This will be very helpful for me. Thanks!!!! XD

Quarter Horse:

1. What age do you like to buy at best? Not important to me, I'll buy them at 0 or 20 ages tomorrow.

2. How many stats do you like to buy at? For foundations 100 + 35 for each year, for second gens 350 + 35 each year, and for third gens 500 + 35 each year. I don't buy extremely long lined horses unless I know the breeder has a no inbreeding rule similar to my own.

3. What conformation do you prefer? 50+ but I'll easily over-look poor conformation for a good statted or colored horse.

4. What colors do you like best? I don't buy based on color name, but genetics. I prefer brown bases (At), black bases (E? aa) and Chestnut carrying no bay (ee aa) to any horse with (A?, the exception being AAt which I will buy in a heartbeat). I like any of the dilutes (f, Cr, Z, D, Ch) but flaxen is my favorite because it is very rare and all of the markings (Rb, Rn, T, Sb, O, Sp). I will buy grey horses at the same price of any other horse, homozygous horses too. I will not buy a homozyous white horse (WW) but will buy a heterozyogus one (W?).

5. What gender do you prefer? If the horse has never had foals it doesn't matter; but if they have I tend to prefer mares over stallions.

6. What markings do you like best? I love tobiano (TT) so even though (T?) isn't my favorite I'll buy it for the chance at a (TT) horse. I also like roan, sabino, and splash (SpSp or Spsp; but I think the double splash is prettier).

7. Anything else? The most important thing to me is clean peedigrees. No deleted horses and no inbreeding; I also prefer horses without my own lines in them (not because they aren't gorgeous, because they typically are, but because I want to avoid inbreeding horses so avoiding my own lines helps). Also I won't buy a horse with Mesa lines or SHS Havanna 6/6 lines; both of those two horses appear in the pedigrees of horses that I just avoid them.

1. What age do you like to buy at best? I'll buy any age.

2. How many stats do you like to buy at? Depends on the generation amount and horse. The more stats the better, but if the horse is young with a good pedigree I'll buy at any stats over 100

3. What conformation do you prefer? 55+ or higher. the higher the better

4. What colors do you like best? My favorites are sable champagnes of any form (creams, dun, etc.) perlino, perlino dun, creamello, creamello dun, smokey cream, smokey cream dun, Moreno, u

5. What gender do you prefer? usually mares.

6. What markings do you like best? Roans of all kinds, splashes, tovero

7. Anything else? I'll usually buy any with unique colors if they aren't inbreed or related to all my horses.

Thanks! This is going to help me a lot. XD

Quarter Horse:

1. What age do you like to buy at best? 3 or younger

2. How many stats do you like to buy at? I don't care about the total but the non-specialty stats have to add up to 50 or less because I want my horses to be competitive in shows.

3. What conformation do you prefer? above 60 with no awfuls

4. What colors do you like best? anything except gray

5. What gender do you prefer? mares

6. What markings do you like best? it kinda depends on the colors

7. Anything else? Please no inbreeding, and the specialties I'm looking for with QHs are endurance, jumping, racing, and western. I have several foundy stallions waiting for breeding partners!

SueHeck: I do western with my QHs so yeah. XD I've been doing my own lines lately but I might start breeding not in my own lines.

Quarter Horse:

1. What age do you like to buy at best? Usually 0-3, sometimes older if I need an older pair.

2. How many stats do you like to buy at? As high as possible. Preferably 300+.

3. What conformation do you prefer? Doesn't matter at all to me.

4. What colors do you like best? Duns and champagnes, color isn't hugely important to me because I can always change it if needed.

5. What gender do you prefer? Doesn't matter.

6. What markings do you like best? Any, really. Splash more than others

7. Anything else? Must have clean lines, I really only look for foundation. Also can't have foals for me. :p

Thanks Pistol! XD

Miniature Horse

1. What age do you like to buy at best? I buy at 10 and younger, unless I forget. :P

2. How many stats do you like to buy at? I buy horses pretty much any grade higher than N2, unless it's a horse I really like.

3. What conformation do you prefer? NO Awfuls, unless I love the horse, and I will almost always turn away a horse with 5 or more Poors, but that's about it.

4. What colors do you like best? Oh no, don't get me started. Grullo, Chestnut, Palomino, Dunalino, Smoky Black, Dunskin, Brown Dun, Smoky Black Dun, Seal Brown Cream, Buckskin, and Dunskin!

5. What gender do you prefer? Either one is fine with me, but I don't like geldings.

6. What markings do you like best? Tovero and Sabino.

7. Anything else? Nope!
