breeding advice fixing all 11 of my foals this season. coincidence?
  • so I know I don't pay as much attention to the paper levels, eras and such as some of you or maybe as much as I should. most of it is confusing to me, when choosing a horse to breed to I look for higher grades and paper levels and colorings I like. So far this season I've bred 11 foals. As with every horse I get I do the breeding advice first, and all 11 have been spayed/gelded. Is this just a coincidence or am I doing something wrong? I've no interest in showing and have never had such bad luck.

  • Someone can probably explain this better but
    To get highest chance of intact foals you need to try closely match the parents so when breeding foundation horses match a c papered stallion to a yellow papered mare a B papered stallion to a red papered mare and A papered stallions to blue papered mares and try match tge generations as well uneven generations will be harder to get intact foals
  • Uneven generations has nothing to do with intact foals. Pairing even breeding abilities, despite their generation levels, is the most important thing to keep in mind if breeding for intact foals. As Stacey said, paper level pairs are C and Yellow, B and Red, A and Blue, Star and Gold. There are however varying levels even within each paper level, which is where pairing even generations can be helpful to gauge how even the breeding quality is between a pair. I believe the range of quality within a paper grade grows broader the higher the paper level becomes, with Star/Gold papers seeming to be limitless in range. Even when pairing perfectly even breeding abilities, there is a wide range of outcomes a pair of breeding horses can produce, so there will still be foals that don't pass, or paper better than others from the same breeding pair.

  • The thing that stuck out to me is you have no interest in showing.. why not?

    @Kat8805 I've had better luck getting intacts with closely matching abilities and within one generation of each other.
  • @fantasyfarms, it's a bit boring. just entering into shows and possibly winning some hb.
  • Ah, it may be boring, since we never get to see them jumping, but it's the way money is made in this game. The small prize pay-outs are the least of it. Please read this discussion.

    Every night my invisibly showing horses add 324,264 hb's to my bank account. EVERY night. And the number actually increases daily a bit, as horses add more show points to their collection just by being shown.

    Of course it takes patience to reach such totals, but it can be done, slowly but surely. I have a large stable, but by no means the largest. Those of us who have gathered a thousands of horses and show most them seldom have to worry about having enough game cash. In fact, what we worry about is having too much game cash, since we're not allowed to collect more than 9,999,999 hbs in our bank accounts. So we have lots of money to buy Investment Vouchers for making fancy horses in the Genetic Modification Lab or buying additional barns, or fancy Tack Packs.

    If you want to get anywhere in this game, showing is the only way to go.

  • It’s not just about possibly winning some hb’s.

    I agree it is just mindless clicking but Every time a horse shows and places above last place they earn points. All of your horses points are combined and you get 50% of them deposited into your account every night. It’s pretty much free money that you can then use to breed more horses or buy more barns.

    I’ve been around a long time but my show horses now earn me 200,000hbs per day.

  • On server 2 Ammit recently started a contest to see how many points a barn could collect in 2 months without using any real money. Anything we got had to be earned by the weekly pay, daily show bonus or selling/auctioning horses off.

    Some players lucked out and found a bunch of high pointed horses on the sales board.

    Personally I had much better luck raiding the foundation rescue (ID# 13) for horses that were 5-8 years old and had been sitting around training but were being overlooked because they only had 3-18 points. Once I started regularly showing them (and most importantly continue training them weekly) I now have a stable full of horses with over 100 points each.

    I also searched the auctions as many times as I could and picked up as many high pointed horses as I could (although that’s relative because I’d start at the top of the points list and work my way down until I ran out of money to bid and often the last horses I bid on had 18-40 points) Again I trained and showed them weekly and except for my latest group (who haven’t had time to earn more points since then) are all doing quite well.

    My favourite is a 18 year old gelding I took a chance on the last week February figuring I’d toss him back in the last auction before March and have earned a few extra dollars. He had 18 points and by the time it was time to enter the last auction he had 120points. I kept him and a month later he now has 348 points or 37hbs/day.

    We are now in the last week of the 2 month long contest and I’ve been able to buy 2 - 30stall barns and am just a few IV’s away from being able to have enough to buy an upgrade so I don’t have to hand train everyone (which is more boring than showing but just as important) I also hold 12,209 points and earn 1,308hbs/day.
