so... 2g?) I also have a lot of really nice horses that I use in higher "generation" groups, just thought I had to put it our there since reading this post I sound like a breeder that doesn't care about quality, but if there is a horse that really stands out, I like to see where that horse can be useful in improving my herd If a horse is a bad 2g, but will help quality and color on my foundations, why not use him to improve foundation?

Wish you luck!

Ok, there you go. comparison testing is key when doing this sort of stuff, just didn't know if you had it. He sure is pretty. Wish you luck next year!

Thanks Kintara! a As that horse is turning three next month I still have time to figure out whet I'm going to do with him. He'd be no different than breeding a perfect foundation to my mares, except he has a lot of color I want, and I haven't found a suitable foundry like that. But yeah, ever since I realised his mom was actually 3g instead of 2g I have been wondering" now what"
