I'd like to know too. I just created an Expro White 1 Stud. Unfortunately I have no available mares right now.


Exceptional Doc

Exceptional producers are technically higher then PF horses so you will get foals who will be altered. I have a few exceptional horses as well pair with PF mares. One thing you can do to possibly help is make sure the mares have a full pasture bonus or as close as you can get. You will still get foals who get altered as with any match. You can also only run goals through BA instead of SBA. Exceptional producers are low B or low reds so in order for foals to pass SBA they have to be close to that to stay intact. If you use just BA it's a little easier on the foals and may leave more intact.

I don't want to sound like it's not possible, it absolutely is. My Nanotech stallion is a great example. He's an exceptional stallion matched with PF and regular creates. His mares have full pasture bonus and I run all foals through SBA and this year only 4 out of 30 were altered. That is not unusual for him.

This is an experiment that Ammit done. You'll be wanting to look at test 3 and test 4 for a cross between the PF and Expros. But any horse that you do get intact should have been well worth the time.
