Yellow Orchid Stables Log
Hi there! I figured I would start a farm log as I continue to grow and breed more horses! Please forgive me as I am sure this will be rough in the beginning lol!
I breed North African Barbs, Arabians, and Belgians! If you have any horses that you do not want anymore, let me know! I will use this log to document and keep track of my bred foals and champion studs as well as other farm news!

YOS Log: North African Barbs
My Starter Breed!
> As the first breed I had on HWO, you can imagine that my NABs have a special place in my heart! I rescued a beautiful stallion from the sale ads and have worked on breeding him with rescued mares from the Adoption Center. This is the post where I will update my progress on several NAB projects as well as things I have come to know and love about my North African Barbs!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I want to showcase my single stallion that has sired almost all of my NAB foals, he is my Master Grand Champion pride and joy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting out with AC mares has been tough, you need to be okay with low GP foals! I have used three gorgeous mares that I have scooped up from the AC (or rescued from someone that didn't want them)
--> My first was Penny, a black tobiano
--> Then I found Pepper (which I just have to show a picture of!!!), she is a SILVER DAPPLE TOBIANO!! She has awful stats with 2 reds, but how do you not scoop up a purebred Dapple NAB
--> And finally I found Glisten who is a drop dead gorgeous chestnut dun varnish NAB, she has produced the best foals by far!
Pepper the Silver Dapple NAB
Glisten the Varnish Chestnut

Silver Dapple Breeding Project
> Given that there are few silver dapple North African Barbs in the game, I have made it a goal to produce high GP and quality foals that carry the SIlver Dapple coats as well as the 'varnish' gene! Here I will keep track of my progress with the Dapples!
> My first hurdle was that the dapple gene did not represent when I bred Pepper with White Sand (my stallion stud), so I was left to search the stud market for a silver dapple... I have since been using SBH Astroturf as a stud (link: http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1904892) This is less than ideal so I am still searching for a dappled stallion to purchase, ping me if you have one

My first foal from Pepper and SBH Astroturf:
Pearl
Only my first try I got a show stopper! Pearl is a purebred NAB with the silver dapple and varnish representation! With a low GP pf 31,574 the bloodline has a long way to go, but she has no reds!!!
My second foal from Pepper and SBH Astroturf:
Confusion
This time pepper kicked a colt, which was exciting! He has mixed stats (1 Gr, 1 Red; hence his name) but a better GP 35,088...
My third foal from Pepper and SBH Astroturf:
Marbled Ivory
This time pepper kicked a colt, which was exciting! He has mixed stats (1 Gr, 1 Red; hence his name) but a better GP 35,088...
Last updated 7/28Coming soon...
I have decided to breed Pearl with her father to have larger odds of carrying the varnish dapple through the pedigree. Unfortunately that will increase the COI temporarily until I find a new stud, but I can't wait for the foal!

Snow Cap
He is a varnish which is great, but his GP is average with no good stats, so not perfectLast updated 8/8/2019UPDATE:
I bred mom Pearl to stud SBH Astroturf one last time before dad retired, so fingers crossed we get a good foal!
