Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.

Re: Andalusians
Pricing really depends on demand. On HWO, most people value one or two of a couple things: Low COI, rare breeds, HGP, specialized competition stats, training, and titles. Color can come into it sometimes but because any breed can be any color on HWO you can kinda go nuts with that. Face markings and low leg markings with no body tobiano is one of the rarer things to come across.
Any breed can be bred for any competition, so it's entirely up to you! I'd recommend looking into Frost's competition guide and the comment guide to help you decide what you're going to go for. Movement and strength are the two hardest stats to breed for.

One of my personal favorite gene combinations currently is dapple grey, metallic sheen (from Turkmenes) and black. But you can really go nuts with color, and you can mix pretty much any color into your stock and then breed it back to pure within a few generations.
