Alright, so I have this nice pair of foundations that I'm wanting to breed to start a new line, once they're old enough. I'm considering giving the male a +5% breeding boost, but the one thing that has me hesitating is the effect on testing the foals. Now, obviously him being better will mean the standard that they're judged by is higher, and that's fine. I'm cool with a greater proportion of foals not making it through testing.

My concern is that the 5% boost will put a big enough distance between them that none of the foals will make it through testing. Could the effect from it be that big, or am I worried about nothing? They're both from the same Rank Special, so right now their quality should be roughly equal.

A 5% boost should get him roughly at a B papered RS level. I breed B RS to regular HHs all of the time and, while I probably do also get a higher rate of altered offspring, I also get better quality. A B/yellow cross can result in low A/blues at second gen, if you're very lucky.

Here's one of my girls from such a cross. Expect a lot more B/Red compared to A/Blue though

Perfect, thank you! (Also, that mare is gorgeous)
