Breeding
Any horse over 3 years old can be moved from racing to breeding. For stallions, the owner sets a stud price. This price is posted and used whenever a mare's owner requests stud service. The owner may change the price before year end, but the earlier stud fee remains in effect for orders up to that time. Players can use the default breeding mode for their mares - this selects the best stud available based on genetic calculations. Or you can choose to select only from your own faction or stable; or you can turn off automatic selection entirely and conduct manual breeding selections. | |||||||
| Genes Each horse has genes, for Muscle, Bones, Endurance, Heart, Temper, Nerve, Fertility, Prepotence. They vary from 0 to 100, and they are used to determine how a horse runs in a race, and what is passed on to its children. For example, a high speed gene is better than a low one. Each gene is present twice, one from the horse's dam, the other from its sire. For calculations for races, the higher value is always used. For breeding, either gene may be passed on. Thus a speedy horse may not always pass that speed to its offspring, since it may also carry a slower speed gene. If a horse carries high values in both genes then all its offspring will reflect that.
