Help with breeding for thicker legs?

[Xant’hippe]

[quote="Neon4"][/quote]

Quick afterthought:

Some Forest Horses also have thick legs. The (Belgian x Forest Horse) cross (as a cross, not a new breed) is used to make Norman Cobs. Sometimes, not often, that recipe creates an Ardennais.

This stallion is an Ardennais with good thick legs. Shorter than a Belgian and $400:

Or you might want to use the Breeds Wiki to look up draft breeds with heavy concentrations of either Belgian or Forest Horse. Looking at the pedigree of the grade horse in my previous message (StarLite's Red Sky), his ancestry includes both.

While I'm not absolutely certain, I think that to thicken a horse's legs in this game, it would be necessary to incorporate Belgian / Forest Horse lines. Anyone else out there ...?

Best again.

That's alright! I appreciate any help, and you certainly shouldn't be apologising if you can't for any reason


Here are some more, again, for anyone if they want to help

Here is my batch of babies from that one stallion (yes this means that i plan on keeping only a few of them).
If anyone wants to help my simply putting them in order of leg thickness, then i can remove all the thinner legged ponies, and work towards getting them shorter.

Thanks in advance!

Of the Ardennais crosses in "W Mares" pasture, most are just about exactly between thin and thick! Two are a little more thick than thin. Just one is markedly thick, this colt:

Of the foals in "Q Fillies 2" pasture, these have thickish-to-thick legs:

These two fillies have fairly thickish legs, not as good as the others, but you may want more broodmares:

Ardennais x Shetland Pony

Looks like the Ardennais x Shetland cross is fairly effective.

I suggest you look at both Stormchase's and my notes and think about it a little more.

Best wishes,
