...and, does a horse's daily payout increase as he gets trained? Or does a horse that starts out at 2/day stay at 2/day all its life? (didn't want to start so many threads.

Foal classes don't count because foals (yearlings) don't train.

I think it's easy enough for people to create their own ExPros and ExPerfs that you'll move them a lot faster by putting them in the auction

Daily payout is just 10.7% of the horse's number of points, so
number of points x .107

So as long as a horse is gaining points, their daily payout will keep rising- not to be confused with current lifetime payout, which is
daily payout x days until horse's 18th birthday

Horses only don't gain points when they're either not being shown or coming in dead last, so if a horse is sometimes placing anywhere above last, they will continue to add points.

Training does not increase a horse's points (or payout) directly, it increases the show score (which you can see in the horse's show records). As the score increases, the horse moves up the levels, The higher levels make more points.

You can see this happening with your horse. Foals don't train, so his score stayed the same for all of June. Then it started rising once he turned two, and he started rising through the levels.

I agree with annismyrph. He's got a decent number of points already and a nice PT for a foundation, so if you're not breeding him, geld him, and he will train faster and make you even more points!

@OopsDotCom a lot of white genes are safe pairings, I gave more information on your other thread. :)

Taliesin tattooed that on the inside of my eyelids for me. :D I'm having a hard time narrowing down the number of studs I have, but without them having produced several foals, I don't know how to decide. Given when I tried this game a number of years ago, I didn't have a clue what i was doing, bred the prettiest to the prettiest and high pt to high pt, and about all I knew was which end of a horse you put stuff in and which end of the horse stuff came out, and which end kicked and which end bit. Taliesin finally explained it in a way that I understood.

Ugh! I had everything written out, all what I've done so far and what my plans are (or lack of plans) and some questions, all in one message so I'm not spamming you, and the mouse fell and took the text with it. I'm so used to talking with my daughter by texting and just doing 1 thought or sentence at a time that I wasn't thinking what it looked like in a forum. (When you've had enough of me just say so please?)

Pearls and Chinchillas, Yes. Fairy Godmother gave me a Ex Perfect silver black. I put two chinchillas on him, and i have another that is chinchilla with hom diamond sparkle. I don't know if I want to breed the Appys for quality or for show (bootstrapping). Or split them in half and do both. I'll have to count how many mares and stallys I have.

I guess I need to find someone who is knowledgeable about both to look at my stock? Are you able to do that? It was you guys who found all those silver blacks in my barns for me. I'm gonna need another barn for the bootstrapping, and I can't afford $300 in one month for the monster barn. If worst comes to worst, I'll pack as many mares as I can into pastures and keep the rest and what won't fit in a barn or two. I also have 4 intact sea ponies. I thought keeping them intact would be a good way to save money for a rainy day. I'm going to go see how big a barn I could get.

So you would be able to GMT some lined horses that are unbred, but you can only change things within the confines of their parents' genetics. So if both parents have a copy of Pearl, you would be able to add that to a foal of theirs, but if only one parent has it, you won't be able to because there's nowhere that horse could have gotten that copy. GMTing earlier in your lines will lead to more horses that are within your standards for your line.

That's why I try to make sure my foundation liver stallions are homozygous sooty and homozygous DP, so I never have to worry about a foal not getting any copies of DP. I also try to mostly just keep the homozygous babies anyway, so it's helpful that my early horses have it.

I personally have bought horses that are a couple generations down, because I have the mushroom license but I only put it on a stallion and a mare, so I needed to be sure I would have more mushroom later on in my lines to keep it going, cause it only shows if it's homozygous.

OopsDotCom Never! We never get tired of people asking questions! Ask as many as you want to, this is a complicated game ;)

All the potentially dangerous genes will show up in a genetic test, no "hidden" gene can hurt anything.

Here's all the KIT genes (white spotted, sabino, tobiano, roan) and their no-no crosses:

I recommend saving that pic to your computer for future reference.

You also want to avoid frame x frame, splash 2 x splash 2 or splash 3, splash 3 x splash 3.

But! There are some people who cross dangerous genes all the time and don't mind too much (if you're pasture breeding you're really only out 500 if you don't get a foal). And even people who are always careful, like myself, mess up sometimes. I've lost 3 or 4 foals since I started. It sucks but you won't get in trouble!

if you search for "bronze" the bronze age horses are pearls and am sure some of them have been RGS'ed lol

i put "bronze in tattoo and none came up for sale or for auction :( I'm so hopeless at search. I can search my own horses for ones I know I have and nothing comes up for 3 or 4 tries

I found some het pearls... i may try breeding them to a hom pearl and see if i can get a hom foal. Is that logical?

if one wants to keep breeding even generations, wouldn't you need a stallion for each generation?

@ Xzeina ... Ooh Ooh where?

also you can still LOOK and see what the genes look like without buying it 0.o just search " any" and put "bronze" in the tattoo space ; that way you ll be able to see a ton of different ones

Xzeina did anyone buy that bronze age horse?

That horse was being auctioned 5 months ago.

If no horse is found with that ID# then they have been sold back to the game and purged from the system
