I have a 4 star percheron Forest HorsexBelgian and I have been breeding her with a 3 star Percheron Norman Cob. I have tried 3 times and every time gotten a half Norman Cob. Do both parents need to be 4 star to produce a specific horse breed?

The parent's genes have to work together to me more Percheron-like in order to produce a full Percheron. Keep at it.

I could be wrong though. Breeding is complicated.

- No, both parents dont need to be 4*, they can be completely out of range evaluation, but if the pair will work together - for example one is really tall, the other one really small and the average will be fit for Percheron they can produce one.
