    Not. When you breed 2 horses you will get your foal but loose the parents. You could have read about this in the Official Announcement about the horse ranch. And things have been explained in several threads in this forum, also.
    It really, really helps to read the forum and the Official Announcements carefully every time!

    Don't worry though; you will be able to train your foal much quicker/better than the parents! ^^

    I'm quit sure that you get a newborn horse with the name Goldy, and at least one of the 2 horses you breed have the name Goldy?
    The newborn horse you get, are cheaper to train than the horses you have breed. :)

    Yes, you do lose the horses you breed. But if you do the breeding in the right way the horse you get will be better than its parents. There are good guides and tips on how to do it right here on the forum.
    But if you feel it's not for you then you just focus on the parts of the game you like and understand :)

    You should have read up first. When breeding, the parents leave and you get a foal that trains faster.

    Always try to breed horses with a similar level, and if that's the best, make sure you have a mate at the same level for him/her.

    Welcome to Big Farm. I had exactly the same problem a month ago but I didn't even breed anything at all - ever! I have never tried breeding. All I did was upgrade my stable and bingo! my horse was gone and I had two wimps both called Goldy. I got nowhere with Support who claimed it was all my fault. I'm glad in a way other people have the same problem.

    Some people are saying that the new horses have the training of the old one averaged between them. No they don't! Both mine were 0-0-0 and I had to start all over again. I've since managed to get just one of them up to the level of the lost one but I am understandably scared to try breeding for the first time.

    Aw Tony, that really is pretty crap, that Support didn't help you properly.

    I feel no pity for people who say the game is stupid, because they didn't properly read the instructions, but your situation is just KAK!


    Edit, realised I used a dutch word my coop is used to by now ;) Kak means poop.

    Yes they do. :)

    If you breed 2 level 10 horses, you loose booth, and get a new foal level 10 which is cheaper to train from 10 and up, than it would have been to train one of your old level 10 horses.

    If you breed a level 10 horse with a level 20 horse, you loose both, and get a new level 15 foal (which is cheap to train in the beginning)

    The more times you train the same horse, the more expensive it be to raise it to next level.
    That why it wise to breed a horse when you feel you get to little level-raising for you horseshoe compared how much level-up a new horse could get for the same amount of horseshoes.

    Since I not saw how you do, I can not tell what happen there.
    But my advise will be: try train up both your 2 horses to level 12, and then breed them. Then you will loose them both, but get a new level 12 foal which is cheap to train up to level 20. :)

    Hiya,
    I bred my first pair of horses and now one of my horses has disappeared. Anyone know why?

    There is a really loooong thread about horse breeding. You could check it out. But I'll answer your question quickly:
    It's perfectly normal.
    When you breed two of your horses the will disappear and instead you get a new horse that is cheaper to train and, depending on its breeding value, it might also have some nice breeding effects.

    After the second time I realized this is what happens the parents disappear. :(Suggest you train one horse for your competitions and and never let him breed. Then get two horses for breeding. Train them well. Yes you will lose them. But use them to achieve the task. The better the breeding pair is trained the better the foal's value will be. But I also think they should have told us more clearly this is how it works.8|

    I strongly advice against you suggestion of keep training one horse to compete with, Dasrita!
    Why?
    Because it would get very expensive, very fast. As the horse increases it's breeding value through training each training level will cost more horse shoes.

    It's better to follow the advice given many times in this thread and in this thread:
    Train two horses to (near) equal breeding value, then breed them. The new foal will get a breeding value between it's parents and it will require less horse shoes to train. Plus you get breeding effects that give bonus stats.

    And lastly, "they" did tell us clearly. Or haven't you read the official announcement?

    I just stop training my best horse at a certain point, and then work up a partner for her with the same level. Then I breed, have a new horse with the same best level that I can train up again to a certain point, while meanwhile starting again on a partner.

    Yep! The parents go away, you get a foal who is the average of the two parents, but way way easier to train, and an empty stall you can refill for 10 golden horseshoes.

    What happened to you is how the horse breeding works. You should read up on it before you try again. There's a lot of information and tips here on the forum.
