Hey guys!

I'm relatively new here and have just bred my very own first foals! One of them turned out lovely, but the other one, although I am in love with her genotype, has only a decent PT score and is inconsistent.

My question is, how is consistency determined? Both of her parents were consistent so I'm just a bit confused.

Secondly...should I bother breeding her eventually? Again I love her genes but if consistency is passed down I don't want to keep breeding inconsistent horses.

Thanks so much! xo

Can you post links so we can see them? :)

Consistency is part luck, part genetics - consistent parents are more likely to throw consistent foals, but 2 consistent parents CAN throw inconsistent foals too.

She is more likely than a consistent horse to create inconsistent foals so if it's a big issue to you she might not be worth it. Personally I don't care about consistency, but I know others do so you'll just have to determine if it matters to you in your breeding goals :)

You can still get consistent foals from her.

@AHayesHorses: Sure! Here they are:

HMS But Im A Cheerleader

and

HMS Chance of Cheer

And thank you guys so much for your input! I think I will keep her and provided she does well in shows I will breed her :)
