In the end itnisnall up to you, Destiny 😉😊

There are lots of WWW stallions out there these days, just gotta figure put what is most important for your goal in any given breeding

There are a number of famous TBs in the past that had linebreeding to very popular or famous sires, for sure.

Not every sire is great for line breeding tho, some had great decedents using that method, others had those descendants end up less quality than expected.
The trouble is it takes time to figure that out

Ah okay. It's also hard finding an all around WWW sire to breed to

Destiny,
Well I am not sure about the racehorse analogy you give. But yes, if you see the same sire 2 or more times in generations beyond the first 1 or 2, it is line breeding

Her mom is. Also weakest in movement, and a little down in scope and strength, so you may have issues with movement affecting her entire Dressage rating, and maybe have some trouble with the jumping end too

Destiny, you have time to wait and see on that filly, keep trainig her, she is only 1.

Her sire does have slight weak ess in movement and scope, so if she shows that as well, be more careful 😉

Ven, sibling to sibling also counts as inbreeding.

Half siblings bred together gets a little more of a grey area, but I personally would still consider that inbreeding.

Linebreeding is more like, you see the same sire in the pedigree, for instance, as grandsire, but with that generation removed, it goes more to linebreeding.

That is the easiest way I can explain it in text

She's untrained, wait until she has her week 4 onwards to see if they even match.

-HEE Click- This is the filly I'm planning on breeding to her sire because so far he has produced outstanding off spring for me

Oh, really? I thought inbreeding was sibling x sibling. But you definitely know better than I do

12:25:38 Buckeye!
Technically sire to daughter is inbreeding.
Linebreeding is a bit different.
But the main issue in game is the weak traits, if any.

That's right! I'm writing a book. I'm not sure how I want to go about this, I know I've done a lot of planning *cough* 14 pages of info later *cough*. All I do know is I want to share my work with the avid readers/writers in the community! I don't trust my skills enough to share my progress with my friends and family, so I would love for anyone willing to step into that role and offer some advice during this.

I would be honored to have so many wonderful people help. I am currently through my first chapter! So the hard part (at least on my end) is over with haha. And if anyone wishes, I can share and excerpt or even the whole thing here.

EDIT: This isn't to publish, this is just to have a quality work I can be proud of so I can say I wrote a book.

Premise:

In the kingdom of Kheapan, a prophecy foretells the rise of an ancient evil that can only be thwarted by the union of a true heir and the last remaining dragon. However, when a warlord intent on harnessing the dragon's power seizes the soft-spoken Safiya in a case of mistaken identity, believing her to be the true heir, fate takes an unexpected turn.

Safiya finds herself imprisoned alongside the majestic dragon, and as the truth about the prophecy unravels, she discovers a common enemy threatening both her home and Zafir's ambitions. Realizing that an ancient force seeks to exploit the dragon's power for nefarious purposes, Safiya and Zafir reluctantly form an uneasy alliance to confront the impending darkness.

Their journey takes them through perilous landscapes and ancient ruins, where they encounter enigmatic allies and decipher cryptic clues. Along the way, Safiya and Zafir learn to trust each other's strengths and navigate the complexities of their intertwined destinies. As the bond between captor and captive deepens, they must overcome personal differences to unlock the dragon's dormant powers and thwart the imminent threat.

My current issues:

I'm not sure if I like the dragon idea. I love the thought of using them in my book, however I don't want it be common or cliche, though with so much literature already out there and currently being written, it's bound to have some similarities. The thought of dragons entices me because I can do a lot of emotional parts with it. The exhilarating feeling flying, the way creating a bond with a creature of such raw power feels, etc. and even some heartbreaking scenes such as it's eventual death/injury, being driven away from connections the main character has made because of the threat against the dragon, and even more.

However, if I were to change it now, I'm not sure what to change it to. I wan't to include magic, but not in a pushy, in-your-face magic system. I want it to be something bizarre and rare so it gives my main character challenges and truly tests the bonds of who she can trust and who she can't. The original idea is after the last great war was won, dragons abandoned the humans and took their source of magic with them for fear of it being abused to enact revenge even more than the loss of a war would cause. Since then they have been revered as a symbol of strength and wealth, now mainly used by the royal family in certain symbols.

But dragons are super easy to fit into such a long history, that I'm not sure what to replace them with if I did unless it was some system of the gods, at which point I'd change it to be some kind of big, every 100 years type spectacle where magic is gifted to one person, and it will follow her journey through the trials and such but that doesn't sit right either. I also considered a military type system and an academy, but it feels very similar to a lot of popular books that I'm not sure I could make it as unique as I want.

Anyways. Thoughts?

Keep the dragons. They're popular for a reason- everybody loves a good dragon story! And you can play with the mythology of them to make it fit your specific book.

I probably will since I've already made them basis of most everything. I'm just not sure if I want to keep the evil thing, or do the trials and just keep them included. Either way is very tempting

Okay so the latest update I have:

Trashing it all. I'm keeping dragons, riders, magic. However, to tie in that nomadic tribe type thing that I wanted my character to have, I'm going to have her with the gift of Wordspinning. Basically it's an ancient language-based magic that allows her to control people she speaks to, talk to anyone with minor language barriers, and even some animals/creatures, along with other things I have to work out. Being it's from her tribe, where it's normally used to tell stories about their history and dieties, not many people know if it or are gifted with it so when she get caught being a thief, the whole "inducted into the riders to avoid being killed" thing happens which is the start of the story. The rest is evil creatures, betrayal, etc.

I heavily considered the king being evil and possessed by on if these creatures that he created to bring in some more depth but I'm not sure.
