hello! i’m new

[Diamond Filly]

Welcome!

Let me know if you need anything. I'll do my best to help you (when I'm on HWO). I can supply you with grinders and champ horses if you'd like.

I don't want to load you down with advice , (I probably don't have the best advice either ) so I'd advise you to take BlackOak2's advice. They know a lot about this game and can help you with just about everything related.

Have a great day!
~Diamond Filly

Sorry for the delayed response, I have some real life things going on right now, so I might end up being limited online for a couple weeks. But that doesn't mean I'll not be on daily, as is my usual. Just that it might.

Anyway. I'd suggest trying arabians.
There's a lot - [A LOT] - of arabians in stud and in sales. And you can get a quicker hold on how the breeding interacts with matching different studs and broods fairly quickly. It'll teach you a bit about how horses are matched up, what might work better than other matches and overall, how to build a herd with good 'on-paper'.
On-Paper is the BR, the conformation scores and the overall visual look of the horse.

Try to see if you can take an AC or AC-type (has HGP - Horse Genetic Potential - of an AC horse, but is not, itself an AC horse) horse and try to change a single comment from black color to green color or even gold color. There's also red color comments. You can go upward and downward.

If you can change a single stat color in the BR (which will be relatively easy if you pick the right stud), take a look at the other changes that you've done.

Creating a top-class, on-paper horse, this is a horse with an HGP over 65,000 points and multiple green and gold comments, isn't all that easy, even with really strong parents. But it's also not that hard either, if you use a breed like the arabian.

So, choose a goal for you with the HGP. Say... 55k (55,000 points). And limit the parents HGP that you'll use (say, you will limit yourself to using horse parents that are no more than 50k HGP.

It's a simple goal, but can be harder to attain that it sounds.

Once you get your 55k foal, set another goal, say 60k HGP, but only use the foals YOU produce and keep all outside parents you might use, to that same 50k limit. So, in essence, you'll be breeding your higher HGP foals to lower HGP horses that you didn't produce.

Don't worry about COI (coefficient of inbreeding). It does have an effect on the game, but the effects are limited and not written yet to be bad. In this case, raising COI (breeding siblings together or parents to offspring, etc.) can be quite useful to you.

Then, figure out what you've learned.

If you can produce a purebred arabian with an HGP over 69k, I'll give you 100,000 and fully train that horse for you.

That is, if you choose to tackle the goal I outlined. If you choose another goal, I can still offer the reward, in a suitable goal scenario.

no need to apologise real life stuff comes first!!
and sorry for my response to been a bit busier than i expected!

thankyou for your advice!!! i really do appreciate how much your helping me out:)

and yes i shall definitely work on your goal, may take me a while considering i’m a bit busier than expected but i shall let you know if and when i have completed it!!

thankyou!!!
have a good day

Belgians and Thoroughbreds (TBs) are pretty easy. I have some if you would like them. They aren't like some of the Belgians you see for sale. Take a look if you want

It's an honorable and useful goal to work toward.
I shall be awaiting if you've obtained the goal!

If you need an infusion of monies, there are a number of useful ways to get it. First and foremost, you can ask the community at large, for a donation (just open a new topic requesting a donation, put up a horse you don't want back, or say that you want it back) and the community will respond.

The most direct way other than asking for a donation, is to find yourself a grinder and start grinding. Learning to train can help and breeding together grinder-fodder and selling them as grinder-prospect foals is another. Grinder-prospect foals can net you at least 10k a foal.

In fact, your goal is leading you right down this path.

If you need a grinder, you can also request for one from the community. They'll offer discount and even free grinders to this end.

There is also popping and aging services that you can offer (but this does mean you'll be haltered to the game, to ensure the horses get returned to their owners).

I have quite a few other guides for in-depth reading in my quick-links.
That said, grinders offer bread & butter. Grinder-fodder foals offer good income without having to invest much at all (there are high-on-paper sales of mares and stallions for less than 100. I usually find a number that are $1 sales. Matching pretty much any of these types together will give you grinder-fodder foals). You don't even need to train them.
But, grinder-fodder foals, the sales can tend to come and go. Sometimes they'll be hot, and sometimes not. It's better selling them when they've proven to be good grinder-fodder and even incrementally better when they've been trained up.

There is one other option. If the horse's you're looking at and wanting, are for sale, you can ask the community to help you in acquiring these horses. Just like asking for donations.
For stud-coverings, you can do the same thing.

So, you have a number of options available for you.

*Edit*
AND.... now that I'm ready to post, it's already been taken care of!

Ah, well... the information is still quite helpful.

It happens to me often enough.
