She's otherwise pretty perfect for my DP line (with a few doable tweaks of course). Her dam is one of my favorite mares, so I'd be nice to keep her, since she's my only embryo foal I kept like this. But she was snipped. Her dam is red papered, so I'm not sure how much of a boost she'd need, but I think I'd be willing to do just about anything, if it was worth it. She'd be getting a boost, the missed sooty from her dam and possibly adding the missed appy, making her a leopard, when doing so.

You still have one more guaranteed season with her, I would flush the dam and see what you get and decide from there. That’s an awful lot of IVs to spend on a horse you could easily duplicate next season.

@FallenShadows714, that's quite true.
I currently have 30 something eggs from her dam, so yeah. I just didn't have any luck with the pairing that gave me this filly, which is why I was considering this, because I was hoping for a decent keeper from the pairing, without using a ton of eggs. I used probably 5ish?, and only kept this one, as she was the only one that I felt was worthy of keeping, even though she and the others didn't pass.
And another stallion gave me the same situation with the mare.

Unfortunately that’s the nature of the beast when it comes to the breeding lab. Out of 30 embryos this season, I got 3 keepers.

You might get luckier this season. I believe Ammit has adjusted the breeding lab very slightly.

@FallenShadows714, ouch! That's gotta hurt!

@ChrystalBlues, hmm... If she did, that'll be cool.

she adjusted the breeding lab this season (which is permanent) so mares have a 15 day pasture boost ;) try your luck next season

Where does she comp compared to her dam? If she’s AGA, you’re going to need the full 5% most likely to get her to Blue. Id spend the hbs to comp her if you can and go from there.

@HiddenGenetics, cool. Thanks.

@Cheers, can we not comparison test spays/gelds? She doesn't have the option.

Yup 15 days is a lot more than very slightly. It is a significant adjustment.

ChrystalBlues · May 1, 2020 4:28 AM

I only said that because I couldn't remember how much and didnt want to get Spry's hopes up too much. :))

Dinascar · May 1, 2020 5:24 AM

Wow - 15 days - that's very generous of you Ammit :)
