I have a question for maximum clarification on horse generations!!
Assuming one was determining generation by amount of parents it takes to count back to an adoption center horse in the pedigree tree, then what generation would a horse be considered if its parents were an adoption center horse and, let's say, a fourth generation horse?

Would that offspring be considered 2nd generation because one parent was adoption center/first gen or 5th generation because the other parent was fourth gen?

The offspring would be 5th Gen. :)

The longest line in your horse's pedigree is what you want to count.

If any part of the horse's pedigree is longer than 6 generations, that horse will not qualify for this challenge.

Could I clarify something as well? I have adoption center mares, however the stallion I'm using is a mixed stallion(a different breed, mixing in some better genes/higher GP/and greens). He is a [+4] full blood(another breed) but it took many generations to get that full blood stallion. Would that count for this challenge? Does it only count the 4 generations he has been full blood or does every generation up to the adoption center have to be counted? (if so that would be a very long line...)
