Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience using this hypomating software. I've only recently discovered it. It seems to be a pretty good tool. The only thing is that there is a limited number of stallions offered for a free mate. It has given me an other perspective on trends that work for my mare.

If anyone has had experience using it, please share your opinion. If you haven't and are curious, here is the link: http://www.g1goldmine.com/.

Thanks.

I have it, and like it, and use it a lot. The developer Leo Tsatsoronis is a great guy. I met him, and his family, when we were both guest speakers at the CTBA Harris Farms seminar in 2007.
Well worth your investment.

There are actually 2 products. The online version is free, but for only stallions who subscribe.

You pay for the software, but can 'build' a stallion by putting his ancestors in the 'variables'. That way you can do a relatively decent job in matching with stallions who have not been subscribed.

Leo Tsatsoronis is indeed very generous with his time, if you get the opportunity to talk with him.

I tried using this match maker for my mare Deaconess and Stormy Jack at Harris Farms and I didnt get anything on the left. Did I do something wrong here?

Karen, did you click on "Match Similar Pedigrees" on the left, under the logo? The list is not automatically genereated when yo uenter the mares name.
