Silver Dapple Appaloosa Project - Success!

[Baranduin Brewster]

It has been a couple of months of trials with a few pitfalls, such as scrapping my first line because they didn't meet my standards. I was hoping to breed a line that resemble the old type Appaloosa favored by the Nez Perce tribe, instead of the bull dog type.

Finally, I manage to get a 100% Lp pattern Appaloosa foal with the Silver Dapple coloring

Once I get a few more of Appaloosa, I will turn my attention to Silver Dapple Walkaloosas and POAs.

Beautiful horse...great work! Doesn't it suck when you have to keep culling foals until you get what you want? I feel like that's all I do with this QH project my partner and I are working on....we're very picky with evaluation scores, want 5* but 4* is allowed if it's height....about a gazillion or so substandard foals later, I have one 5*, and two acceptable 4*....

Actually, it doesn't actually suck...keeps my ranches from filling up and a few of them I re purposed and put into various other lines, to improve their stats (and hopefully added the gene too).

Well this is true and is a positive to constantly having to keep culling. I guess I should say it gets very frustrating after a while and makes you want to quit out of rage I know I was getting close to doing just that, then the 5* and two 4* foals dropped....and I decided to stick through

Re purposed...hmm...I'll be doing that when I get a couple of acceptable rated Danish Warmblood foals on the ground, crossing them with either my superior Arabians or the ones on the market to get a higher GP and gold/green stats suitable for show jumping
