reproduction : how to breed

 

the stallion offers a covering

Your stallion must be over 2 years and 6 months

To make a covering offer, go in the reproduction box, on the horse's page (down on the right)


 

 

Propose a covering :


you make an offer, called a "free" offer, that any mare can choose.

Reserve a mare :

you make an offer, but for a particular mare

You need to know the name of the owner of the mare before reserving the mare.



 

Once the offer finished,
the stallion will have this in his history >
A covering offer takes 25% energy off the stallion's energy



 

the mare accepts a covering

Your mare must be over 2 years and 6 months

To accept a covering offer, go in the breeding box, on the horse's page (down on the right)

=> A stallion might have already made a reserved offer for your mare : here, you see : eclipse for 200.00

(it means that the stallion eclipse has made a covering offer for your mare for the price of 200 eq)

hint this link to accept the offer (but you don't have to - if you don't accept this offer, it will disapear within 48 hours)

 

 

choose a covering offer for your mare

Your mare must be over 2 years and 6 months

To choose a covering offer, go in the breeding box, on your horse's page (down on the right)


 

or, if you already have chosen a stallion :

=> Choose among parameters to determine what stallion you're looking for - and hint on : Display coverings

Choose a stallion in the list, and hint : select


=> You already know which stallion you're looking for - enter his name and hint on : Display coverings

hint : select



 
On next page, you will have to confirm your choice :


 

In your mare history you will have this :

A covering takes 25% energy off the mare's energy,
but gives +5% morale



 

In the breeding box you will have this :

The abortion option is no longer available... it has been removed from the game, due to players pressure.

If you choosed to abort your mare, she would loose the foal, and it cost your mare up to 30% energy, depending on the quality of the healthcare of the center where she was a resident.



 

your mare is foaling

=> When your mare is ready to give birth to a foal,
you get this advertisement on the left of your mare's page


 

=> and you have this in the breeding box (down on the right of the mare's page)

=> You can see the price of the vet that you will have to pay for the birth...
(it's between 500 and 600 depending on healthcare in the EC where your mare is resident)

If you can't pay for the vet, you lose the foal, and you lose one karma point
(see other topic : MONEY : How to get money for vet !



 
=> Calling the vet leads you to this page, where you name the foal

=> and the foal is born !


 

choose the best stallion for your mare

To get the best foal you can, you'd better choose a stallion with the highest GP (Genetical Potential) to cover your mare, and the highest BLUP (BLUP = 100 is the max)

=> It will give higher Innate Skills to the foal
=> It will give higner GP to the foal

If you have Gallop 4 (or Riding Level 4) you're able to see the GP and the BLUP on bottom of any horse page


 

If you have not yet Gallop 4,
you can find a stallion with a high GP using another way :

Go to the "horses' elite" page, to see which are the horses with the highest GP

Choose the "Genetic potential ranking"



 

=> copy the name of the horse

 
When you found the stallion that you like, kook at his page, to see if he offers free coverings ; if so, in the stallion's breeding box (on his page) you will have this :


 
You can hint the link in your mare's breeding box :



 

And enter the name of the Stallion you found :
