Ro sure! There's a few really helpful guides tucked away. Some are a bit old or outdated but still relevant ^^ |

thank you so much alpine! I really appreciate it! i've been searching forums but must have missed the important ones (or not looked in the right places!) |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
I've been desperately trying to match mares/studs based on their training (e.g. mare has a low mv but high strength, I find a stud with high mv and low strength) to balance them out |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
so if a mare is all up in w4 and all 3 in week 8 she's likely to be a stronger producer? |
Alpine Acres |
Ro RF is real factor. In every breeding, there is a small chance of an unlikely rating. So not each match is guaranteed such as WWW x WWW = WWW. It depends on the match, strengths of the parents and RF :) |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
I never knew that, thank you so much! Sticking that in my stable notes so I remember to look for those things in both mares and studs! |
Calela Eventing |
RF means Random Factor Strong as in training, she missed two out on her wk4 which says straight away she could be weak and then she wasn't all3 wk8 which also says |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
whats RF? and strong as in strength or training? (I thought I had the hang of breeding but clearly I've still got a lot to learn) |
Calela Eventing |
Ro I'd say the WWW and EWE are more likely to be RF because she isn't very strong |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
-HEE Click- all of his mothers incredibly expensive matches, she produces one WWW and then PPEs/EEEs with expensive studs- I throw her at a leftover straw from one of my dead studs and she makes me an EWE - I Do Not Understand |
Calela Eventing |
Ro I think i'll try that, especially since the rocks are in front of the legs |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
Maybe some splashes of water around the legs or something, Cali? just to add some movement to the picture? (completely up to you, though! it looks incredible as is!) |
Calela Eventing |
Thank you! I've been struggling with inspiration so this piece is boosting my confidence And i'm really happy with how the mane turned out Anything else that needs to be done? |
Briar Thorn Ranch |
super pretty! and the horse looks like it belongs in that light if it makes sense? Like the ambient light from the surrounding matches the horses shadows (in my opinion) |
