For me a good showing horse is all that's really important. That means higher stats and low NS. Nothing else matters much. I have both foundation lines that I've started from scratch when I joined back in the spring and I have some lined horses that I've picked up from other players and bred in with my horses.

I only have one breed in two disciplines 

Dutch Warmbloods - Show Jumping & Dressage

I could really use more fellow breeders on the dressage front! I'm virtually all by myself at the moment with very few to no good horses to buy or breed to.

I've got a ton of dressage Fresians and a few show jumping Trakehners and endurance Arabians for sale on my alternate account.  All have non-discipline stats under 60, even if they are foundations.

All I know is that most of my Andalusians have conformation of 98+, most are now at International 3 level of dressage, and I own many of the current All Breed, All Time highest stats and highest conformation horses in the Hall of Fame.

I can't find outside horses to breed to that have the lower non specific stats I want AND the conformation I demand in my breeding stock.

If conformation is of so little value, why is it even given a score?

Why value high stat, low non-specific stat horses  with several "poor" conformation scores over a high conformation (almost all "perfects") with high stats but maybe not as great non-specific stats? I can't see where a horse with poor conformation should be able to out-perform a horse with great conformation competing at the same level, especially since that won't happen in the real world?

My horses don't sell, so I no longer offer them for sale. 
I no longer offer my stallions for stud, no one will use them.

The beauty of this game is that we all can play as we choose, and I would not want that to change for any reason.

Rancho SoCal, I am looking for dressage Andalusians with non-discipline stats in the low 50s, preferably below 50, and while I'm not specifically looking for high conformation, it is a definite plus!  I have multiple horses in the 70-90 conformation range currently.

I can't guarantee being able to buy every horse you want to get rid of, but I am definitely very interested.  I've only started up this new project in the last few weeks.  I intend conformation to be my next goal, after I reach my non-discipline stat goals, so this will only help me in the long run.  I hope we can start collaborating, if it interests you!
