Breeding

Breeding your horse is normal, and apart from the aging, breeding is also the difference between Eternal and Life Cycle.

So how do I breed my horse?
You cannot breed stallions, unless you are a sub, you own a ranch and a breeding barn. So rephrase that question.

So how do I breed my mare?
Take your mare (make sure it's over 4 years old) to a ranch with a breeding barn. Prices vary from barn to barn, and select the best offer you find.

What happens if I don't have any horse space when my foal is born?
Then you can't ride your horses until you get rid of some.

How do I breed my stallion?
You can breed your stallion by putting him in your breeding barn. You won't keep the foal though. The foal follows its mother.

I see some strange letters like [B] at the front of some stallions' names. What do they mean?
It means they are restricted to some kind of breeding.
[B] means it is for buddies only. [C] means for clubbies only. [P] means pure breeding only. [X] means Cross-breeding only, for example, you see a Appaloosa with an [X] at front. You may only breed it with some other breed which will produce a whole new breed. Like breed the Appaloosa with an Akhal Teke and you get a Nez Perce. I think if you breed an Appaloosa with something else you'll get a Pony of the Americas. If you want to see the [] guide, then when viewing stallies, scroll down to the bottom. You'll see the guide there.

When do stallies and mares stop breeding?
Well, I think it's kind of unfair, because mares need to stop breeding at the age of 20 (breeding ages: 4-20), while stallies can breed up to the age of 23 (breeding ages: 4-23).

When does a foal wean from its mother?
At 0.5 years old. (One week.)
At 2.5 years old you can ride it (with tack)
At 4 years old it can be bred and entered in competitions.
At 25.5 years old it will return to the big pasture in the sky, living happily with the Esrohs. Don't feel sad.

Here's a useful tip: 0.08 years old = 24 hours

If you have more questions leave a comment. Or I'll think of more to add on here.
