Guys! I just bred my 2nd brindle in 3 months. What are the odds. He passed GA but I just papered him and he got C...go figure

He's still gorgeous

Oooooh, Yule offspring? Niiice. :)

ColorGoodStables · Jan 9, 2017 8:02 PM

It's to bad he failed. But still excited. I love brown and brindle is such a bonus

best friend · Jan 9, 2017 8:13 PM

Awesome. He will make a great show horse to. Beautiful.

Congrats! I love your boy's face marking. I kinda wonder if the chance percentage has been changed because I've just bred my 4th brindle in as many months. Or maybe we're extremely lucky :D

ColorGoodStables · Jan 9, 2017 11:07 PM

What a cutie!. We might just be lucky. I don't see a good reason for Ammit to have changed the odds?

KniKna · Jan 9, 2017 11:12 PM

I think she would have told us if she'd changed the odds, but there seems to be a lot more brindles being born of late. Or maybe we're finding more because colour testing is so much cheaper. Two of my brindles were spayed/gelded and auctioned before I realised they were brindles as they were hard to see. Either way, I'm not complaining! I love their uniqueness.

ColorGoodStables · Jan 9, 2017 11:15 PM

That's possible. I've seen some pretty pale brindle before. But even when color testing was expensive we were able to enter them into clubs. Maybe it was just me but I always did brindle first :)) always wanted to see if I had one. Never did though

Aawww, you got a little carbon copy! I'm still holding my fingers for a brindle baby, I've no luck as of yet despite the amount of brindle RS's I'm clinging to haha

best friend · Jan 10, 2017 5:17 AM

Me either Bourbon. I have a few brindles myself.

SandycreekFarm · Jan 10, 2017 5:25 AM

I would say, from experience, that if he passed GA and papered the same as his sire, his breeding ability was about the same as his sire's or maybe just a bit higher, but still within the C range. Remember that GA only neuters a colt if his breeding ability is considerably worse than his sire's. If you comparison tested the two, he probably would test about as good as his sire, which, again, covers a range of abilities from slightly worse than through slightly better than.

SandycreekFarm · Jan 10, 2017 5:26 AM

Congratulations on the brindle babies, though. I haven't had much luck there myself, but I haven't found time to do a lot of breeding the last several seasons. I spend too much of my game time doing other things. *G*

PaintsStables · Jan 10, 2017 7:11 AM

Congratulations on your brindles.

More players also means more horses which means more chances at brindle (or at least to have someone POST about getting one!), and we've been getting new players like crazy!

Ammit · Jan 10, 2017 1:30 PM

Lots of brindle HHs.

hiddenvfarm · Jan 11, 2017 10:37 AM

Gorgeous!

CaddoFarms · Jan 11, 2017 8:32 PM

Beautiful foals.

ColorGoodStables · Jan 11, 2017 8:39 PM

Thanks Caddo!

He couldn't be better than his sire if he papered C, as I understand it the Perfect Foundations and Rank Specials (also the better normal creates) are the top level of a C already. So at best he could be the same as his sire, and of course very likely to be worse

ColorGoodStables · Jan 12, 2017 12:34 AM

He's gonna get snipped anyways I don't keep any Cs ever, foundation are my only exception.
Even though he's brindle he's equal to a regular create to me he didn't PT to hot
