I'm a member of this group now and can totally help with culling unnecessary horses. 

I just went and bought 50 or so horses of a bunch of breeds..just put in "horses for sale" from "$1000-$5000" and went through the first 3 pages. I was on the look out for inbreeding. One big one I noticed was a Trakehner named Glowstick #346844. A LOT of the Trakehners come from him and he's inbred before. Most "Zz" named Trakehners are either from Glowstick or bred with him.

I breed Paints myself, but I'm willing to help out with all breeds.

Quick Question: Do I delete these horses or just let them die from not feeding them? Is there a preference?

Ill be focusing on the Appaloosas. 

It seems, through my contests and rare outside sales or studding, there are a huge lot of Appies that have been poorly treated and now have unbelievably high nss.. Already spent 10500 just today alone to grab a few horses..

Im asking members to keep an eye out for any horses by this guy. I believe he was an Appaloosa Horse Club Christmas Wish Contest, gift horse... Hes 17 now and had 33 foals.. Im buying up any horses with him in their lines and letting them die off.


Windspuns Gift

Im also trying to buy up any Appies with my old lines in them. Unfortunately, Im limited by space right now but its a mission Im working on..

Uggg... found another one.. this guy has had 38 foals.. uggg

Windspun Bright Temptation

And this guy.. any horses with his lines... hes had 20 foals

Sorry - do not have space but if someone fancies weeding out Arabians I would be grateful.
 As of today Duquesne has had a few foals - dont know if this is a record or possible without AI = 1 4 2!!!

142  Foals!!!! Haaave mercy!! Will try to browse through arabians when time permits.. omg thats wild!!

I know, it's crazy. I found a 14 year old GV with 130 foals and is still being bred.

Account #120826 has four Appy's for sale for 5k each, all bred from Windspun's Gift and with heavy inbreeding. I don't have the funds for them so just an FYI to ya'll.

@The_Magnificent_Witch - are you sure they were up for sale? I just went to buy them and they're not for sale now.

I went to the marketplace and saw the ad of Appys for sale but it is just a jumping saddle. You might have to PM them but that is what they said.

In addition, I would like to start Culling Andalusians. They are very inbred and have such high stats.confo they are utterly pointless. Just found four stallions who have inbred lines:
Tempting Death-29 foals
Lord of Magic-35
Deathlock-37
Tourensol-36
Battle to the Death-38
If you see those names in the pedigree, snag them quick because it is really a line that needs to be cut down a great deal.

I messaged the owner of the 5 appys. Hopefully they respond and I can get them..I don't think they quite get how to put them up for sale....?? Idk

Possibly. Thank you. They are way out of my price range. Andy's ,however, are legit all over for cheap prices and have just incestous bloodlines it is mildly alarming.

WOW! Thank you so much W for the 500K! You helped me to snag eleven Andy's from a big bloodline that I'm culling! I appreciate you so much.

Sorry I've been absent from the thread so far!  You're all doing a great job! :) 

Thanks for posting what you know on the horses, Ill update the breeding lists when I'm not on my phone. 

And I'll just note to watch messaging owners and always be polite if you have to.  (It looks like the horses just came off sale, so it's cool in this case).

It all seems to be going extremely well! I'm glad all of you want to help clean up sales a bit. 

Edit: There's a Paint stud I think retired at 230ish foals. Paint the Town Dun.

I (and my Spare, Hades) am going to cull any adults available on market (with "Include horses whose owners haven't been active within the past 7 days" on). I will start with cheapest and work my way up until I am full or ran out of money that day. Occasionally, I will buy foals in this account as well. Will start tracking my numbers again since I stopped once I reached 1k lol
I will start on Nov 1st since it will be a lot easier for me to figure out my expenditures haha

I am willing to donate 200k once a month to those who need more fund for this projects. I am lazy (and busy) person so I don't have time to cull specific horses (checking for stats, conformation, lines, etc) so I am willing to help fund those who are willing to spend more money to cull a horse.
