BREED HELP
Post by L U N A »
Hi! I recently started to try and breed rarer breeds, however when doing the crosses - for example a Chincoteague it says
(Shetland Pony x Welsh Pony) x (Arab x Spanish Barb)
I assumed that meant to first cross breed an 100% Shetland and Welsh to get a 50/50, as well as breeding an 100% Arab and Spanish Barb to get a 50/50, then breed those two together. I did that and I received an 100% Grade foal, so now i am curious what i did wrong!!!

Sometimes. Those breeds crossed will make more than 1 breed. I hate when that happens too.L U N A wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 3:06 am Hi! I recently started to try and breed rarer breeds, however when doing the crosses - for example a Chincoteague it says

It depends on the foal's evaluation. Your horse probably didn't eval well enough for the breed you were trying to make. If the Arab part of your mix included a very tall Arab, that might be where you went wrong.
Also, crosses do not need to be the exact 50/50 split- as long as just the correct breeds are present it shouldn't be an issue!

It definitely helps to have the breed book so you can check how close your horses are. They're going to be rated on height, size, and type, and all three need to be within range. It can be tricky, especially if one of the breeds that goes into it is really far off, but it can still be done.
