So for Christmas I got a premium upgrade for the first time and I am really excited to start using SBA as I have way too many horses. So which herd helpers are guaranteed to pass SBA? I know RS will but will ExPros always pass or Perfect Foundations? I just don't want to put any special horses through SBA and have them not pass.

Perfect foundations and ex pros always pass. I believe that for foundations only low or mid C/ yellow and below gets snipped.

And for lined horses, any of yours that are a paper above both parents (so red out of c/yellow or blue out of b/red, etc) should automatically pass too.

Thank you both! Already started going through with the snipping scissors (insert evil laugh!) :-))

Not every RS will pass. I've had some very painful snips. Just the ones that are PF or ExPro are guaranteed.

Lallyhop · Dec 29, 2018 7:34 PM

@SeldomSeen I thought all RS were guaranteed to be PF or Expro. Are there ones that aren't?

@Lallyhop
I thought so, too..... :-/

I have never had a RS fail SBA... what RS didn’t pass?

Bourbon · Dec 29, 2018 8:14 PM

I've had every RS pass, including clones of RS horses?

Maribo · Dec 29, 2018 8:26 PM

RS always pass. And expro, experf, PF and TNP. Lined horses that are papered higher will still be snipped if they are very inconsistent though.

Haltanny · Dec 29, 2018 8:58 PM

All RS are PF, ex pro or ex perf, they all pass. Things like Blackout, the brindle create day, etc, those are not technically RS and those dont always pass.

Thanks for the info everyone! I've already started the culling. Some of it is so hard but my herds will thank me later!

Another question for y'all. Do you run every horse in your barn through SBA or do you let some have a pass and only run them through BA?

Goobanni · Dec 30, 2018 5:26 AM

Me personally I put them all through SBA....before I even look at the prettiness lol

Lallyhop · Dec 30, 2018 7:54 AM

It depends on the line! Some, like the ones I get as embryos (because I made a mare and not a stud, like my mushrooms) the mares get BA and the colts get SBA. I wouldn't have any mares to work with if I started with SBA off the bat! When my lines get bigger it'll be an easy way for me to cull them down a bit there.

On the other hand, my thunderstruck/watercolor experf boy... all his foals get mercilessly SBA'd! I'd have too many if I didn't! The 2G colts also have to paper A to stay.

And of course my bootstraps - SBA would snip them! I run all the colts and leave the fillies untested. They get judged by paper instead :3

Goobanni · Dec 30, 2018 7:59 AM

YES....Don't SBA your Bootstrap lines. Done that mistake a couple of times LOL

Bourbon · Dec 30, 2018 10:26 AM

Depends on the line, but pretty much everything is chucked through SBA before I even open their page for the first time.

The only two lines I don’t SBA is the BS line as they’re still in their baby days. And my mixed 6g + pasture. That pasture is thrown through BA as I still haven’t sorted it out fully. And I need high golds to replace my aging mares.

Maribo · Dec 30, 2018 12:20 PM

I SBA everything except the fillies from my bootstrap line. In everything else, quality is always paramount.

Painted Dreams · Dec 30, 2018 5:39 PM

Thanks everyone for your explanations! For lines I know I have too many horses in I think everyone will get SBA. I may be more lenient with up and coming lines and straw/egg babies. I think I will just have to experiment to see what works best for me.
