I'll take a look through your farm! c:

I'm super excited to introduce three warlander x walkaloosa foals oh my gracious! Two colts and one little filly. They all potentially could have snowflake spots, but right not they haven't grown anything in.

I love Tennessee Walkers because I used to train them back when I lived in America. They're such lovely movers with lovely personalities. I had contemplated importing some over here to the UK, but so expensive. :-(

Anyway, I hope this all goes well. Please post pictures when you've established your "line"!

Re: Vocal Ranch Color Breeders

I've switched to color breeding rather than a specific breed project, and I'm really focusing on pearls since they're my favorite dilute. I tried breeding NAB to NAB hoping that they would give a foal who took a recessive gene from each parent, but no such luck. So instead I've bred my NAB mares to a double pearl stallion so now I'm certain these new fillies carry a single pearl allele.

I'm actually really excited because I just picked up this gorgeous, gorgeous sooty silver bay pearl stallion from the adopts who I seriously adore! I'm going to breed him to the four single pearl fillies and hope I get some double pearl foals~

Also the main page of this thread is a work in progress, I'm trying to put up real life photos and in-game photos of different pearl horses.

Thanks! And yeah I've been searching constantly for pearl horses at the center but I've only ever seen that stallion.

But gracious I've bred two pearl foals and they're beautiful, I'm so happy with this project so far. I'm not sure what base coat they both are right now but I'm guessing the colt, Teacat, is a silver bay pearl and he is quite a bit larger than his half sister, Difficult, despite him being two weeks younger than her. I'm going to train them both like I'm doing with their sire and compete them once they're ready~

They are both bay based.. :)

Btw, I'm glad you're using The Brown Pearl! I haven't been, but it's good he's gotten some use from someone else. I also have a small pearl project myself but it's not going in the same direction as yours.

Aha sorry for using your stallion almost religiously, Syn! I don't have as many foals from him as you may think, just finding it challenging to breed double pearl fillies between your double pearl stud and one of my pearl carrier mares.

During the past couple of weeks I've focused on the goal of breeding NAB x Arabian double pearl horses. So far I have pearl carrier crosses and nab pearl carriers who are pregnant, I'm pretty happy with my horses right now.

I have managed to breed my first double pearl cross colt who's almost old enough to sire his own foals. I should have a good sized herd of NAB x Arabian double pearls soon!

On the pasture side of my breeding farm I'm breeding Arabian x Exmoor ponies, trying to get maybe six spotted, hopefully feathered mares who are 3* or 4* for Welsh Mountain ponies and a few stallions.

These two mares are getting close to what I'm looking for.

Admiral's body size is lower than what I'd like so I'm focusing on breeding her to exmoor stallions to get that body size up and then breeding her foals to spotted arabians to get in the color.

My second broodmare pasture is focused on producing Cleveland Bay fillies. My favorite is definitely this girl~

And then in my third pasture resides the broodmares meant for Norfolk Trotter breeding, so far they've proven generally unsuccessful, but I have managed to breed a Norfolk foal so it's still exciting nevertheless!

It's funny to me that I have so many bay clevelands and cleveland crosses without meaning to cx

Took a slight turn away from pearls just for now to focus on breeding smallish half hackneys so I can create a few lines of welsh mountain ponies hopefully in the next week!

So far I have five half hackney fillies I'm excited to cross with TBs. Their horse-types are mostly a bit high but they have the small heights I was looking for. My purebred hackney fillies and mares will be bred to have half hackneys as well since I want to get light feathers and spots in my horses

Been a while since I've updated! I haven't played much for the past month since school's been wrapping up, but I'm jumping back into the heat of the things and working on breeding some welsh mountain ponies!

I'm not sure where all the color went :lol: , but I'll focus on getting appy spots back in them later on.

I've bred my first wmp! And also purchased a few welsh mares and stallions to speed it up a little.

[ VRCB ] Little Mess


One breed I did not esxpect at all to breed are these two welsh pony of cob types, interesting looks on them. I don't want to rehome them, I'd much rather sell to someone interested in the breed but I'm not all to sure of anyone who'd want them aha

[ VRCB ] Mohawk Kitten



Most of my breeding farm consists of half hackneys and pure hackneys and hackney x tb crosses to get the wmps, but i also have a small amount of mixed spanish barbs I'm breeding up to make them 100% barb

Wow I haven't posted here since may!

I usually only play for a few minutes during the weekdays evenings and then play for hours over the weekends, and finally I got enough pony tokens from the quests to bump up to premium for a bit.

I have a lot of projects going on lmao, first it was the chincoteagues then I had a lull in which non of my horses would produce any so I paused that and went to breed pearl into a few new lines. About a week ago I started breeding new breeds for the quests so I have a few pastures set up for them and it's going pretty well! If anyone is looking for a certain breed you might need, let me know! I might have it or will get to it c:

But what I really just got thrown at was four new chincoteagues today which is crazy for me. I have a two and 3.5 month old colt that I've been training up and then just in the last hour I have now a 6 month colt, then a month old colt, and right after came my newborn filly! On my other account I have three other 4 year old and partly trained chincoteagues. I want to have six fillies overall and then stop breeding chincos for a bit and start breeding them with my pearl horses who I'm trying to turn into grades and crosses.

I've been watching grey's anatomy today, where the names came from haha
