Breeding?
-
I am wanting to go in another direction with my breeding program. I am wondering if I can breed my warmblood stallion to my sport pony mares and get sport ponies instead of warmbloods? I want to go strictly sport ponies. What is the simplest gene to breed for first? I am wanting to learn all of them but want to start out slow and then add different genes into my line. My end result is to breed homozygous rabicano sport ponies. I want to learn the basics before I add this complex gene to my ponies. I hope this makes since.

You can breed warmbloods to ponies and get ponies, but it's not absolutely guaranteed. (You can breed ponies to ponies and get warmbloods occasionally, too.) Whether they're listed as WB or SP depends on their height, naturally, and when you breed there's an element of randomness to how tall the resulting foal will be.
Rabicano is a pretty easy gene. Horses that are heterozygous for it (listed as Rbrb or rbRb) have a 50/50 chance of passing it onto a foal. If you breed two heterozygous horses together, they have a 50 percent chance of having a foal with one copy of the gene, a 25 percent chance of the foal having two copies of the gene, and only a 25 percent chance of the foal not getting rabi at all. (Actually this is how all of the genes in the game work when it comes to heredity, or 'breeding for' the gene. Some genes are lethal in their homozygous form, or when they have two copies.)
