Do any of you guys have a favourite stud or broodmare (or even altered horse) that you just can't help but love, even if they aren't quite doing what you wanted?

For me, my favourite foundation stud (Jimi Pesto) gave me Jimi Pesto Jr

He's CT'd as one of my best studs, and I'm really exited to continue with his dun line. Now, I had him as a pasture stud this month thinking "this month is the month I get A grade Jimi Pesto III." But, alas, he gave me fillies. My favourite looking fillies, and the best foal of the crop graded against another A colt, but FILLIES! I want my colt! February better be your month, Junior *shakes fist* Maybe I shouldn't be so prejudice.

Please tell me someone feels my pain?

Cheers · Jan 9, 2016 3:39 PM

Seriously? Why is the filly fairy at your place? I'm up to my ears in colts. Superior colts, including As from my 2 gen 2 freshmen, but drowning in colts. Wanna trade?

I was insanely excited to see that my freshmen had given me A papered colts from their first season...and then I opened the pages and they gave it to me on the most boring foals the threw. My super metallic smokey silver black gave me a plain black colt (always useful tho!). And my DP champagne with lots of bells and whistles threw the most beautiful chocolatey liver chestnut looking colt that got gelded, and his plain flaxen chestnut got the A. Oh well...they could have thrown 90% altered foals, so I should quit whingeing!

Pictures, to share my pain and joy:

Lupine Jewel, seriously one of the best looking stallions I have...

And his colt--pretty, but not super amazing.

And Rivendell, quite striking

With his colt

Lmao I had to giggle at Rivendell (who is REALLY quite striking) compared with his colt. I've had a similar experience!

If you'd like to swap Kinky Wolf for Lemon Pesto (best of the crop) I'd be DELIGHTED!!!!

I have alot of fillies

mabelhavana · Jan 9, 2016 4:11 PM

I will also swap her for Drinking Game - Chestnut for chestnut lmao

Yeah, my Ice 8 boy

... has been TERRIBLY stingy with the ice in his maiden year.

So far out of 14 breedings I have 2 intact with ice, both mares.

Antique Carousel is my favorite broodmare. She has always been my favorite horse since I started the game breeding buckskins. I love that she is a buckskin and soooooo dark. Because of her color, I have never rerolled her.

She has a daughter, Antique Comet, that is close to the same color, I never rerolled Antique Comet either.

I rerolled her son, Bielas Antique, who was also close to the same color. He came out more of a buckskin dun. That is why I never rerolled the other two.

Abbey Road · Jan 9, 2016 6:18 PM

I hear that... I'm terribly sorry I rerolled Bielas Comet, he was almost exactly the same color as Carousel.

PaintsStables · Jan 9, 2016 6:22 PM

Yep, so was Bielas Antique, he looks like his daddy does after you rerolled him.

PaintsStables · Jan 9, 2016 7:59 PM

I was checking my 2 year olds, and resetting the image from foal to 2 years.
Check her out, she turned into a nice two year old showing off her plume..... Santas Gulastra Gift:

And here is the colt that looks like her with his plume.

* drools* so much Gp.

Abbey Road · Jan 9, 2016 8:05 PM

Aw, she's awesome :)

Baya · Jan 9, 2016 8:05 PM

Sadly i dont have Gp yet :(( but hopefully in the future i may have it. And i have so many other genes i never though i would get most come from abbeys line, and i thank her for being so kind to me and letting me breed some of her AMAZING stock. To be honest i wouldnt be at the point i am now without her or sandy creek

PaintsStables · Jan 9, 2016 8:09 PM

All of the horses above are descendants from Abbey's horses. Except Antique Carousel. Thanks Abby for being sooooo awesome for suggesting breeding Carousel to your stallion.

Abbey Road · Jan 9, 2016 8:57 PM

You're very welcome :)

Baya · Jan 10, 2016 4:26 AM

I mean i bred this filly today from my new stallion.

PaintsStables · Jan 10, 2016 6:20 AM

Very nice Baya!

Baya · Jan 10, 2016 6:25 AM

Her sire is my new Wild bay Roan Appaloosa

Abbey Road · Jan 10, 2016 9:23 AM

So he is wild bay. Interesting.

Baya · Jan 10, 2016 10:05 AM

When she was born she was a beautiful leopard

Salvistar · Jan 10, 2016 8:16 PM

Mabel, this boy of mine is a perfect example of that unfortunate event. Both Mom and Dad had patterns and he got none of them. I kept him intact anyways since he compared superior to my best third gen stud, but man I wish he had gotten some more pretty genes.

Cheers · Jan 13, 2016 11:24 AM

talk about unrequited love...I'm about to go slit my wrists over this one.

Brown BRINDLE gen 2 stallion. Papered C.

Cheers · Jan 13, 2016 11:27 AM

I'm not sure I'm strong enough to hit the button to geld him.... May need some digital hand holding for that one y'all....

fj1482 · Jan 13, 2016 11:36 AM

That stinks Cheers. I feel your pain.

MoonAcre Stables · Jan 13, 2016 11:40 AM

Oh no Cheers! Thats so not fair! *holds your hand*

Salvistar · Jan 13, 2016 12:25 PM

I probably would have kept him intact. I have no fortitude.

Cheers · Jan 13, 2016 12:30 PM

It was not fun, but I knew the longer I put it off, the more excuses I would find and next thing I'd find myself breeding him and getting a pasture of crappy foals without brindle! But he is going to live in my primary barn for a while just so I can stare at him....

Abbey Road · Jan 13, 2016 1:21 PM

Def keep him for a show pony, we need more brindles in the game past 1st gen so that the leaderboards fill. Or, if you don't want him, I know a brindle hoarder...

Abbey Road · Jan 13, 2016 1:27 PM

If it makes you feel any better, I was so in love with this guy that I kept him intact for 4 seasons, and today I looked at him again and thought, "He's not up to quality...." and got out the snippers. *sniffle*

http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=292004

....he has butt rainbows. :( :( :(

Baya · Jan 13, 2016 1:49 PM

Bummer abbey, i would have taken him

Cheers · Jan 13, 2016 3:14 PM

Oh he's definitely going to be a show pony! Decent PT for a gen 2 so I'm hoping he will earn me lots of points!

I love the butt rainbows....sorry you had to snip him!

Baya · Jan 13, 2016 3:52 PM

Funny thing is cheers hes out of my Yule log mare i sold to you

Cheers · Jan 13, 2016 4:07 PM

Yep. Her name was appropriate. For those who haven't looked, the dam of my brindle gelding is named "Heard My Heart Break"
