1. Western Trail Mongolians

I'd been breeding Mongolians for positive Agility-Balance-Intelligence comments for a while, and in September 2025 I accidentally got two colts with "agile as a cat" agility comment. So I thought: why not?

This is going okay, I guess. Today (2025-09-11) I got my very first colt with agility 56! With a "dime" comment and balance 40. Not bad.



The stallions who started it all:





My current second and third best studs, in training:






Goals:
- agility 50+, gold
- balance 40+, gold
- intelligence ?, gold
- stamina 35+, positive/green/gold if possible

Training (for Western Trail):
1. Lunge on the Flat (Arena, Walk) until 30 min. of Jumping Obstacles (Arena, Walk) takes 50% or less.
2. Jumping Obstacles (Arena, Walk) until Agility reaches 90+%.
3. Lunge over Jumps (Arena, Walk) until Intelligence reaches 90%.
4. Jumping Obstacles (Arena, Walk) until Agility reaches 100%.
5. Lunge over Jumps (Arena, Walk) until Intelligence reaches 100%
6. Lunge on the Flat (Arena, Walk) until Stamina reaches 100%.
Result:
Speed 82.79%
Strength 100%
Stamina 100%
Intelligence 100%
Movement 1%
Tempo 100%
Agility 100%
Balance 100%

2. Endurance Arabian x TB crossses

Best Final score: 19.16



Best stamina: 61 (comment: ''extraordinary")



Struggling with getting 50+ stamina, especially with gold speed; also with body size (20+ instead of desired 1-10) and height (too tall).

I have love/hate relationship with this project. Hopefully someday I'll get back to it.

Goals:
- stamina 50+ (60+ if possible), gold
- speed 50+, gold
- agility 30-40+, gold
- tempo 30+, green/gold
- Arabian 5* eval
