Another breed creation question
Post by Rose90067 »
So, I've been working on a breed creation project for a little while now. Sometimes I have a lot of success quickly, others it takes a longgg time lol. I've actually felt like I was having a lot of success with my recent project until my mares threw these two horses:

My previous understanding was that if I had the right breeds in the mix, and the foals were born with 4/4 eval for my target breed, I would end up with the target breed, but these two horses are exactly that (for latvian harness) but are not my target breed, they are just a mix.
Is is just that not every 4/4 eval foal will pick up the breed? Or have I messed up somewhere else? Would love to here any input on this so I can add it to my breed creation notes

Evaluations are out of 5, not 4. Sometimes 4s will turn out the resulting breed anyways, but not all the time.

Even perfectly evaluated foals are still a coin-flip whether they'll be the new breed or not. In the past, we've even had 3-star foals born of the correct breed, although that's incredibly rare.Rose90067 wrote:Okay ty! What if they are overall 5*?

But if you've had 5 star (or even 4 star) foals born from a specific pair, keep going, one of these times, your new breed will be born.

Just to second what Blackoak has said... its a game of chance. Personally, I often breed the same pair 3-4 times when attempting to create a new breed. 3 of the times you can have foals that totally miss the evaluation, and once its a hit...
