Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
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.
All new threads must be approved.

Beautiful! A horse like that which had patches or spots would be something I'd cover for my own breeding program :)
Is feathers a requirement? I have a few that will have spots that I could sell!! Otherwise I can breed arabella to a stud of your choosing :)
Yeah I'm looking for feathers. If the studs I own, I'd pick Maculate Swan as the best for Arabella, but he's not a pure thoroughbred.

If you want a thoroughbred colt you can choose whether to keep, Northern Chip would be a good choice currently up for stud

Cody also would be a reasonable choice

Or Regal Excel

And then this crazy-looking Speckled Midnight is a great choice for any feathered TB mare

Check out the guys!! I'm selling 90% of my horses to focus on chincoteagues! And you would definitely put them to usage :)

I looked through these and there are some very nice ones, but it seems like age wasn't really taken into account when pricing them? Like, The Death Defying Risk is a beautiful mare with good stats, but she is already 17.5+, so I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near 200k worth of foals out of her in the remainder of her breeding life. I would offer below 20k but I don't want to insult you since she's obviously worth more than that to you.

Lord Prairie is a better age and better stats for my project. I don't really need more studs with a graying gene, but he's worth 10k to me.
