I have been breeding two of my stallions with both PPP ratings to both mares with the same ratings and now with one mare that had higher rating so how come my foals get PPS in any form, PSS or SSS? One foal each have gotten full PPP so how does the ratrings work when it comes to breeding? |

Usually it has to do with production and matching, aswell as it is common to see the same or lower ratings in foals. for the matching aspect, when you train your horse, their training bars will go up, you want to match them, for example : mare's week 10 training is 334434 you want the stud to be strong in her weak spots, a good match would be Stud's week 10 traing is 443343 - I hope this helped <3 |

Hi, Granite is right. I would add that there is an element of luck. Plus the pedigree; if one of the mares has EEE in her pedigree she is more likely to breed a PPP. Whereas a mare with many SSP in her pedigree is less likely to breed a PPP. And we all like to balance the strengths and weaknesses, e.g. EEP stallion and a PEE mare, so that there is a higher E to balance the P in the other. We get hooked on tracking the early training, pop up a rider and train your horse. After a few weeks you will see the bars grow (as Granite describes), so if you mare is weak in Int you can the find a stallion with good Int to balance this out in the foal. In theory. But the luck element is large (as in real life). Best of luck. |

I am going to disagree with the pedigree part. When you breed a horse, there's the random factor to decide not only the rating but how strong that rating is. There are EWWs that can be stronger than WWWs. That's why not every WWW makes it to the leaderboard. Those WWWs can be poor producers, even with good training and a pedigree full of WWWs. Top stables breed to top studs for that reason. How do you know how strong your horse is? If it has a decent placing in the leaderboard then congrats. If not, breed to other studs stronger than yours. I always tell people to invest in mares for this reason. Getting a WWW is an achievement, but the real achievement is to have a strong producer. |
