I got a dream horse, that I never imagined or dared that I would get. A brindle and beautiful 3rd gen filly, combining both my two favourite stallions and mares.
So of course she did not pass BA, and was spayed.
Since brindle is not something I can breed for, it is highly unlikely that I will ever get a brindle with this genetic combination again, so I wonder about your thoughts about unspaying her and give her a +5% boost. Is it worth the money it will take?

Seeing as she's a red from Blue/A parents, She could be anywhere in the threshold of the 5% between exceptionally perfect foundations and their 5% better foals.. you could use a gene mod token and unspay her, test her against her an exceptionally perfect foundation mare and a superior 2nd gen Red papered mare to see where she stands.. if she tests as good as the exceptionally perfect foundation but worse than the 2nd gen red superior mare, it wouldn't be worth boosting her... If she tests as good as the 2nd gen Red superior mare, she's right below her mom's ability and a 5% could potentially make her as good as or slightly better than her mom but it wouldnt be a high enough margin to make her superior to her mom...

I hope this makes sense X_X

If she's as good as an exceptional foundation, she could potentially boost to Blue. But they can test aga and be slightly worse. Personally I'd unspay her and compare to an exceptional foundation. If she compares as good as, I'd boost her 5%. Then paper her. If she's still red paper then only BA, not SBA. If she's worse than an exceptional you'll never get her to pass

Thank you. I think I will follow your advices on this one, and give her the benefit of being a brindle.

And she is worse than her dam, but AGA as an expro, so I will definitely give her a +5 boost. If she then still have a low breeding ability, I think I will leave her intact, and put her in a pasture.

That is one stunning filly!

If you only breed her to A-papered colts, you should be able to get a couple high quality foals from her. They probably won't be brindle, but eh. It's still fun to get a brindle in your lines!

I might add, she's a very pretty filly and worth the boost I reckon!
