I think there is a fixed minimum in the calculation of the odds, so there is always a small change to win.
A lvl 10 horse and a lvl 5 horse would be facing the same minimum odds, equal change of winning.
I don't, for the life of me, see why I'm doing this! For a start, the whole Island aspect seems completely irrelevant: why can't we just grow exotic fruit in the greenhouse, in the same way we just grow crops in the fields, without the shells nonsense?
What is the 'end game' for the horse farm? Why am I doing it? Why should I do it? To what end?
The more the game moves away from the 3 main farms, the less and less enjoyable/relevent it seems to become. And, sadly, I'm more and more of the opinion that GGS are simply making the game up 'on the hoof' (pardon the pun) and there's no real method.
To quote from Apocalypse Now:
Colonel Kurtz: Are my methods unsound? Captain Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.
but, anyway, I guess the gender doesn't matter now cause
after all that training and then breeding
my two horses have vanished!! WHAT!? :huh: WHY? X(
I've wondered what the purpose and benefits are concerning these he/she horses
--but it's only now fully sinking in that the answer is there is no answer
There is a final (as yet undisclosed) stage to the whole process, where we can use the gold horseshoes, so its still a work in progress atm, animations will be added too apparantly, but for now you can join the rest of us in our delierious state of confusion hehe 8|
It's always nice to hear from someone who can still remain optimistic after enduring so much garbage.
Hang on to your dreams, Runs! Let me know how that works out for you. LOL
okay i tried to lvl up to lvl 5 and the odd goes down not up, tried other challenge and succed, but not lester, somebody please fix this problem
Maybe, but confusion breeds more confusion. That so many feel they've 'been conned' after intially having to use so many horseshoes prior to the recent fix, is testament to the perils of launching a 'work in progress' before you've ironed out its manifest wrinkles.
Perhaps GGs should have launched the stable with a 'buyer beware' proviso e.g, :rolleyes:
Ya gotta laugh or cry & I look terrible when I cry hehe ... We do pester them to give us everything NOW & when it all goes wrong, everyone says they should have waited, which I find quite amusing at times.
BTW I did think of you when I saw the racing news lol ... That one gave me a right giggle
If that gave you a giggle, you'll like the reply I added to my old thread, "Coop vs. Coop?". I couldn't resist digging that one up! LOL
you can choose. And it also seems that no matter what - your opponents horses are always better than yours.
I think it's strange and I don't understand it at all.
I have owned a horse - and I bet there's more players here that have. I had a pure arabian stallion named Red Shadow ox from the famous and very, very rare bloodline of Crabbet Stud. I also knows about genetics in breeding of animals in general as I've been a succesful breeder of pure bred guinea pigs (exported many and imported too - 6 champions. I have also bred rabbits ( for rabbit jumping with elite rabbits). And NO WAY I would have got rid of a real good breeding animal just like that. Exeptions to renewal of blood lines in order to avoid inbreeding and lack of space. But then again - they were SOLD for good money both here in Sweden and to Norway, Denmar, Finland and UK!
So this is why I don't like the fact you loose 2 horses in order to get one new... Weird!

By saying you win some...you lose some I was talking about the competitions. You can't win them all. I never said nor did I insinuate that this is a casino or gambling site. Yes real money is involved in some cases but GGS never forced anyone to buy gold or spend gold on the island. I choose to spend real money on this game but I wouldn't spend it on an island event that disappears after 30 days or less. That's just me. You do not have to spend gold to obtain horseshoes. If one chooses to do so then that's on them. Yes we had to spend more horseshoes in the beginning to train our horses but they could only be trained up to level 10. I believe the intention was for us to learn & figure out how we should train our horses. There was no rush to get to a certain level but just learning a new feature I think. Now we can train them further with less horseshoes. They made a change for the better in my opinion & there's more to come.
I started out spending a bunch of horseshoes to train my horse & I didn't seem to be doing so well. So I decided to do the minimum training for 20 horseshoes & seemed to do a lot better in the competitions. I guess slow & steady wins the race.
First thing it seems you forget: Bigfarm is not the real life, there is a lot of things in Bigfarm you can not compare with the real life, just as an example see the egg prices: I get 120 doller per egg! - I guess it's gold-eggs
Second: If I have understand the instructions correct, in fact they try to simulate horse breeding like in the real world, but in a very simplified way where one of the thing which some off you find wrong is that both the parrent disappear when they get a child.
As I have understand the instructions (The higher class i give the exampless the better are the horse):
A=our first horse (class 1)
B= the second horse (we buy it) (class 1)
C= child from A+B (C= class 2)
D= new horse (buy) (class 1)
E= child from C+D (E=class 3)
After several breeding you end up with a horse which is much better than your first horse let's say you now have a class 20 horse ...Why then still keep the first class 1 horse to make more hoses with a lower class than this best horse you now have (class 20)?
But off course, it's possible I have misunderstanding someting in the instructions, and I have not yet myself have time to breeding my horses.
A lot of you are well along.
I haven't bred yet.
It occurs to me though....if the foal inherits anything from the parents, then breeding at lower levels (ie:10-15) would result in a 'lesser' horse than if bred with parents at much higher levels.
In turn creating stronger next generations down the line.
Am I wrong?
The "quality" will not show up permanently until you have bred 2 horses that showed the icon in the box when you created them as foals, which I had done. Now my new horse has a permanent circle in that corner with a 1 in it
Yon, the foal will take attributes from both horses, and in the breeding box, you can click through horses and get the foals info without committing to a new horse. It lets you page through the horses before pushing the heart, or breeding button.
Basically taking two horses around level 14 and breeding them, creating a foal from that. Then that new foal will train faster and get some breeding qualities.

To get 3 breeding effects you need +35, not 30, so will shoot for that
(so far my 3rd gen trains from 25 to 32 with one max shoes, so will see what can do from 32 when current training session is complete)
I have an entire spreadsheet on my hose breeding because only the parents show up in family tree, not grandparents, ect.
This is from the original announcement:
Foal breeding value 10 or higher: first slot is created
Foal breeding value 20 or higher: second slot is created
Foal breeding value 35 or higher: third slot is created
Foal breeding value 50 or higher: fourth slot is created
Foal breeding value 70 or higher: fifth slot is created
Foal breeding value 90 or higher: sixth slot is created
If Jinx loses her jumping competition, Dewey wants to try as well!
:(X(
Did you upgrade the stable? Each stable upgrade will grant you 1 new stall. Then you may buy another horse.
It is 1600 competition horseshoes for level 3 of the stable. Does anyone know how many for level 4?
