Breeding Trouble!

Post by UnpredictableDragon »

Hi everyone! Recently I've decided to take up breeding the Latvian Riding Horse. I've just now gotten the parents needed for this breed! But...Yeah, there's a but...The parents don't fit the breed requirements at all. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Here is the breed requirements for a LRH:
Height: Mature Range 15.1hh to 16.1hh

Build: Medium Light to Medium

Body Size: 35% to 60%

Type: 65% Horse Type to 60% Pony Type

To breed a Latvian, you need an Anglo-Arabian and a Norfolk Trotter. Below, I will list the parents Breed Physique:

Anglo-Arabian Mare (Not fully grown yet):
Height Mature Range 15.1hh to 16.1hh
This horse is 15.0hh [Rating Good]

Build Medium Light to Medium
Your Horse is Light [Rating Poor]

Body Size 35% to 60%
Your Horse is 24.3% [Rating Poor]

Type 65% Horse Type to 60% Pony Type
Your Horse is 85% Horse Type


Norfolk Trotter Stallion (fully grown):
Height Mature Range 15.1hh to 16.1hh
This horse is 16.3hh [Rating Poor]

Build Medium Light to Medium

Your Horse is Light [Rating Poor]

Body Size 35% to 60%
Your Horse is 23.5% [Rating Poor]

Type 65% Horse Type to 60% Pony Type
Your Horse is 70% Horse Type [Rating Poor]

I guess try to breed another anglo if you can again or look through the studs to try to find a close match.

I breed a ton of horses. The most common ones are Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Belgians, and Turkmen. I like to make cursed horses, so I might sell a few from time to time.

I've tried both of those, unfortunately. Although I was just sold a smaller Arabian mare, so I'll try to breed another Anglo. Thanks, Cookie!

If you're ok with a high COI, you could try to cross the NFT and the Anglo and breed as many of them as you can. You then select the foals that fit the criteria you want the most, and breed them together as many times as possible again. Then continue the process with their foals and so on. That way you will move closer and closer to your desired traits over generations.

It's slow, but it works. I had to do the same with my Welsh Mountains if I wanted to get Welsh Cobs. I'm at 13 generations now, but your horses seem much closer than mine were, so I don't think it would take as much time for you :)
