HGG Community Forums

Im a bit nervous/embarrassed to share mine in case its bad. But since no one else has posted yet I guess ill give it a shot. I tried to phrase it as preferences/hopes/help to avoid phrasing of demands of what I want. And its not quantitative leaving it open to their abilities and hopes was my goal. So I tried to make it more a hollisitc picture so no one feels stuck in a box.

I am level 3

Papers Preferences (less strict for eras 12 or newer):
Blue/A by 2G
Star by 3G
Gold by 4G
General Preferences
Drafts or Riding Horses: Prefer these types, though I'm more flexible, especially for newer eras and older generations.
Breeding Quality: Prefer even-bred unless it's newer eras and higher papers.
Max Paper: Max possible paper from the newest possible eras.
Gaps in Coverage: I have some gaps across eras but I haven't had time to figure out which specifically yet.
Color Preferences
Color Genes: Sooty, DP, aa, Dun, Silver, Classic Champagne, Grey Regulator
Pattern Genes: Double KIT genes (except W1, W2, W20), Appaloosa, Big Spots, No Varnish
Closed Genes: Prefer as many closed genes as possible on every horse. I have all closed gene licenses
Current Priorities: Pearl, tobiano, mushroom, and closed genes that don't cover base coat
Actively Hoping For
Help With My Era 16 Stallion
Actively working to perfect my Era 16 stallion.
Soul Mate is Here (Era 16 Stallion)
Currently Era 15; planning to use a token to upgrade to Era 16.
Focus areas:
Satin (if possible)
Snowflake, KP, everything
Homozygous Tiger Eye
As many closed genes as I can afford (Preference given to mushroom and things that don't cover up his base coat)
Era 16 Stock
The main priority is finding 50 mares for my Era 16 stallion:
Must be perfect foundation Era 16.
Breedable by December (4YO).
General preferences apply (e.g., closed genes, ideal colors, patterns).
Suggestions for HH's include but are not limited to:
Black Tobiano Rabicano mares
Black Tobiano Appaloosa Rabicano mares
Unique mares with extra qualities
Silver pocket watch
Pearl (slightly higher priority because it's rarer and must be homozygous to show)
Grullo Appaloosa
Dark Red Dun
Eggs from someone with a fancy mare would also be appreciated.
Prefer draft mares to match my stallion.
Mares for Micro Hart (Era 15 Stallion)
Micro Hart (Era 15 Stallion Link)
Exceptional producers
Prefer tobiano pattern (stallion has tobiano shatterglass), but otherwise standard preferences apply
Eggs with mushroom, chinchilla, or platinum would be amazing
Embryos
I would LOVE tons of embryos!
I have over 200 surrogate mares in my pastures, so it’s easy for me to implant embryos and get great prospects without hunting for matches.
Potential embryo ideas include (but aren’t limited to):
Futurity embryos
Closed gene embryos
RH Era 16 embryos
Star*** embryos
Embryos for a 2G Era 16 riding horse prospect
Embryos vs. Mares: Prefer embryos over mares since I’m too busy with school to flush mares right now. Eggs are also preferable over live mares (mostly referring to high-quality mares).
Less Important Hopes
An Era 16 riding horse foundation. Originally I was thinking stallion but now I think I’d prefer a mare and ill just outcross. :D.
Futurity foals/junior horses (not gonna say no to futurity stock 2-5haha)
Adult show horses (aged 5+) as I have a big gap where I didn't play for a while
"Bulk" mares in general. Can never have too many mares (but not ones where it's tragic if I don’t have time to flush them).
Small amount of unique, or futurity, or closed gene futurity prospect stallion
I dont know how someone COULD help me. I dont think there’s a way. But ill mention it anyways. If there’s a 50% off sale Im hoping to get myself a 1000 stall barn or 100 mare pasture.
Even if something doesn’t fit my needs well, but it would support a new player in some way Ill be happy to give the horse a home! Or just try to source from new players in general. I know its hard with my tastes in closed genes and strict papers, but even a show horse bought from a new player

Level 3

Happy Gift Exchange! This is going to be so much fun! ♡

I have several projects going and one that's at a standstill until I sort out my mare lag issue, so should be lots to choose from. I, in no way, expect something from everything listed here, I'm just trying to give tons of options :)

General Preferences
1. Even generational breeding
2. Lined horses must test Superior
3. No frame, very little splash (except fantasy)

Projects

1. Rooster Line
-Onyx/onyx or Onyx/D
-DFP2 (het. or hom.)

-hom. Platinum
-any bone weight, but draft preferred
-up to Gen 6

2. KP/GP
-hom for both KP (1 or 2) and gp
-hom E/E

-(I know this project is a stretch, so no biggie if it's a no go ♡)

6. Show Ponies
-anything goes
-The older the better (love me a geriatric)
-flashy works too, I love them all!

Icing on an already extravagant cake would be any of the following, though none of them are expected ♡
-BC tokens for the East Bulgarian Warmblood
-Dirty Days herd helper (draft preferred, but I'll take any I can get. They're gorgeous!)
-barns or pastures
-Straws, eggs, or embryos for my lines
-fancy fantasy foundation stallion (say that three times fast)
-fancy Chimera snowflake foundation stallion
-candy ponies
-anything you think is cute and needs a good forever home


Again, this list is just to give options to hopefully make shopping easier! I'll love any and everything you send my way! Thank you so much!

Ooh I’m learning things even as not a new player. My lists are so ramble-y like in talking to my giver :)) might have to go in and make it more like these ones!
