I was bored and felt like picking up some cheap mares that had enough foals to be papered and papering them for fun. I found two foundation mares who fit the bill. I figured I was definitely about to waste my money (one of the mares had 3 foals and hadn't even been run through MA), but to my pleasant surprise they both papered red and threw some nice foals for me including a B papered colt that inherited his father's coloring!

Here are the mares:

And here's the colt:

What a lucky find!

Edit: just noticed that they had been bred to some higher gen. studs...which probably explains the red papers...bummer =/

Normal foundation mares, even the best of them, seem to sit on the border between red and yellow. They can go either way depending of what they throw or are put to. Doesn't really mean the reds are actually better though. Anything from the foundation rescue are the best a foundation mare can be, and plenty of them paper yellow

Yeah I was just excited that I found some that papered well when they hadn't even been put through testing :) The foundation rescue is so dangerous because you can go in with an attitude of "oh it's an investment" and end up with way too many. (case in point *points to self*)
