Breeding extinct breeds
Any information helps! Thank you 
Re: Breeding extinct breeds
Please help! I bred a Spanish Barb and a Criollo and the foal is labeled as 50% Spanish and 50% Criollo, why isn't it labeled as a Chilean Corralero?
Re: Breeding extinct breeds
I do, for the breed quest.
The breed in itself isn't as important as the horse's induvidual stats. You usually get the best result by breeding 5* of each breed. Not always though. I breed Norikers among other breeds, I have them because I needed them for Avelingese and Haflinger. This is a 5*Noriker stud I've got, he full fill every part of his breeds standard. But both those breeds I need his breed for is way smaller than any of the breeds used to get them. So I decided to breed small Norikers and ended up with this 0*Noriker ... As you can see, they are like night and day. Even if both of them are consindered to be pure breeds. The small one is useless for breeding Avelingese and Haflinger.
You can test out how close to the breedstandard they are by buying a book for the breed. The cheapest way to do this is by only buying the book of the breed you want to breed in this case Chilean Corralero. Then you test all horses in the mix - in other words Criollos and Spanish Barbs, studs and your own or horses you plan on buying against the Chilean Corralero book. And the horses that has closest to 5* you breed and hope for the best. You will still end up with some 50/50 mixes because everything must be just right before you get the new breed.

Re: Breeding extinct breeds
it's a chance to get one. I tried many times to breed Mongolian and finally bought the evaluation book, looked for 2 horses with the best eval scores for mongolian and I got a Mongolian! (still a chance though).nb112414 wrote:Please help! I bred a Spanish Barb and a Criollo and the foal is labeled as 50% Spanish and 50% Criollo, why isn't it labeled as a Chilean Corralero?
maybe you can try that for the Chilean Corralero?

*EP* First Hope
I'm so proud of this little guy.
He's my first (purebred) Altai.
I post this so you can look back in his pedigree how I bred him.
his parents are according to the evaluation book *3 and *5 Altai.
*5 is the maximum and the highest chance of getting one.
I think before I finally succeeded I tried 20 times with different mares and rehomed all the useless mixes.
I hope this helps, you can look at the 'Breeds Wiki' to find out which mixes you have to breed together for a chance to get your extinct horse.
