A foal can only be one of the colors that either parent carriers. This is now the least random aspect in the game. Tip: If a colt is produced that has same stats as the stallion, you can breed him back to the mare before selling, this gives you an extra 'generation' of stat increase! Stats can rise or fall between breedings, you should replace the mare or stallion if a filly or colt is produced that improves on that parent's stats. Strategy Tip: Most long-term players prefer to breed in a 'capped' foaling stall, which forces the random-breeding-algorithm to only allow a certain maximum Grade (usually the one they are trying to improve on). When breeding for stats, never cross more than 2 Grades (in other words, the grades you are breeding should produce or be produced by the intermediate grade (example Grade 2 x Grade 4 = Grade 3). The Official Breeding Guide explains that a foal's stats are directly affected by the parent's stats, but also have a small random chance of being something completely different. Special Note: A foal can only be one of two possible grades, the same or one higher than the LOWEST Grade parent, so it's not beneficial to breed more than a few Grades apart in most instances (there are very specific exceptions, you'll know if they apply to you) )

This is pretty straight forward, the goal will specify what requirement needs to be met (whether it's grade, gender, track preference or stat level) Of course, if one's horses have low stats or extremely common colors, it would not be wise to continue breeding those together. What this does is reduce the options for the algorithm to pick from. In most cases breeding horses with same pedigrees is beneficial (vital) if a player is breeding for stats or rare color. Special Note: There are no 'relatives' in this game. However if you do own a stallion, the silver breeding cost is reduced by 10-20% or more. You do not have to own a stallion (there is a stud farm that offers a random set of 5 stallions every hour). You must own a mare in order to be able to breed. There are 4 main reasons you might be breeding your horses.Įach of those starts with the same basic fundamentals: A mare & a stallion.

Breeding is a vital and important aspect of RSHR gameplay.
