Hello!

You're right: when you merge two horses to make a chimera, the second set of DNA will be the full genetics of the second horse.
A chimera consists of 2 DNA strands.

So for example horse 1, is EE aa To/To.
Horse 1 is your base horse.
Horse 2, the one you will merge with horse 1, is Ee AA wM/To.
The resulting chimera horse will have this on their genetics page:
Primary DNA Set:
EE aa To/To.
Secondary DNA Set
Ee AA wM/To

Would you take horse 2 as the base then the Ee AA wM/To will be the primary DNA set, and the secondary DNA set will be EE aa To/To (horse 1).

After making the chimera you have the possibility to set the Inheritance Chance per DNA set. 50/50% is standard. However, if you like the genetics from horse 1 better than horse 2 then you can set the inheritance to 100/0% or 75/25% (and vice versa).

Also, be aware that the papers and showscore of horse two will not be inherited. Horse 1 is your base, including their papers, PT score and all hidden numbers. Horse 2 that you merge into horse 1 will only give its genetics to horse 1, thus making a chimera. So pick the right horse as your base ('horse 1')!


I don't think it is refundable as the second horse that you will merge into the first will be completely gone/deleted. However, it has been quite some time since I merged two horses into a chimera myself, so I'm not 100% sure about this.


Hope this helped you out!
