Help me name a real horse!

Arayla — Sat, 16 May 2026 05:31:19 -0700

Hello everyone!

I’m terrible at names here and in the real world so I’m asking for some help!

I’ve recently acquired a mare that I think will produce into a very nice show hunter type. She’s a TB and her current legal name just doesn’t fit her vibe.

Very Dark bay (almost black) with only a star. Quiet/sweet type.
Barn name is “Cora”. I’d love any ideas you guys have…

My only idea is maybe including the word “Encore” to tie the barn name in but that’s not a must!

Your Current Breeding Project (Inspo needed)

ReneeScarted — Fri, 15 May 2026 05:55:00 -0700

What it says on the title - what are you breeding for right now? In need of some inspo and would love to give you some space to brag about your current special project! (Feel free to show off horses too!)

I'll be starting out very modest with my own: breeding for PT for show horses, and establishing lines from my own breed long-term. My biggest trouble is deciding whether to breed for light, medium, or heavy body type as they all look gorgeous and I want to keep those bloodlines separate.

I'll also be in trouble with choosing some colors to make standard in my breed so as I said, in need of some inspo XD I know it's a personal decision, but maybe seeing a particular idea or horse will blow my mind.

When to Spay a Mare?

smagery — Fri, 22 May 2026 08:39:27 -0700

Hi there! I am new to the game and am trying to prepare for the June breeding season with everything I've learned so far.

I'm moving my mares into pastures and wanted opinions on which ones I should be spaying instead. I'd estimate that around 40% of my mares are Yellow papered. Should be spaying my Yellow papered mares and only breeding the Reds? Should I look at each Yellow and decide individually? (Keep the special herd helpers, consistent showers, etc) Or maybe just breed them all to have more foals to choose from next month?

I'd love to hear from players that have been doing this for a while! Especially if you have other tips/things you wish you'd known starting out (:

Thanks in advance!

What inspired your breed?

ReneeScarted — Sat, 16 May 2026 06:10:19 -0700

I imagine we all put some thought behind our breeds, so... showoff??

My current breed is called Volandian and I was really torn when I was making it whether to go strong Arabian-like features and then a fitting Draft, or more Iberian/Baroque and using Arabian for the Light body type (ended up with Polish Arabian, PRE, and Cob). So in my head it's a nice all-rounder breed with multiple lines and body types possible, but throughout characterized by flashy, elegant features and a good head on their necks.

I only realized when the name came from after looking at my bookshelf and seeing "The Master and Margarita" there, that one has a charactre named Woland. Oops XD

I will want a second breed as well in the future, named after my irl horse. It would possibly only exist in sport and riding pony types, and would have BCs along the lines of Crabbet Arabian/East Bulgarian bodies, as my horse is a Polish konik crossed with arabian, so has the features of a sturdy riding pony (think huculs, welsh ponies, icelandics) but a big higher with softer facials. So just make that a breed, have fun with that.

But yeah, what is your breed, where did it come from, both game-wise and story-wise?

Indigo Plateau Stables

jaAAAck — Mon, 19 May 2025 21:03:25 -0700

Indigo plateau stables

Indigo Plateau Stables is a stable based out of Australia, likely originating as a front for a legally dubious distillery. The owner had a interest in horses and eventing, (and a general disregard for following rules) so many early horses were obtained, questionably from folks the owner didn't like, But she had a great passion and care for these horses asides from this, rehabbing many problem horses or rescuing those who were mistreated, and refining already high end horses to incredible champions, The modern stock of these horses are descendant from these both underdogs and high class stock horses.
The times of the lawless bushland have long since passed, the history of the distillery long in the past and the questionable legality left with it. the modern indigo plateau stables is focused mainly on horses and evening, and ensuring peak quality horses.

im a new player here, to be honest i have no clue what im doing, i just like pretty horses and pretending to have a barn, im also an artist, maybe interested in drawing horses.

What genetics do you think we lack for stud?

TallyHo — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:04:37 -0700

So I’m just wondering what type of genes do people want to see for stud?

Obviously everyone has their own breeding lines & likes / dislikes, but I’m just curious as to what people think we lack genetic wise on their favourite colour of horses.

I personally would like to see more solid chestnuts & I like dilutes too personally (I’m in the process of breeding these), I was very much into my Appaloosa and Frames but I’m not so much anymore & I’m leaning my breeding projects away from this now.

What’s the genetics that you want to see more of? Why do you like them?

Which horses influence your breeding lines the most?

RKOHaven — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 15:26:43 -0700

Welcome to RKO Haven Estate home of our newest breed the Katlusian sport horses and ponies. The Katlusian Sport horse has a very Iberian look to them, they are incredibly intelligent and are very beautiful. The breed has a sweet temperament and as with most of RKO Haven Estate's breeds, they pass this on to their offspring. With that said have look around the Estate, visit the horses and please enjoy your visit, Kat

Licensed genes: Mushroom, Dun factor promoter 2

Katlusian standard:
Temperament is sweet natured, intelligent and has a great working attitude.
Body type is that of a medium bone horse and they range from 16h to 12h in height but that can vary with the individual horse or pony. Average height for the horse is 15h and 13h for the pony.
Eye color can range from brown to light blue, this can vary depending on individual genes the Katlusian carries.
Coat color can be solid or patterned, this can vary from individuals again depending on what genes the Katlusian carries. The most common coats are solid color with white markings and paint/ spotted coats are rare.

Foundation Stock:

RKO Don Felipe De Cocoa
Felipe has beautiful color and movement, Felipe is a crowd pleaser with his energetic presence and his love for making folks cheer, the more they stout and laugh, Felipe just gets more animated. Felipe's favorite class is liberty and it just shows how much of a ham he is at heart. When it comes to getting work done to under saddle, Felipe shows his intelligence and his graceful way of movement. I look forward to seeing if he passes these traits on to his future foals.

RKO Don Hector DeLaRose
Hector is a very sweet boy, he loves to visit with people and enjoys the show ring. I hope that he passes on to his foals his sweet temperament.

Is there Bend-Or spots or Lacing patterns?

Jananjuda — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 22:23:39 -0700

Hi, I think I have a vague memory of seeing a few horses in this game with something that looked like bend-Or spots and Lacing, but I can't find the genes in the Horse Search. Are the patterns actually in the game and how can I breed them, please?

How does the straws limit work?

FireElement — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 19:52:04 -0700

Hi there!
I always thought that the straw limit is per year pulled, for example I can pull 500 straws in year 72, then again 500 in year 73. Is this not how it works?
My stallions currently show non-zero number of maximum straws pulled even though I haven't pulled any straws this year. Is this a bug?

Hello all! I have a variety of non era 0 stallions available for breeding! I would love help getting them on the futurity boards! I have marked down straws and have them listed for live breeding as well.

Snow Capped E4 had embryos available.

Lemon Pepper E5 has embryos available as well. He passed SBA and usually creates some nice foals with the mares I have paired him with.

Looking to buy or trade ****Gold egg

Arayla — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 05:13:16 -0700

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to purchase an egg or 2 from a Double boosted mare to hopefully bring in some outside blood to my double boosted herd.
Open to any genetics.

I’m happy to buy at any price or trade for eggs from any of my mares.

Foal produced will be maxed & boosted.

Is this supposed to happen…Double exceptional?

Arayla — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 05:48:40 -0700

I created a rank special mare this morning while the exceptional brindle event was going on and she ended up double exceptional and era 8? She’s super cool but I don’t keep Era 8 foundations.

https://mesa.horsegeneticsgame.com/horse.php?horseid=4199703

Not sure if this is a bug or a known thing I missed.

Thanks Ammit!

GMTing a chimera offspring

ThatLeatherSmell — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:01:38 -0700

Hi guys

I was GMTing a horse today.
Sire is a chimera, with a different combo of RR on strand one to strand two.
The horse had inherited the gene on strand one, allele two. I wanted the gene on strand two allele two.
It forced me to use two GMTs to make the change.
First to strand two allele one, then to strand two allele two. There was no option to go straight to the gene I wanted.
Is this normal?
I hope that makes sense.

Inbreeding % question

Arayla — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 20:07:20 -0800

I made a mistake last season and bred full siblings.. naturally the colt ended up highest pt for era 9 and is stunning. More than likely going to geld him as I’m trying for 0%.

Anyways. He shows as 53% inbreeding. Why isn’t it 100% ? His parents are full siblings.

Hi everyone!
I've been doing a little snooping to see what recessive cream horses you guys have gotten so far and I noticed these 2 having "Pseudo" in their names. What does it mean? Is this a new color descriptor? Does it only work for rc horses?

They're very unique, I found only 2 such horses:

Max breeding age

StarBarKRanch — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:07:01 -0700

The FAQs state "Mares cannot be bred before age 4 or after age 20," which suggests that they CAN breed at age 20, but not after, aka 21+.
Also reading "Mares 20 years old and over will stay in the pasture but will not breed."

So mares AT age 20 can be bred live cover only, and via the pasture -- am I interpreting this language correctly?
