Can I get some assistance deciphering game lingo?
-
I am very new here and so there are a few terms I'm not yet familiar with. I would appreciate it if people could define:
DP
SMA
Meso
C or B Papered
PT
RS
Star
Also I was wondering how one knows if a baby is superior to its sire? -
DP stands for dense Pheomelanin. This is what it typically looks like. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3497669
SMA Is a testing available to players with upgraded accounts. It tells if the mare should be spayed or left intact. If mares are spayed it means they poor breeders.
Meso Is short for my A papered stallion 1a MesoAmerican http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2260113
Papering C papered means that the stallion is an average create and is not an exceptional producer. B papered means that the stud is better then a C papered but not near as good as a A papered.
Papering is a grade they receive to show quality (from lowest to highest quality)
Showable Only
C Paper
B paper
A paper
Star paper
PT Stands for Performance testing. It often creates competition among other players to reach the highest PT they can possibly breed. PT scores tell you when a horse will level off for showing. A horse with a high PT may level of in the class refered to as World while a lower PT horse will level of in the National class.
PT does not matter when you are breeding. For an example http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2511031. His PT is very low but he is an outstanding breeder by producing A papered colts. (@Raina I hope you don't mind me using your beautiful horse as an example)
Superior Comes from the test performed on colts to compare to their sires. This test is called Comparison Test . If you are lucky you will have a superior colt. Most often you will receive Good as Sire. This means that the colts is the same breeding qualities as the father.
Wild Bay Is an expression of genes using the AT gene. This is what it looks like. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2892211 More examples http://www.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?status=any&ageg=&agel=&agee=&erag=&eral=&erae=&f_basic=none&f_adv=none&tattoo=&f_limit=25&stallion=1&mare=1&gelding=1&spayedmare=1&name=Wild+Bay&name_lm=like&color=&color_lm=like&bty=1&lined=lined&foundation=1&sire=&dam=&barn=&owner=&breeder=&e1=&e2=&a1=&a4=&a2=&a3=&f1=&f2=&p1=&p2=&s1=&s2=&s3=&c1=&c2=&c3=&d1=&d2=&g1=&g2=&ch1=&ch2=&z1=&z2=&sa2=&sa1=&kit1=&kit2=&kit3=&kit4=&kit5=&kit6=&kit7=&kit8=&kit9=&kit10=&sp1=&sp2=&sp3=&pax31=&pax32=&rb1=&rb2=&o1=&o2=&l1=&l2=&ice1=&icei=&ice2=&ice3=&ice4=&ice5=&ice6=&ice7=&ice8=&brindle1=1&brindle2=1&patn1=1&patn2=1&patn3=1&patn4=1&patn5=1&patn6=1&wf1=1&wf2=1&wf3=1&wf4=1&wf5=1&wf6=1
I hope this helps you out some. Other players please feel free to add any information I missed.Post edited by Abbey98 at 2015-10-06 10:25:25 -
SMA is Strict Mare Advice, which can be found in the Mare Testing tab. Strict Mare Advice is comparable to gelding testing as it is stricter about the breeding quality of the mares that pass or fail and get altered(spayed).
At is not Wild Bay. Wild bay is a variation of the Agouti gene. Agouti is the gene which restricts black pigmentation on a horse. A normal Bay horse with Ee/EE/eE and Aa/AA/aA will have black limited to its points - legs, mane, tail, ears. Wild Bay is displayed as A+ on a horses color testing, and limits black even further than a normal A Agouti gene. At is another variation of Bay/Agouti that makes Brown horses with different restrictions on the black pigment of a horse, creating a dark body and extremities, with lighter patches of brown/bay coloring around the muzzle and barrel of the horse.Post edited by Kat8805 at 2015-10-06 10:45:15Go boldly, where no App has gone before!Thanked by 1Abbey98 -
I use RS to reference my Rank Special horses that I own that don't fit my other acronyms I use for sorting my herd. Not sure about how anyone else uses it.Go boldly, where no App has gone before!

To further clarify the variations of the Agouti gene. There are four possible alleles of agouti in the game.
A+ is the most dominant and produces the Wild Bay coloration.
http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3104751
Notice the lower legs on this bay mare. The "black" pigment is grayish and patchy. This is a good way to identify wild bay from appearance, as long as the lower legs aren't white.
A is the normal dominant agouti that produces regular bay horses, as well as Buckskins, and Amber Champagnes.
At produces brown horses and is recessive to A+ and A. A horse must be Ata in order to be brown.
http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3124629
A brown horse with no dominant Sooty.
http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2876751
A brown horse with heterozygous sooty.
http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2957112
A brown horse that is homzygous for At and for sooty. Notice that it is lighter than the other brown horses.
Horses that are AtA are bays.
Finally, a is the recessive allele for agouti and when homozygous has no effect on any black pigment the horse might have. This is why black horses must be E? aa.
