Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

Weekly Updates

Hey guys! So I may have forgotten about the weekly updates last week and the week before... so I know this is late but hopefully I will remember and if I don't you'll have to remind me :lol:

Question of the Week

What is your dream horse irl?

Reply below (you don’t have to ping me) with your answer!

(Example) Mine would probably be a blue roan (because I love blue roans!) Quarter Horse gelding with 4 socks and a blaze. He would do all-around events and be a super quiet horse and he would also be able to jump small heights and he would be a really nice western pleasure horse and he could do a flying lead change. Plus, he would have a really sweet and goofy personality.

Last week’s responses


Thanks to everyone for sharing! It was so interesting to read all of your responses and we love hearing from you :)

What do you mainly breed and why?
Sawd10 wrote:I do not breed a specific breed. I have a few projects, each of scattered breeds. However, the general idea of all of my projects is the same; anybody who might talk with me often may know.
I do rare breed revisions.
A few of my projects would be my English-bred Württemburgers, my not-pseudo-pseudos, or my heavy American Saddlebreds for the logging and driving focuses. TMI~ I am currently working on breeding the h-ASBs back to pure, and I just recently started a project I have had in mind for probably over a year: Steeplechasing St. Lawrences.

Why do I do projects like this...
I am among the small sub-community of players who enjoy envisioning an uncommon or unused breed as something totally new; and then, instead of a small idea, I begin to make the dream and eventually begin the project. It is something that I, personally, get a lot of satisfaction out of. Along with, well, patience skills and maddening moments along the way. But what is dream, or even just a successful idea, without those mixed feelings...? "Dream, you will fully bloom, after all hardship." That is why I never caught onto the trends that go on in this community or breeding a normalized breed, like the Thoroughbred. I enjoy doing my own thing. With that said, of course, do your own project; yours may be to take on Thoroughbreds. It does not matter as long as you like it.
Roselight wrote:I mainly breed Arabians (I know, basic, but tbh, I don't have the time to try for another breed). However, I do mix in other breeds. I breed more for stats than breed. If I find a horse for sale/stud that has really good stats, then I will typically breed with it, no matter the breed. My goal is to improve the stats of my lines to the best of my ability, then breed out the other breeds as much as possible. It may seem messy, but in my mind, it's very simple. But yeah, that's the long, complicated answer to a simple question...
honeybunny wrote:Those who know me know I have lots of projects. But I have two I stick to the closest. My Arabians and my Lipizzans.
For the sake of the story I'll talk about both.
When I joined the game I knew I wanted to breed Arabs because for as long as I can remember I have been raising Arabians in the real world. My first pony was a Shetland x Polish Arabian mare named Baptiste or Tizzy for short. My first show was when I was a mere 1 year old on the back of my mother's champion Arabian mare, Gisselle. The Egyptian Arabian runs deep in my family, closely followed by my father's beloved QH cutting horses. That being said, as much as I love the Quarter Horse my heart always stands with one foot in world of the Arabian and one foot deeply rooted in the realm of the rodeo queen. So I built my Reining and Cutting ranch horse versatility arabs from the ground up irl. Now I continued it online for the times when I'm stuck in bed from chronic illness and have to pass the horse training to my sister and husband.
Now what about my Lipizzans? That love comes from a small sickly 24 year old mare I found in a feedlot in Texas. I bought her sight unseen, pregnant and near death what I thought was a polish Arabian mare in need of a place to land before her passing. Instead I received a surprise when a heavily pregnant branded lipizzan mare stepped off my stock trailer. Her name was Zena, she was 24, foundered and lame but she lived for 3 more years. Long enough to give me her filly, Bonita who just foaled her first half Lipizzan x Frisian sporthorse colt two months ago, at 5 years of age. Zena was barely sound when she arrived but she lived three years able to canter around green pastures until she passed at 27 in my pasture surrounded by Bonita, Scooter (My dad's 36 year old QH stallion) and Cripplecreek my childhood Quarab, barrel horse who made me a rodeo queen.

For fun here are some of both breeds that I've bred that are my up and coming prospects:
I owe it all to my broodmares like this gal. :lol: Ready to pop lol

If I had to select one dream horse it would hands down be an imported Marwari stallion. Either a sacred black or bay, with the perfect wide blaze, four even white socks and a wheat ear swirl. :D
Someday soon I hope to import several and compete with them in everything from jumping to endurance.
