💞 How to Breed Horses

Breeding horses allows you to grow your stable, plan future bloodlines, and produce foals from your own mares and stallions. This guide covers the basics of breeding, what you need before starting, and how the process works.

📋 Breeding Basics

Aging Speed

Horses age by one month every 2.5 days

Age-Up Tokens

Players who want to accelerate aging can use age-up tokens from the webstore.

Each token advances a horse by 1 month.

Breeding Readiness

In Heat Mares

A mare must be in heat before breeding can happen. You can check if a mare is in heat in the Welfare tab. 

How Breeding Works

Breeding is entirely based on your stallion and mare choice.

Good breeding starts with good pairing choices. Before breeding, think about:

Breeding is not just about producing foals quickly. It is also about building horses with purpose, whether that means better lines, stronger performance traits, or a breeding program you are proud of. It is important to get your horses genetic tested for responsible breeding. 

Pregnancy

Once breeding is successful, the mare becomes pregnant and the pregnancy begins immediately.

Pregnancies also have:

Pregnant mares can recieve an ultrasound via Vet to recieve the estimated due date. If a mare goes past her estimated due date, the mare can have a c-section done. 

📦 Horse Limits

Before breeding, make sure you have space within your horse limit.

Breeding does take horse ownership limits into account, which means:

If you are close to your limit, consider focusing on gaining xp through challenges, quests, or jobs.Â
