Sadly I don't think it would be put in the GMT lab.. fantasy genes will always cost money.

You could buy lined horses from auction and build that way. Some people will cull their nice lined foals just because they have too many of that particular color or it missed a particular gene needed to pass the cut. Several excellent breeding ponies have been acquired that way for me. Just add nexus to your search criteria when looking for auction horses and it will bring up all horses in the auction that carry at least one copy of nexus. It might be hard to be picky on colors/age/gender/and so on this way though but still useful if you are willing to work with what is avaliable.

You could also shop for or borrow a nexus stud you like and use that to proliferate nexus into your herd. Depending on stud used and how many copies of nexus they have (1 or 2), you'd have a chance at 100% heterozygous nexus (if a homozygous nexus stud is used) or roughly 50% heterozygous nexus foals, 50% non carrying foals (if stud used is heterozygous). If you put the heterozygous nexus foals back to each other (or back to sire if you aren't picky about even breeding) for chances at 3rd generation homozygous nexus foals. That is another way of building a nexus herd.

As a last resort, it is 7.50$ per copy of nexus.. possibly could put nexus on a foundation boy you like then you'll have that boy for the rest of his breeding career and make all the nexus babies you want :-) Again, following the same statistics as above.

I don't have nexus on a boy (I think- will look) otherwise I'd offer you a breeding loan so you can add nexus to your herd. It really is such a pretty gene- there needs to be more nexus love!

I hope this is helpful! Best of luck in building your nexus herd!

Depending on whether you’re intending to breed unevenly, I have a hom Nexus stallion (unevenly bred) that I can send you straws from for 1hb, once he’s of age :) or just put him up for stud for you once he’s done with my small Nexus pasture! Let me know :)

This is him:

Thank you both.

@WingedEagel88 you’re welcome! I got some help with my first big herds, and I am just passing the love along :) I hope he’s an excellent foundation stud for you!

I have some nexus in auction- I went through my barns culling yesterday and a lot of what I have in there is breeding age. I know I have a really nice A papered stallion in there that I wasn’t going to use (he’s also got KitM and het ice 1), plus a few mares with some fancier genes like S+, liver, and ice 1. I also have another A papered stallion in there as well. Both boys have PT of 11.40.

If you want some straws from my hom foundation - I will give you as many as you want a pull price :)
