  • Welcome ClassicCreations. You can spay/geld by clicking on the horse, then clicking the control panel tab at the top. The option will be in the list on the left side. It will ask you to confirm after clicking Spay/Geld.

  • Ok I have a quick question since I've been gone for awhile I noticed a couple horses that I bought have a chimera gene, what is that? Is it passable to offspring if bred together?
  • It is but it's pretty rare. I specifically breed for chimera and have gotten 3 passing with another handful snipped.

  • ok thank you I was curious
  • Hello, I'm new today! I own two horses IRL, plus what amounts to a small "zoo" of dogs, birds, and reptiles! I don't understand much about the game yet - the FAQ is a little overwhelming - but I'm trying to just jump in and figure things out!

  • Hi PagetFPF09! Welcome to the game! The learning curve can be pretty steep when you first start, so give yourself permission to just poke around for a bit while you learn the ins and outs of how it works. People here and on the forum just LOVE to help new players, so please don't be afraid to ask ANY question. The only stupid question is the one that hasn't been asked!

  • Thanks Confluence, I'm slowly getting the hang of things... Can you tell me what a "bootstrap" is? I keep seeing that but haven't quite figured it out yet.

  • Oh, good! Because I don't know if I could explain it right, myself! I haven't tried it, but then again, I've been playing over a decade and don't need to get high pointed show horses fast! I usually refer people to the main forum with the bootstrapping questions! :)

  • Is there any place to share a picture of a horse I created with a picture of a hose I used to own? I'm so excited - i's so close and is one of my 1st creations. Not really exciting genetically but a good show gelding & makes $$!

  • @ClassicCreations, you are welcome to post pictures! That topic would probably fit best under the HAJ Discussion category on the main forum. You do have to find an image hosting site like Imgur to up load the pictures, then just paste a link on your post.

  • Greetings. I found this site by looking for genetics games, as I have played other genetic games, like Fish Tycoon and Plant Tycoon. I like that keeping track of everything is done in the game, so I don't need to make another spreadsheet. I think that I am focusing on drafts and pintos/paints and am trying to spend money wisely. What is a pasture bonus? I liked horses a lot when I was younger but have not ridden in years.

  • Pasture bonus means horses have a higher chance of being good breeding quality i.e 'passing'.

    I'm trying to move my herd toward heavy bones too however it is important to note that fewer players buy draft so that's something to keep in mind.

  • Hi Treble, welcome! Mares that live in the pasture earn a bit of a breeding bonus every day for up to 30 days. They will retain that bonus until the evening game rollover to the next day. After that you can put them back in the pasture, but they will start over earning the bonus. The pasture bonus trade off is that, while they keep their showing points, mares in the pasture cannot show, so they cannot increase their showing bonus.

  • @ConfluenceStable My only problem with imgur is sometimes there is content that cotains swears because you never know how old some people are in a online game.

  • Hey everyone! Completely new and trying to read guides etc. to figure out the game. Chat/forum has been helpful but still trying to find the best way to get started.
  • @ElvenEquestrian it was easy for me to figure out but it takes time to get used to it

  • Hi @ElvenEquestrian! Welcome to the game. I've put a couple horses up for sale in my chat room you might like, based on your email address! (Let me know if you need help figuring out how to get to the chat room.)

  • @ConfluenceStable Thank you! I adore them <3
  • I have a question about fantasy horses. I have been looking in search to compare prices of different horses etc. but find when looking for many fantasy horses for breeding or sale nothing comes up. I know for some you have to have a license but I am interested in Nexus specifically and I don't believe you need one for that. I know I have seen some that players have listed in chats so are they not able to be posted publicly or am I not able to search for it?
  • Hmmm....I think something is up with the search. Let me check it out.

    ConfluenceStable- HJ1 ID#235298 * ConfluenceFarms- HJ2 ID#1998 * ConfluenceRanch- HJ3 ID#15
  • Ok, thanks. When I just do a general search they all come up, over 2k pages, but when I put for breeding or sale there are 0 results. Auction does come up though.
  • What are your search parameters? It may be that it’s too specific and there aren’t any horses available that meet your criteria.

    Though I also looked in the search using only “X: Must have” for the widest parameters possible, and I think there’s simply not any listed for stud/brood or for sale. It still early in the month though and more horses get listed as the month progresses! So it may just be that there’s not any listed yet :)

  • Those were my parameters as well. I searched yesterday using the same and a horse was listed in a chat group with x for breeding. Will those not show up in search? Also, when I search "Hide non-fantasy gene horses" and "for sale" it will say there are 375 pages in the search but only one horse comes up on the first page. It says it's #19 for the listing but I can't see any of the others listed. When I go to next 25 horses only one shows on that page as well.
  • @elvenequestrian You can't list the open fantasy genes on public sale, you have to auction or put them in buddy chats. I'm about to breed my pastures so if you can hang on a day or two I tend to give away my cast offs there are usually some passing nexus and ice colts that I don't want.

  • Yep, that's your answer. From the boss: Nexus can't be put for sale or public breeding. It's a restricted gene. :P

  • @crazysnakelady You will have to wait for it to appear on the Roving Gene Sale. The genes change up on the 1st and 15th of the month. Here are the current genes for sale:

  • So it costs real money?

  • Yes, it usually costs anywhere from $5-15 per gene. I’m not sure of the exact cost for Wrong Warp.

  • Hi! I am really enjoying the game and still learning! I have a Shiba Inu named Vladimir that is my Emotional Support Animal!

  • Hi, @Taps63! Welcome to the game. You had me confused for a second...I thought you had the wrong thread, but you DID join a year ago. Happy Anniversary!

  • My original account was created in August last year. I've always been kind of a stickler for not paying for small games (think phone app games), but after I did the few months of basic for only a few dollars, I got sucked in and have had a premium account ever since. I still can't spend real money for fun genes, but I don't find myself lacking. I just wish this game had existed when I was a super color gene obsessed teen/young adult.

    I'm 35, have a farm, and these days am farther into dairy goats than my horses, but I'm ok with that.
  • Jumping on board this whole introducing-yourself-a-year later wagon, since the game is prompting me to do so. I love how well this game suits a busy adult life and doesn't require silly things like "grooming" or "mucking stables!" Looking forward to another year. :)
