The Size Race (to be resolved peacefully)
Soooo, I had an idea! 
I will buy two horses off the market that are tall-ish or small-ish (you can choose) and you will either need to breed them so that they become 15 inches and then breed them to become 20hh or to become 20hh and then back down to 15 inches. You will get to choose the size it starts from (tall or short) but the breed won't be your choice. This is a high COI friendly contest. What you need to do is breed the stallion and mare twice or until the foals start showing the desired traits (rehome all those that don't if you want) and then breed the two foals until they improve on the desired trait and so on. You will need to log (record/note etc...) the size of the parents along with their link in the farm logs section. Each time you use a foal record it in that forum (record size only when they reach maturity stallion/mare). Title it something like this: The Size Race farm log (username). The higher the HGP the more points I will add to the final result. The contest will have two stages (if you choose tall): breeding down and then breeding back up or vice versa if you choose to start small. The horses won't be more than 10k each or they will be from my farm. Now for the sign-up form!!!
