Well you have a couple options.

The first one which you already stated you weren’t very interested in.

The second option would be to breed his daughters to his sons, some of the 3g foals will have the genes you’re wanting others wont, it may take a couple generations to get to Hom Sat/Choc.

The third opinion would be to try to find a colt someone else bred that has the genes you want. Ideally one who is hom Satin and Chocolate, next would be Hom for Chocolate and Het satin, or Hom satin Het chocolate. Personally I’ve done this in my lines and it gets results faster then the second option.

The forth option would be to try to buy eggs or embryos from a mare who is a good match for your stud, or creating a mare for him yourself. Granted this is the most expensive of the options so may not work for you at the moment.

I hope that gives you some ideas. :)

To add to Haltanny's advice, it only costs 1 GMT to add any missed gene on a lined horse, rather than the 15 or 20 that chocolate and satin cost to put on a foundation.
