YASSSS!! A 4* filly with height as the problem!!! Finally! After 4 failures! I also got a colt that happened to be N/A... that got rehomed, but at least I have that 1 filly! Lol please keep telling me about your Arab and Danish projects for some encouragement!!!

Congratulations....and I have no bloody idea what is up with Quarter Horses this is the most frustrating project I've taken on lol. If I didn't have ya as a partner I would have said SCREW THIS a long time ago I didn't have this much problems with my Arabian and Belgians....>.> My Arabians throw 5* most of the time, but when they don't the problem is ALWAYS in height. My Belgians always threw 5* but when they didn't, it was in body size, but I didn't care cuz I was focused on their coat colors more than anything.

The Danish project is a toss up 50/50, I'll say most of the time I get 4*, sometimes 5*, sometimes 3*, as long as it's not build, type or body size (to a certain degree, if it's close to meeting the standard like the new Danish foal, that's fine)...but it's still NOT AS HARD as this one has been for us and the Danish horses aren't even popular-ish like the Quarter Horses GRRRR!
All I can say for encouragement is eventually we'll get 5*, but we just gotta cull and keep culling until we get what we want. I say this out of experience, when I first began my Arabians and Belgians, I let it slide, give a little you get a mile really, once I started breeding what I wanted consistent, I got militant and refused to keep crap horses laying around And look at the two fillies the mares just dropped for me, or the colt....being militant pays off.

As for my future champion hunter, I started training him in the stats important for hunters. He's popping 1st place in the local shows at level 6 every time now, he has made me 418 tokens and gave me back my turns. His win percent in competition is 40% but that's my fault, I entered him into every hunter show I could find without checking the levels right now he's 66.9% trained

Haha seriously! I've been debating that multiple times already!!!! It's like, FORGET THIS!! And then you get that 4* filly and decide to stick it out. I'm really glad I have you as my partner as well Oh, I put up my 4* Quarter stud for sale so he can go on the holding account (height is his problem). Hos name is Hope Valley Gold in case you have to search for him. Lol I already got a $40 offer on him! Thank you for the advice on getting rid of junk horses, sometimes I hesitate on certain ones thinking, make i could use it.... but I know I never will... so yeah, just rehome!! Keep going with the hunter colt! I can't wait to see where he goes in his competition career!!!!

Hahah it's okay! I've been busy while you've been offline! And I like having good luck <3

One of my Danish mares dropped a 5* colt today.

The future champion is now a stallion and 409.6% trained. He's now showing both in hunters and cross country. He wins 1st places straight across the board in level 9 hunters and level 6 cross country, and has earned me 447 pony tokens from 421 (so close to premium again!).
For true competition, he has $4,821 total earnings from hunters and cross country. $3,218 earnings in hunters showing at level 4 now with 148 points (almost 200 to be a champion!) 47.4% wins---4 3rd places, 3rd 2nd places and 2 1st places. For cross country he has $1,160 total earnings showing at level 2 with 29 points--63.6% wins---5 3rd places and 2 1st places. I entered him in more hunter and cross country shows today, we'll see how he does! I keep training him between the shows of course, cuz ya know, more training the better they perform.

Oh....and don't yell at me for this, but I bred him to his grandma (Straight to the Moon). They both have great genetics and I wanted to see if I could enhance them by doing some interbreeding. Here's their colt:


There are no negative or average comments in his breeding report anywhere. He is 5* carrying 5 golds 1 green (another six stat ) and a genetic potential of 68,573. I bred his grandma to him again to see what a filly from their mating is like.
Oh, and if you want to check him out, here's the lovely stallion that's almost a champion in Hunter:



Hmm I think I covered every thing that I was super excited to tell you about, but if I remember something I'll let you know!

EDIT:
Got another 4* QH filly foal on the ground! She's sired by the dappled stud of yours and out of my tall mare Diamond Candy....and she's a palomino, adorable <3 GP 47,937 and a gold intelligence.



EDIT #2 (8/9/17):

Another 4* QH filly! No reds, 40,413 hgp. Looks like she'll be a sooty palomino (going by her legs being darker than the rest of her). She is sired by your stud Not a Lil' Storm and out of my tall mare Diamond Candy who has earned her retirement. Miss seeing you on btw




Another edit 8/9/17:

Got another filly with 4* in height! Last foal for my short QH. No reds, 43,408 hgp....and what a beautiful baby she is <3
