Here’s my two current favorites for my snow line - I’m a big sucker for the snf/kp/dp combo!


Paperweight


The Timekeeper

And a couple foals:


2SK Catching Time


2SK Crystal Paperweight (With ice 8, don’t mind that)

And here’s some of my “older style” that the line has been so far, which does have fantasy in the form of ice 8 but that would be easy enough to exclude. Sooty+ over silver black is a really stunning combo.


2SK Crystal Timepiece

I also have some with pearl


3SK True Cold Speck


4SK 8944773


If you really find joy in fantasy though, go for that! You’re not obligated to go for the era leaderboards when you can just as easily go for the fantasy leaderboards, so that’s always something to consider - breeding for colors that make you happy instead of just aiming to win :x

If you’re going no fantasy genes, I’m a huge fan of KP, DP, S+, satin and Kit M in combination. However, if you want to breed for KP and keep your herd dark, it does mean you need a herd of mares that are at least hom Sooty and have two Kit pattern genes. I avoid W20 in addition to those requirements as well as Splash, as both end up whiting out my future generations and Splash contributes to Kit Lethality.

Day of the Moon ExP DPKPY
The amazing Day of the Moon who started me down this path with my KP herd. I have a son of his in my gen 2 herd from a long hoarded straw and am loving mixing that molten gold back into my lines.

I keep my KP line entirely open genes. My GP line is also DP and sooty. I’ve changed my goals in the line several times over the years, mixing in onyx and then letting it go, mixing in appy and snowflake and then letting them go (I hate my ponies whiting out as they age—it’s cool if it’s just a few, and early snowflake I think is awesome! But I don’t like opening my all 12 year old mares just to have them go completely or nearly white.). Anyway, this is my current foundation for the line. I wish I had added DFP to him, but other than that he’s just about perfect for me for right now. I’m sure I will end up with something a little different when he ages out. Maybe P+? And I think it’s time for me to have a wild bay boy again. I love their cherry red with the DP.


1Sunny Daze ExP JDFAtDYqy

Strangely, if I could have any “normal” colored horse in the game come to life to be my own horse, Sunny Daze is about what I would want. I have always adored a buckskin and dreamed of owning one. And this guy looks both sturdy and kind, what the 40year old ex-rider I am would need! He would promptly have that mane trimmed back though!

He’s technically a DP S+ brown dun, not a buckskin. But he’s exactly the colour I always dreamed I would have someday,

Chocolate Palominos are definitely one of my favs color wise, and super dark Liver Chestnuts. I'm obsessed with flashy white markings too, Sabino 2, KitM, Kit Promoter 2 are my favs.

And I would love to start a line with a foundation stud similar to this guy:

BS Heimdalls DisDain

If your boys are ever available for straws I would love some! :x

My stud style is DARK liver chestnut or chocolate palomino (if brindle usually half blue roan for some reason) with p+ usually. But I always through other stuff in there like GP, KitM, S+, prl and then I have fantasy studs
This stud is my baby he has 1 fantasy gene - shamrock

Not By The Moon
The sabino on TDH gives gorgeous foals

The Devil Himself
Really love the p+ it makes the coat colors pop I swear

Rise From The Ashes
KitM and Chocolate. So pretty. Should not have left him brown because I really don't breed for that but its fine

Dark Chocolate Latte
My tiny king so cute foals he gave me were super tiny an cute

Crimson King
Pretty much everything I'm breeding for right now. P+, liver, pearl, sabino, gp, kitm and satin

Seattle Slew
Newest fantasy boy ice 10 and 19 very excited for him

Something Like Firee

I have other studs but these fit what I'm really into

Love him! One of my favorite studs is a silver grullo <3

Lothario is stunning!

It is the Varnish Regulator 2 that is significantly contributing to shrinking his spots. You sacrifice solid spot size for that nice halo.
I think Lp Promoter also affects spot size in some way but you can't currently see or adjust that on a foundation horse. Just on lined horses.
