Today I learnt an important thing in this game...

    I learnt that I should breed exceptional perfect stallions with exceptional perfect mares. Not with usual mares. Yes, probably this is a basic thing about breeding horses in this game. Probably you, more experienced breeders, know that, but I just learnt about it. Today I gelded several beautiful colts 'cause the comparison testing said that they're worse than their sire. (By the way, after this testing I have about 4,000 hbs now.) Finally, I found a colt out of exceptional perfect mare and he was...about as good as his sire. I can see some progress... At least I have a nice stud for all these young mares.

    I would recommend papering all colts and then only comparison testing ones that paper higher than their sire. This is only for C to B and B to A levels though. I breed my exceptional together and regular creates together, but I have seen people get very good results with exceptional x regular crosses.

    I've gotten A 2nd generation boys out of B x normal DHH crosses. I have even had a 2nd gen blue papered mare from a B x normal DHH cross. She's running forever in green pastures now though. It's just a matter of luck.

    With pastures, it is very possible to get high quality offspring out of exceptional x regular crosses if the mares have been enjoying the pasture for 30+ days. It can happen without the pasture bonus too - it's just less likely.

    In terms of comparison testing - I do free testing, then papering, then studs I like comparison tested against a benchmark stallion for their generation in order of how much I like their coloring/size/weight/etc. If they're not at least AGA, then they get the snip. As soon as I get my first or second AGA boy, the rest get the snip without even being tested.

    Two of those gelded colts weren't bred on a pasture. And they were gelded.

    @HiLo, I'm not an upgraded player to paper my horses.

    And an interesting fact: all of my horses are from DHH Rank Special, Rank 5 or Rank 4. Studs are exceptionally perfect. So all foals are just out of exceptionally perfect stallion x Rank 4 or higher mare. That non-gelded colt was out of pasture breeding: exceptional producing appy stallion x Conversation Hearts RS mare. So exceptionally perfect x exceptionally perfect = foal as good as sire.

    You know, I'd test all of pasture colts, however I have no money for that. Maybe later.

    only comparison testing ones that paper higher than their sire


    There is no reason to do this. You know higher papered colts are better so it just wastes money.
    Need to contact me? Read this first.

    I sometimes get busy and miss things. If your private message, question, etc. gets missed please ping me so I can follow up with you. I am also always happy to explain or clarify. (HAJ does not have a customer service email, please send me a forum message! )
