So I do not have time to pick a big stud for my girls this year. So I am going to hold a little competition. I have 6 broodmares as of now.
The contest is as follows:
- Pick each mare a stallion and explain why
- The contest starts now and will end November 30 at midnight EST
- Each mare will have a limit on stud fee
- I must like every stallion you pick for each mare to declare you the winner
- These rules can be changed at any time I feel nec.
