But from a strategic view it's not a good idea to keep the first 2 horse for longer time than necesarry, because a newborn horse is much cheaper to train than an old horse.
Let's take an example:
If you e.g. buy 2 new horses, and train them up to level 14, that will be much cheaper in in horseshoes than continue training them up to level 20.
if you now pair these 2 horse when they are level 14, you now get a new horse which is level 14 as newborn, and now you for a low price in horseshoes train that horse up to level 20 - 25. Now it's in my oppinion time to pair that horse with another horse which is close to it in level (not more than 5 steps betwen them in level), and from them you will get a new horse which is cheap to train up to level 30 - 35, and so on...
I have a stable level 6, only one more to go. When you breed, your two selected horses GO AWAY.

If you have room in the stable then you should be able to keep the pair that you selected to breed. Other wise you won't be able to start selective breeding, ie: strength, agility and stamina.
I have 1 foal from one of my breeding attempts where one horse was level 20 (a stock horse) and the second stock horse at level 16 and got my foal at level 16 with a breeding plus on jumping(strength). Hope this helps a little

Yes, I have room for six horses. I currently only have 4 horses. I had three yesterday, but I wanted to start training a new one, and let my 'top' horse race every 3 hours instead of 4. The reason I had 3, is with room for 6 horses, I bred two of my four horses in order to try and get a quality 2 horse. The parents went away I was left with a foal. Still only quality 1, alas.

Edit> Another tip....
If you are setting up a training, and the stats bar says, for example, "Lvl 13, 0 More." And you train. When your horse is done, they will be at lvl 14. This can save you the 20 horseshoes it would take to get the stats bar to show "Lvl 14, 165 more."
The only way you can avoid to loose a horse by breeding, is never use that horse to breeding.
How do you get a horse with a Breeding Quality Level 2?
- or at least not somebody who read in this thread.
It's only a few hours ago I today try to do it, by pair my 2 best horses (both parents was Breeding Quality Level 1), but I missed.
Attachment not found.
But at least I get a new horse where the first training could raise the strength from level 39 to level 43 if I would use full intensive training on it.
Attachment not found.

I believed it either, but as I said in another thread:
Maybe it's normal for 2 breeding quality, maybe it will be fixed.
Though it may be a function of a possible display error. Where if you put the horses top and bottom one way, it says "Chance of increase" and if you reverse them bottom and top, it doesn't. So maybe its supposed to show both ways, and for some reason it doesn't?

Wow that sucks all those horseshoes for training, to basically throw them away! Thanks for the update! ;(
This will also depend on the level of the horses you are breeding. I have suggested to other members of my co op that they wait until their horses are at least level 20 (both horses) before breeding to increase their chances to get a better foal with a breeding quality bonus.

- It's IMO not worth to train them more, because training a 1'st generation to level 15 cost around the same amount of horseshoes as it have cost to train them to level 14.
Now pair these to level 14 horses to a new 2'nd generation level 14 horse. Now train that horse until it be relative to expensive to train it more. now it's time to pair this 2'nd generation horse with another horse, best with another 2'nd generation horse with the same level (or close to).
- and so on.

have side task that says: Crossing and pairing: have one horse with breeding quality lvl 2
below that it says 1 / 2
My stable is level 4,
Im on the set of tasks that says: earn 2,500 gold shoes,
I have just 1 horse in my stable now which has gone through about 4 or 5 breedings,
that horse is level 60+ on all 3 training categories,
the breeding QUALITY is level 1.
Now Im wondering, it says 1 / 2, where's this quality level 2 horse???
I would have emmediately noticed a breeding quality 2 and kept it aside...
...since the best I've seen sofar is a quality 1.
Total confusion NOW !?( :huh: :?:

So you have 1/2 because you have 1 quality level & you need 2.
Facing the same task, failing over and over again. Hard to figure out how excactly things work on a 'there is a chance that there is a chance' basis. Turned back to just clicking minimal training, that is, if i don't forget.
Spot on, Scissors! :P
As for the "chance for increase in breeding quality", sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't, but the quality can still go up, regardless of whether the text is there or not. As in, if you breed a breeding quality level 1 horse, there's a chance of getting breeding quality level 2. I'm not sure this applies to ALL horse breeding processes at ALL different breeding values and quality. When I asked the question (a month ago), no one answered, and still, it's unanswered...
Horse 1: Breeding value 24 (was bred previously), competed in races
Horse 2: Breeding value 20 (was purchased, not bred), competed in races
The icon said there was the chance of a breeding quality. The red circle was present when I was looking at the breeding window.
So: After breeding these together I was able to keep the previous breeding effect, and then received another. So this new horse has 2 breeding effects. The new horse has a breeding value of 22.
But no breeding quality and now I still have this task.
What did I do wrong? This is a very frustrating task if it's something that has a CHANCE of happening.
(The quality can be increased by breeding, influenced by the horse level and quality of the parents)
edit: Wait, I'm probably wrong. Darnit.
edit2: I just lost one Euro and the correct reply is: The quest description is fine, the 1/2 counts the quality level.
I bred 2 common level 50 for it.
Foal has 4 breeding effects and can train to 60 in THREE maximum trains
I should note that the chance of a new breeding quality level was NOT showing....yet I still got it!
'There might be a chance on an increase breeding quality' but 'if the chance isn't there it still might' is way to difficult for me.
Its like a game with a dice, not knowing what number you need.
Is that your final answer ? Would you like to ask the audience OR phone a friend???
The Crossing and Pairing task has the text: Many horses are refined by pairing them with Arabian and Thoroughbred horses.
To me, I began to suspect that this is why a foal's parentage is available. You want to try to mix up the lineages.
Normally I breed 14/14/14 with 14/14/14 and I get a chance to increase breeding quality level. Sometimes it increases, sometimes not.
Today, however, I bred a 14/14/14 horse with the parents Champ and Champ, with a 14/14/14 horse with the parents Champ and Champ... and got NO chance at a breeding quality increase. I still did the breeding because now I have a pure blood Champ horse of a higher level.
If its true that lineage has much to do with Breeding Quality, as it appears to, then it also answers another often asked question. Why is there a set free button? Why would I ever want to set a horse free? The answer being... because you are looking for a new foal with a specific lineage.

looking at my new grade 2 foal....yes...the parents at 50 were the same...as in a pair. Perhaps that is why level two was achieved. I still haven't seen a 'chance for breeding quality level' on any horses that have a quality level.
How (other than the colour) can you tell what horse is what?
-Y
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 fit for breeding task or will it go back to 0/2 horses with breeding value of level 20?
hope I made that an understandable question
Thanks
Thanks, that really helps, was looking for somebody who's managed a quality 2 horse
