Welcome! After almost a year back playing HEE I feel like I'm really starting to hit my stride with my Thoroughbreds and wanted to establish a forum page to document everything! Windy Hollow is purely focused on AD Thoroughbreds, aiming for the leaderboards. I try to avoid sabino as best I can - but boy is that hard! I have several non-sabino TB color projects I'm breeding my way up; I focus on red base coats, dun, rabicano and splash - all sabino free. Forum threads I regularly update: 199 | WW-WWW TB Mares! TBLB & Shiny! Barns that may be of interest: The Boys W+ Public Broods WW Mares & WWW Mares [occasionally offered for embryo in that forum thread!] I want to keep building out my little HEE community, especially in the TB breeding world, so if you're a TBLB breeder and looking to connect shoot me a message! I'm also always interested in brood/embryo trades! |

199 Update: Probably one of my best ROs to date, and ironically my least well planned. RL has been crazy this year and so I planned 0 matches for my WWW girls. I ended up with 2 WWWs / 4 WWEs / 13 WEEs which is my strongest year to date. Both of my WWWs were fillies - a first! - and all my WWEs were chestnuts. Unfortunately my WWW freshie did not debut well. I had a feeling, as his training was lackluster, but that was my big dissapointment this RO. I woke up early and was able to snag 2 of 月 Stormrage prl 's public cover slots, and he graced me with 2 fillies: 
WWW filly, out of my #43 TBLB mare who has not given me a single W since her first colt 
EWW filly, out of a WWE wild mare from the capture event back in November. Both picked up a single copy of sabino, but with TBLB horses its so difficult to avoid at this point. 
I had a nice RF surpise when one of my single W mares threw a WWW filly with 𓆱Cömpass - without sabino too! It's the second time I've lucked out with a WWW from him off a single W mare, he's one of my go-to's every RO because of that. I had another RF surprise with a WWE out of an EEE color mare, by my TBLB stud ⍦ Tempest WWW. ⍦ Tempest WWW graced me with a stunning WWE liver chestnut tobiano colt out of a single W mare too. And then I lucked out with another red WWE colt by 月 Bearmantle prl out of a WW brood I had that reserved, only to belatedly realize she would not match well with my failed freshie.
He doesn't get a ton of love because he's boring [bay roan tobiano] BUT he is Ee Aa Tb so he can throw some surprising color! Like a lot of red as seen above! He is a solid boy when paired with a mare strong in scope, and I keep him quite cheap for a TBLB stud in the mid #20s to mid #30s at only 30k [because he is boring]! PM me for straws if you're interested!
I have a few 2nd embryos to breed yet, so I'm hoping for at least another W+ out of that. Stay tuned! |

199 | It's a wrap! Breeding is complete and it definitely was my best year to date in terms of volume of quality: W/W/W: 3
E/W/W: 2
W/W/E: 3
E/E/W: 4
W/E/E: 6
E/W/E: 11 I wanted to call out my final WWW - a buckskin pearl tobi boy 
I am really hoping his mother will debut on the leaderboards in 200, and he'll be a second TBLB stud for me 🤞 I was graced with several surprise WEE in my color breeding, which has me feeling optimistic that my herd has gained a lot of strength over the ROs. My dun program hit the lottery in 199 with: 
WEE red dun tobi no sabino colt, and... 
an EWE grullo tobiano splash white sabino brindle filly. She is only Sbsb, so I'll take the loss there. I am really hoping these two can be the cornerstone of building towards eventual WWW duns, and leaderboard duns, so a lot to be happy with! See you next RO! |
