Breeding Recipes By Difficulty

Breeding Recipes By Difficulty

Before I get into it, this list is compiled of all the breeds we can make in HWO. That's 328 of them. The list is classified by two major themes, where the recipe breed falls with the requirements compared to the parent breeds and my (and the community's) experience in breeding them. All of these are listed per parents that are 'perfect' (or nearly so) in their own breed standards and matched to the recipe breed standards.

There is a small handful of breeds that are made with the same recipe of others. Although very few of them actually line up with overlapping requirements, there will always be a possibility that you will actually make the other breed rather than the one you're aiming for. These breeds will be marked with 'Dual Recipe'.

IF... your experience differs from the category that a breed falls within please make note of it with a reply. Should I receive enough replies of a change in difficulty, I will change the breed into that other difficulty level with a notation of the change.

Finally, please take a moment to read the notations for each difficulty, some of them are different from the others, not just in 'difficulty' but in what you may encounter.


Difficulty: Super Easy
The requirements of the recipe breed most often fall well within the parent's breed requirements, resulting in a regular and easy development of the new breed. If you're brand new to creating new breeds, find some five-star horses for their own breed and match them together. This difficulty level is So Easy that you should pop the new breed 'almost every time'. The Super Easy level will teach you how the breeding happens when it's successful so that you understand how the process works.

Difficulty: Easy
The requirements of the recipe breed generally fall within the parent's breed requirements, resulting in an easy development of the new breed. Unlike the Super Easy difficulty level, this Easy level may require you to select parents that are on the ends of their own breed requirements. However, for the most part, selecting any random parents of the required breeds and smashing them together, does often still result in the new breed. Take note of parent heights, sometimes breeding a tall mare to a shorter stallion is more successful than breeding a tall stallion to a shorter mare.

Difficulty: Medial
This level differs a bit from the other levels. Because the parent breeds are usually on the outside (or further away) from the recipe breed, and because the recipe breed is surrounded by the parent breeds, these breeds can either be really easy or really hard to make. It will all come down to how well you choose the parents and which combinations of genes they pass onward. So the Medial difficulty level has perhaps a bit more luck worked into the equation. You can consider much of these breeds a 'Hard' setting and not tackle them until you're sure of how to handle the recipe breeding themselves (altering parent breeds as necessary and figuring out where the hitch is, if you're having difficulties getting the breed you want).

Difficulty: Medium
The Medium difficulty can be handled after you've had some experience under your proverbial belt. For this level, be prepared to alter the parent breeds a little bit here and there, or finding some parents that are a bit outside of their own breed standards. You will need to pay attention, a bit, to the recipe breed requirements and some will need it more than others. For the most part, these breeds may force you to go into a generation or two to get the parents into a better place for additional success, but shouldn't be hard to alter to where they should be, to work for the recipe.

Difficulty: Hard
Most or all of the following recipes will require you to be selective with your breed parents. You may need to breed the parents into better positions, or find horses that are already different from their own breed standards. You will need to know what the recipe breed requirements are and you may need to evaluate the failed foals more than a couple times, to understand where they failed. So you will need to have experience creating new breeds and experience finding where your issues are. I wouldn't suggest you to choose a Hard difficulty breed to tackle for your early recipe breedings. You will also need to understand what the community is talking about if you get stuck on these. So if you don't yet know how to Evaluate for Breed a horse, what Body Size and Type are, you should shy away from this list for now.

Difficulty: Expert
Many of these recipes have parent breeds that are quite far from each other. The recipe breed itself may favor one side more than the other with the requirements, or may favor some from one side and some from the other side. Because these recipes are decently different from the 'perfect' breed standards from the parent breeds, don't try to tackle these breeds until you're sure of breeding and have time to tackle them. For the most part, none of these will pop the recipe breed without perfectly selecting the parents, breeding them to what you want and then, even then, because of the hidden genes they've inherited, you may still have trouble getting the recipe breed. I would suggest you think of grade horses as your helper horses to balance out your parent breeds and you may not want to rely on the market for availability of studs or sales. Though they may exist, they will probably be far from what you need.

Difficulty: Master
This last difficulty is the one where you'll likely be pulling out your hair and screaming at your phone/PC/tablet. Some of these are so different from their parent breeds, or far to the other side of the parent breeds, that you'll start to think you're breeding the parent breeds, rather than correcting the parents standards to more match the recipe breed. You'll find some stickiness in the genes of the parent breeds in this list (depending on where and what you purchase) as well as you will likely be leaning heavily on grade horses to help correct them. The worst part about this list is that when you finally create your recipe breed, the success leaves you a bit flat-feeling. More of a 'Finally! Now get rid of the danged thing!' sort. Expect many generations before you even get to a good parent set to try. And finally, Good Luck!
