Hey all,

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong please? I'm breeding EEE to WEE and I'm not getting well rated foals! The last one I've just bred from this combination turned out PPP! I'm using horses with a high event level too. What's happening :(

Hey, sorry to hear you are getting PPP, do the horses match? also you should use WWW horses instead of WEE to the EEE. Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply! Not sure what you mean by 'match'? I'll use WWW instead then 🙂

I'm guessing what WolfDancer is referring to is the strengths and weaknesses of the horses. This is where the training tracking comes in. If your mare is weak in movement and strong in speed, you want to breed her to a stallion that is strong in movement and week in speed. You can tell what a horse is strong and weak in by tracking training. They will gain bars more quickly for traits they are strong in and more slowly for traits they are weak in. Also, is this happening every time or only sometimes? There is also the random factor which means sometimes a pairing will produce a foal with stats lower than one would expect. Also there seems to be an element of horse genes where some horses are good at passing on their rating and others are not. When looking for a stud, check how many of his offspring are EEE or higher. When buying a mare, consider how many times she's produced an EEE or higher foal when bred to higher rated stallions.

@gem

yes that is what I mean by match

Random Factor (RF) might not be in your favor, but it's more likely you're not matching your horses correctly. You might want to take a look at those guides:

Thank you sooooo much!!!!
