Number of Breeds

Post by flrancho »

I'm struggling a little bit with trying to pick a breed or breed(s) of horses to focus on. I've considered trying to breed the Irish Cob, Andalusian, and Friesian, as these are my favorite breeds in real life.

I'm unsure however, if between my two accounts, that I'll be able to sustain creating and maintaining all three breeds, even though they are related. For those farther along in the game than I am; do you think I could pull off these three breeds? Or am I better off trying to choose just one?

Three breeds is hard.

I have chosen one - the Aegidienbergers - and focused on them primarily. Two is probably fine, more than two is less detail, more production and would probably result in horses with bad conformation and stats. I'm sure som people have three breed projects going on, but it's definitely too stressful for me :)

I guess this means I'm an odd duck. I have six programs going at once at the moment. I started each from scratch and have many herds for each program, it gets hard to keep a handle on at times but it's worth it.
My main herds are Welsh Cobs, Clydesdales, and Standardbreds, but I have the other three breeds that sell for allot of money. Those herds are small and I keep them small, I have a few good mares and stallion circulating foals to sell for the cash I need for my main programs. So it's possible, hard, but possible. At one point I had eight programs going - that is when things get "impossible".

My Standardbred herd all have an overall of 5* and most have good stats with two greens in their report. My Clydesdales are all 5* with average report, so having many programs and solid animals is possible. EXTREMELY challenging, but possible.

Also, when I was going through your farm I saw that you are working on breeding West African Barbs. I have an extra filly if your interested! I'm not currently doing anything with her so if you want one I will sell her to you.
