Hey! I’m glad you’re back, it’s good to see you again! I recently came back too! So what I did was salvage what I could from what was still alive, discard the lines that didn’t have enough to keep going, snip a whole load of stuff and create a solid handful of ponies and buy a handful of pointed creates to help boost my dying show herd, and then from there decided what I wanted to do, whether that was continue some lines or start clean.

Personally, I condensed about five of my lines into my bootstraps, and only kept two other lines. A rehaul of barn organization was helpful too. I also had enough IVs stored up from checking in every so often that I was able to pick up a new 1000 stall barn that I plan to fill with more show ponies.

Then I sorted what was in my freezer (I’m selling a ton of hoarded straws from old goodies right now) and implanted a few embryos.

As of right now, everything is in order and I’m more or less fresh and ready to continue. Only thing left to do is sort through my show ponies to sell off the older leveled off ones in auction, and I have plenty of space so that’s something I can take my time with.

Once you’ve decided what you want to breed for, let me know if I can be of help! I’d be happy to give you plenty of straws and eggs, and some show ponies too!

I'm happy to provide some show ponies and potentially some breeding stock, depending on what you choose to breed again! Just shoot me a message. :)

Welcome back!

Ask around for available ponies with fun genes on them. Feel free to look through my barns. I have a bunch of studs that I probably won't use.

Welcome back Best Friend! I have missed you! If there is anything I can help you with just let me know. My barns are a handful of chaos because of life and kinda half doing everything on here for about a year... But let me know if there are spells you would like for show barn or non spells you would like me to test to see if they are worth breeding.

Thanks guys. It has been a hectic few days here for me. Then last night my horses got out so had to wrangle them up. I am entering everyone I can in shows and working on getting my hbs back up to where they were. I am slowly moving through my barns and seeing who I nees to save. My one line that I am concerned about is my Halloween Dancer and 4g Joeys Dream descendants.

I feel like I'm starting over. I'm putting all my GMT work into 3 lines of Creamsicle, Cherry Drop and Freaky Friday mares and I'm not replacing my foundation mares in pasture. I want to straw breed my foundation studs to dream mares and just do Gen 2 and up in pasture.
I'm hard culling studs this season and I'm pulling mares from pasture for sorting and culling before I breed them. Hopefully that will make pastures more manageable in the future.

I’m in the process. I play with various cycles of intensity if that makes sense and recently was away from most of my accounts for the longest break ever. Surprised to find so many very old horses still in the barns to be honest! So I’m just sorting them all together in one barn and culling through what was left of the breeding lines, seeing what’s salvageable. I’ll probably combine some of what’s left into kind of a “legacy line” and get a new fancy herd sire to start new.
