Wingless Flight Arabians

"...And Allah took a handful of south wind and from it formed a horse, saying, "I create thee, Oh Arabian. To thy forelock I bind victory in battle. On thy back I set a rich spoil, and a treasure in thy loins. I establish thee flight without wings."

Wingless Flight Arabians is situated in a lush green valley sheltered from the semi-desert surrounding it by a series of rolling hills riddled with streams.

To anyone reading:

Helloo! And thanks for taking a look! Feel free to comment on this thread if you like

Updates
2019/11/13 - Bred a Keeper foal with 46 GP.
2019/10/16 - Bred a keeper foal with 45 GP! Decreased filly cull GP to 35, since I realized that I need to prioritize conformation and moved the goal to retire/rehome horses under 39 GP to meduim term goals. Because of the way conformation affects stats, foals with desirable qualities, but are in a transitional stage have a lower GP (but will still provide better foals in the long run).
2018/10/19 - Made keep/cull criteria more strict
2018/10/21 - Made cull criteria even stricter + Added some adoption centre horses
2018/10/21 - Bred foal with over half bar deep flank!
2018/10/23 - Bred filly with 7/8 stats I'm looking for ☯ Mahnoor
2018/10/23 - 44 GP foal ☯ Mahdi

Update 1 - 26 February 2017

At this stage I'm concentrating on:

• maintaining the flaxen in my herd
  maintaning the grey black horses in my herd
  improving stats, with a particular focus on wiping out bad tempo

Horses I like for their colour

Isram - he also has a nice, short face, prominent cheek and full mane and tail.



Horses I like for their Stats

In'am - 39.964 GP. So close to 40! Her tempo and colour isn't great though and she is a bit long in the face.

Update 2 - 26 February 2017

Goal achieved!

Bred a colt with a GP of 40.3!

Update 3 - 28 February 2017

Aquired 3 new Adoption Centre horses, a bay stallion with some nice conformation, a fresh flaxen stallion and a really nice looking black stallion (head and short back):

Jamil

[Wingless Flight]

Some of the Arabians that are likely to feature heavily in the next generation:


Munir (Male, 40 GP and green stamina)

Jericho (Male, 39 GP and green intelligence)

Anina (Female, 38 GP)

Jazmine (Female, 39 GP and green intelligence and stamina, to be used in my silver bay line)

Jaide (Male, 35 GP, to add some fresh blood and reduce COI in my silver bay line)

[Wingless Flight]

I'm feeling pretty good about my Arabian's faces at the moment and their flanks are getting deeper quicker than I imagined. I've stopped concentrating on short faces (as most of my arabs now have pretty good ones) and have started getting rid of their flat butts. I've identified my mares and stallions with the moist rounded hips and am going to get started on that next.

The best of the sloped hipped breeding project:

☯ Dana



Got a long way to go, but its one of the adoption centre characteristics that have bothered me the most. Can't wait to get rid of those sharp looking hips.

]An unexpected, but interesting development that I'm not sure is going to go anywhere is this guy:

☯ Arzu


He's got a lighter than usual mane, tail and leg colouring for a bay.
