Question on Horses task

so have 2 horses with breeding level 20....I have one horse breeding level 23 and another breeding level 14.
It is taking way too many horseshoes to get the 14 level horse to even 15, so not gonna manage that one.
question is, if i breed them and get another horse, I'm assuming my 2 horses will disappear and I'll be left with one new one. Will it take less horseshoes to get that one to 20 and as my first horse with level 22 will have gone, will this still register on the task or will it go back to 0/2 horses with breeding value of level 20?
:) (dont think I got an answer on my question in the other thread.....)
Thanks

    If you breed your lvl 14 horse with one of the other horses, you will end up with foe that can reach lvl 20 with less horshoes than the old horse would need to reach lvl 15. The new foe will have average lvl, so if you breed your lvl 20 and lvl 14 horses, their foe will be aroud lvl 17. Both lvl 20 and lvl 14 horse will disapear.

    A friendly advice: you should breed your horses more often. Train a new horse to lvl 13 or 14 and then breed them. Training a new horse from 0 to 20 is a big vaste of horshoes.

    yeah, i agree with aaaaaaaabbbbbb, i had 2 horses at or nr to lvl 40 and 2 in mid 20's, i now have 1 lvl 20 and 3 lvl 15s. but the lvl 20 has more skills ! i had 2 lots of 2 common horses, but only got 1 now. All that training and all them horseshoes when a size 11 boot would have got me a better horse. OH well off to clean up all the GGS manure, there is loads of it about these days.

    Thanks for the replies, but my question remains........if I breed the horses, both will disappear, and the task is to have 2 horses with breeding of level 20........
    I have 1 at the moment, and if it disappears after breeding, will I have to then still train 2 horses again to level 20 or will the one that disappeared after breeding still count as 1 ?

    Yes, it still counts as one. You have to buy another two horses, train them to lvl 13, breed them and train the foe to lvl 20.
    So you need a stall with three spots to be able to do this. So once again:
    1. Buy a horse no. 1. and train it to lvl 13.
    2. Buy a horse no. 2 and train it to lvl 13.
    3. Breed horse no. 1 and no. 2 to get a horse no. 3.
    4. You are left with a single horse no. 3. Train it to lvl 20 (better even higer).
    5. Buy a horse no. 4 and train it to lvl 13 (now you have 2 horses: no. 3 and no. 4)
    6. Buy a horse no. 5 and train it to lvl 13 (three hoses in a stall)
    7. Breed horses no 5 and no 4 to get a horse no 6. and train it to lvl 20 (or higher).
    8. You fullfiled a task. You have two lvl 20 horses (no 3. and no. 6).

    This is still better than training two horses to lvl 20 without breeding.

    Then you can train one horse following above scenario and second one by training it directly to lvl 20. But this will take lots of horseshoes. Try upgrading your stable as soon as possible. Now when cometition is on, you should be able to get some golden horseshoes relatively easily.

    The foal that you get from the level 20+14 horses will be level 17 & should train up to level 20 pretty fast.

    Though I am not 100% sure about the part where your 20 still counts if you breed it... The task says to "have" 2 horses doesn`t it? and I think the intention is to have them & then the next task is to breed them. But I have never tried what you are suggesting so, you could well be ok... I guess you will soon know if you breed it and the task changes to 0/2 lol 8|

    well....figured out to my detriment that was stupid to breed, yes I now still have 1 horse level 20 and had to buy another lame one..........ran out of shoes at getting that one to 10.......so I guess thats me done with the horses.........absolutely pointless tasks and pointless part of the game.......

    Definitely not a pointless part of the game if you play it smart, read up on the forums before you do too much.

    If you followed aaabbb1's scenario, it would not cost you as many horseshoes to train them up.

    This is all very enlightening. I have a Level 43 horse that I used for competitions. I also have a Level 19 and a level 15. I'm trying to complete the task of 2 level 30 horses. If I breed Level 15 and 19, will the foal level up faster than my Level 19? Or do you have another suggestion. I have room for 4 horses.

    Are the lvl 15 and 19 both 'green' horses? So not bred, but bought afresh?

    If you would breed those 2, the foal will level up a LOT faster than your current 19. I think if you breed 15 & 19 you could end up with a foal of about lvl 17.

    You could even then buy 2 more horses, train those up to lvl 12-ish, breed them, level the foal up to 17, breed it with aforementioned foal and get a foal that trains even faster.

    Every next generation of foals trains faster.

    Kak, with all the numbers and foals, I have no idea if this is clear. I'm gonna make an example with names, to make it easier.

    Your horse 15 and horse 19 make a foal, we call it Harry (probably about lvl 17)
    You then buy 2 green horses: Jack and Jill. You level both up to 12/13ish and breed them. We call the foal Jane.
    You then level up Jane to lvl 17 and breed her with Harry.
    And their foal should train up even faster!

    It definitely takes a lot of breeding to get good horses, some people rather not name them, so they won't get too attached to them.
    I decided to just draw up a pretty family tree, which also helps me to keep track of what on earth I was planning again :)

    Yes, naming the foals and newly purchased horses do help. Otherwise I have to go back to the family tree to see if they're pedigreed or not. Which Goldy is racing today??? I also enjoy seeing the names of competitors. "Horse #5" just doesn't seem well thought out.

    LOL! Exactly!!

    I already get confused now and then with my own horses, if I'd let them all keep the name Goldy, I wouldn't be able to understand any of it anymore.

    Thanks, Gwen, for the advice. I'm going to follow it! One of my horses is green, the other bred. Hope that's not a problem.

    Work on getting your stable enlarged, with only 2 stalls you are just beating your head on the wall.

    I don't think that'll be a problem at all, will probably even produce a slightly better foal. But I am not completely sure on that part yet :)
    One of my friends in the coop also has a foal of a green and a bred parent and that horse seems to be doing pretty well.
