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.

If you run out of turns, I can pick her up to age w/ our other girl :)
I've put her up for offers; one I run out I'll transfer her.

Something to note is this filly shares the same sire as the other, so they're half siblings there. They also share a common granddam on the dam's side and the maternal grandsires are also related. Not much I could do about that as those happen to be my best Arabians for this breed.

We've got another one! Apparently I'm getting great odds; all of my Doles so far have been female and normally it's the other way around for me.

Things seem to be picking up; maybe I've done so many pairings at this point that the probabilities are in my favor? They can only be Grade Horses so many times before the probability of no Doles gets to its breaking point.

Anyway, this is another Buckskin filly. This one, however, has Tiger Eyes! I've noted her evals in her description. Even more good news; this one's from one of those pairs I talked about earlier. She has a 57k HGP! If you glance through the "new foals born" area on the breed page, you might notice that most of them are between 25k-50k HGP. The ones we're producing are from 53k-57k, which is above the apparent normal margin. Ergo, we're producing some higher quality Doles than what is otherwise currently being bred.

I've been trying to add some spots to make them a bit fancier visually, but I've had no luck in getting a Dole to be born to my spotty group insofar. I'm just happy one inherited visual Tiger Eye genes and kept high HGP.

My grinder is refusing to stop giving me turns, so I'm going to keep rolling with them until my internet makes me stop. I'll refrain from putting this one up for offers just because I need a sales slot for when I have to refresh stud energy. At this rate I might get that one filly to breeding age before my turns run out!

I had to pause for a bit; internet started saying no and stopped loading things. It should be better for a little while now and I have nothing important to do, so I've kept going and... had a filly! Again! Apparently I'm getting a filly curse, not that that's a bad thing. One colt can probably give around 340 coverings after all.

I'm just going to edit this message if I get anymore tonight rather than continuing to spam updates.

So this gal is a Cremello Blanket; I've gotten us some spots! Unfortunately, her HGP has dipped below 50k at 49,588. That's still above average from what I can tell, though. Her eval is also more favorable than the others; she's 3* for Latvian and 2* for North Swedish. 3* is the highest so far for Latvian that I've bred.

I'm putting the previous high HGP tiger eyed lady up for offers; I'll age her as far as I can and transfer her if you're still online. If not then offer when you see this and I'll use what turns I have at that point.

Awesome :0

I also got the other gal aged up and both are bred to a Dole stud

Not too bad that we have a filly curse since we have a good supply of amithril's studs on the market.

Wow, a North Swedish? What a find :0 Lol

Anyway, we just started getting a huge load of fillies which are slowly progressing into mares. I'm sure we can sell one to you after a couple of breedings :)

We haven't stumbled across any colts yet, we are stuck in a filly pandemic xD

What do you mean by that? I'm sorry, I don't quite understand :lol:
