If I find a chestnut or palomino I know if hiding DP I will gmt on the 1 or 2 copies of sooty they need.
Or make them consistent :D

I GMT a lot of color OFF RS horses so they fit in my program. Take off a lot of dun or cream, change EE or Ee to ee, add sooty. I will GMT consistency on a foal that I otherwise like everything else about, but, then again, I am more strict than SBA on a HUGE number of my foals.

This colt is actually a really good example of why I choose to GMT sometimes.


Day of the Moon ExP DPKPY

So...I love KP and when I came back to playing I knew I wanted a KP line. Last time around my KP line was mostly black/Grullo/silver black. However, I also fell in love with Chocolate palominos and particularly loved them with S+. When Machiato came out, I knew I wanted that line to be black because I absolutely love black splashes with blue eyes--so striking! So I decided to make my KP line chocolate palomino.

If you open the colt's page, you will see that he is a Rhythm of Four. So I knew he had DP already, but he was a buckskin, not a red based horse.

I GMTd off his E gene to make him red based.

I added an extra DP.

I added two S+.

I added two patterns that I love, one that is GMT only and the other is a really safe gene in combination with other Kit patterns.

And then I added his two copies of KP.

A lot of tokens? Yes. But you can see how I took a base that already had some of the genes I wanted (in this case, the relatively expensive 10GMT DP allele) and then made it what I wanted to breed for. He's an ExPerf RS so I know he will be an excellent sire and I will end up with A and Blue gen 2s from his line.

So for me, GMTing makes sense to get to what I want to breed for quickly. I know there are S+ lines and KP lines and DP lines and Kit M lines out there that I could have blended all together, but I probably would have needed 4 generations to bring all of that together into a foal that had everything I wanted....and with my luck it would be snipped! So this, while expensive, is a shortcut to my goal!

I have a KP line. Very limited mares for him. I am thinking about a gmt project but with so many options not sure what I want.

Also, if you're earning a massive show bonus every day, you'll have enough hbs to GMT all sorts of cool genes into your lines and still have lots of hbs left over. Some of the more established players are constantly buying IVs so that they don't hit the 10 million hb cap.

I don't right now. But I like either a splash 2 or even a homo rabicano horse. Just not sure of colors? I love black and blood bays.
