I don't think they can cross. If I am reading his genes right he is FF for homozygous for frame?

It seems that there is a lot of confusion about what colors and patterns are possible in the game and how the various genes affect these colors. Once upon a time one of our members started some reference forum posts showing all of the variations on the different base colors (with both darkening and diluting genes). This was a fabulous but absolutely massive project...however, we are between breeding seasons and it seems to me that it would be helpful to revive the project.

I'm starting simply with examples of the main base colors--black, bay, brown, wild bay and chestnut--and a basic discussion of the genetics behind each color. Older players, please jump in if you see mistakes. Newer players, please ask questions if I'm not explaining well enough for you!

If someone who actually breeds for gray would be willing to put together a quick example post of black, bay and red based grays at different ages (do they still gray out or is that art still in the works?), that would be amazing and super helpful. I don't breed Gray, so I own very few!

A final note here before I start putting up horses--Ammit, our game goddess and creator, is constantly working on the algorithms that generate color and pattern. While the examples I put up will reflect the current art available, all colors and patterns may change subtly or significantly at any point in the game. For instance, in the year that I have been playing, I can think of 4 or 5 patterns that have changed significantly with lots of new art and at least 2 basic color genes that have also been tweaked, not to mention the introduction of whole new patterns to the game!]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/9771/annual-who-might-you-lose-year-38 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 18:15:09 -0700 MoonAcre Stables 9771@/forum/discussions

I have a lot more, she is just my best show horse. I accidently bred her real uneven, a foundation to a 5th gen. Making her a 2/6 gen. I spayed her right away since she was so uneven, even though she passed SMA, which is unusual. Have patience, it may take several years, (it took her 9 years,) before they get there, but it could happen. As you can see by her Leaderboard records, she is almost always 'Champion' of Points Earned by 2nd gen horses for four different clubs. So don't be upset if you do accidently breed an uneven horse, they can make excellent show horses. They could be a hidden gem for points earned on the Leaderboards in disguise. ;)

Anyone else have a hidden gem they would like to share? I would love to see them. :D

1. If you look in the left menu bar under testing and papering, you will probably see Stallion Papering and Mare Papering grayed out near the bottom of the list of testing features. Stallion Papering becomes available when you purchase a Basic Upgrade; Mare Papering becomes available when you purchase a Premium Upgrade. If you have the necessary upgrades, all horses can be papered. Stallions can be papered as soon as they are created or born. Mares have to have 3 live foals on the ground before they can be papered.

2. Every time you train a horse a certain number of points is added to the score it will receive when you show it. There are 8 levels and 4 grades in each level.

As you train your horses, they will work their way through the grades of Level 1 (Local, Regional, National, World). Together these four grades cover 10 score points. When a horse reaches 10 or 11 score points it will "Level Up" into Level 2 Local.

From here through all four grades of Level 5, each Level/Grade covers a 10 point spread in scores. You can't tell which horses are better based on their Level/Grade rank, because, if you are faithful in training them, they will be continually increasing the level of the shows they are eligible for. I'm not sure how many score points are contained in the classes for levels 6 through 8. It will be more than 10. Once a horse reaches Level 8 World, it can go no higher and there is a considerable point spread for these classes.

Many foundations will add about 3 points to the score they are given in a show. However, there is also a consistency factor, which will influence the score a horse will receive. Consistent horses will have the same score each time they show in a week, or perhaps between 1 and 2 points higher or lower than their base score. Inconsistent horses have much wider swings in their scores when shown twice in the same week, and can be harder to predict where their base score actually is. Rarely will there be a horse that is ranked Very Inconsistent.

You can see a chart of all the levels and grades if you click on "My Show Entries" under Showing in the left menu bar. The levels are sometimes referred to by number and other times by their full name. Here is a list of them.

Level 1-- Inhand (Horses are shown in a halter class, not ridden)
Level 2 -- Green under saddle (horses are being ridden, but not jumped)
Level 3 -- Green over fences (horses are now ready to be jumped)
Level 4 -- Training (horses are being schooled to improve the height and complexity of the jumps they can do)
Level 5 -- C Level (more difficult, higher jumps)
Level 6 -- B Level (even higher jumps and more complex patterns of jumps)
Level 7 -- A Level (increasing difficult of jump courses)
Level 8 -- Grand Prix (the highest, most complex jump courses, done by the most talented horses and riders. A horse would have to be competing at this level to qualify for the Olympics in Show Jumping, for instance.)

3. Horses get another kind of points, too. These are awarded to every horse that competes in a class, except for the horse that comes in last, which gets no points. The more horses there are in a class, the more show points will be awarded to each one. Fewer points are awarded to Local grade classes. These points are what you can keep track of on your stable home page. You will receive extra hajibucks each night based on the total number of these show points all your horses have gained. Horses keep these points when they are sold and they are transferred to the new owner.

Showing levels are determined by how many points the horse has earned. Just like there are local 4H level shows, and Grand Prix level shows in real life it it all based on training, and the number of shows.
