Sorry- I offered the wrong amount. I’ll take all fo the 95% mares as well. I’m not sure why, but I really want those mares.

Thanks. If you suddenly decide you want to start hanovs again, tell me!

So, I bought a couple horses from vallers for a really good price- 10k per hanov. Thanks for the horses. :D
I thought I’d show all of the beauties I got and my plans for them:
Dancing

My naming skills still haven’t improved, but that’s ok. She’s 95% so I want to breed her to a low COI stud to get her to 100%. She’s also beautiful. (For $1 too!)
Enigma

She’s pure hanov and also has a really cool colour. I bred her to Alderaran- a stockier hanov stud. He also has a really stunning colour I’m excited to see what I get from the two of them.
Nuclear

Next is Nuclear. She’s also pure hanov and has quite a light build. Planning on breeding her to Alderaran too.
Nicker

First of all, she’s my worst name. Second of all, I bred her to Raven to lower her COI. I also love Raven’s build so I probably will breed a couple other mares to him soon.

My entire ‘just find a holstein stud and breed it to an tb horse’ has failed. Why? Because the good hanov stud I was talking about, Zanzibar, has no energy. The player also hasn’t been on for a while. So I’m back to my original plan of trying to get a good hanov horse to breed to a good tb, and hopefully get a hanov.

Speaking of a good TB, Nova threw me a lovely tb x trake filly. She’s rated a *4 in both books. I’m planning on breeding her to Dragonfly. He’s only rated a *3 but Zebra told me *3 and *4s work better than *5s when it comes to making new breeds, so I’m hoping she’s right.

Morning Glory
I glanced over Morning Glory and Dragonfly's Holstein evals and they are both super close, especially Morning Glory's. If she was 1% less Horse-type, she'd be a 5*.

I think the cross seems promising; you should be able to get at least a couple Holstein foals out of the pair. Keep in mind, it may take a few breedings to get a Holstein. If you breed and breed and somehow your mare doesn't produce a Holstein by the time she's old, I'd recommend breeding her to a Medium-build Thoroughbred stallion (if you can find one for stud) and that foal should be a 5*, then you can continue trying with the new foal. Just a heads up, breed creation doesn't require, for example, a 50% Thoroughbred x 50% Trakehner, you can also use a 75% Thoroughbred x 25% Trakehner and are still able to create new breeds that way. As long as the horse is a mix between the two breeds required in the Breed Creation, you're golden!

If you ever need help, I'm always around and I wish you the best of luck! When you have a decent amount of Holsteins running around, I'm definitely interested in buying a breeding pair from you. ;)

Thank you! Will keep the advice in mind. To be honest, I don’t expect much from my first breeding with the pair, but I’m excited to see how it goes. I really appreciate all that you’ve done for me. :)

Breeding, breeding, breeding! Wow. I’ve been busily breeding and aging. I’ve been getting quite a few fillies. I consider that lucky, as fillies are great at helping me expand my lines. I was able to get one of my friends, Ren to play. She’s been trying to breed colourful North African Barbs. I lent Little beat to be used as a grinder for some time. Little Beat

She’s been breeding Little Beat out to hanov stallions to help me out. So far, she’s had 2 fillies and 2 colts. It’s going pretty well!

I’ve just been focusing on using turns to age Morning Glory to breed to Dragonfly and hopefully obtain my very own hanov.

I’ve been doing courses nonstop and my money has been draining fast. I’m thinking of selling some of my Hanoverians or finding a partner? I’m not sure. There don’t seem to be very many people that breed them. Either way, I need to find an easy way to get money, fast.

These have been getting less and less consistent :shock: ..... exams are coming up for me, and there are a few subjects that I’m nervous about. But I still enjoy HWO and I have good news for everyone!

I bred Nova to a new stud for a try, as I haven't been getting great results with the other stallion. After scrolling through a bunch of stud ads, I found Abyss Rider. *4 Holstein, *4 Hanov. I wasn’t sure how he would go, but I decided to give him a try. So I bred the two and behold:
Checkered

(No, my naming skills still haven't improved.) She’s rated *4 in both books and I’m looking forward to breeding her!

Second, my colt problem seems to be over. The last few foals have all been fillies- with pretty low HGPs. I’m not too worried about low HGPs right now, as I can always breed some Arabians into my hanov lines to increase the score.

On an unrelated note, I’ve decided to sell some of my hanov colts. I have way too many colts and not enough space. If you want one, please ping me on this forum.
