I bred my horses http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3565343 and http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3565342 together but got no foal in the pasture, but it does say that they were both bred. I looked at the "family" tab and no foals where found

Both parents are White and Frame, so the foal was born dead, as either Frame or White's in the homozygous form are lethal, so there will be no foal showing, and you can't breed the mare again til next season.

Both parents are white frames. Both White 2 and Frame (Olw) are homozygous lethal. The foal could easily have been homozygous for one or both of these genes, and so it died.

Whenever you breed two horses with a homozygous lethal gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance of a dead foal. Since this pair both had two of these genes, that increased the dead foal possibility to 50%.

All of the Kit white patterns are homozygous lethal and lethal in combination. So are Splash 2 and Splash 3.
