Breed a Legacy.
Pair mature horses from your own stable or choose a public stallion, discover a uniquely blended offspring, and build generations of beautiful champions.
Before You Breed
The breeding pages show horses that currently qualify. If a horse is missing, check these essentials first.
Two Ways to Breed
Choose an eligible mare and stallion that you own. Review the pair, pay the normal breeding cost, and the foal joins your stable.
Choose one of your eligible mares and a stallion listed by another member. You receive the foal, while the stallion's owner receives the listed stud fee.
Breeding Step by Step
Select your mare, then choose either your own eligible stallion or one from the public Stud Directory.
Check the parents and the complete price. A public stud fee is charged in addition to the site's normal breeding cost.
Complete the breeding. The foal receives recorded parents, inherited racing potential, and permanent generated adult artwork.
The Public Stud Directory
Owners may offer eligible adult stallions to other breeders from the stallion's management page. A new listing begins with a suggested fee of 100 Valbucks, but its owner may change the price—including setting it to 0 for a free breeding.
- The total price is displayed for review before the breeding is completed.
- The current stud fee is checked again at checkout, so an outdated page cannot charge the wrong amount.
- A stallion disappears from the directory during his 24-hour rest period and returns automatically when ready, provided he remains listed.
- The owner may change the fee or remove the listing at any time.
- A public stud listing is removed automatically if the horse changes owners.
- All normal breeding requirements still apply to public pairings.
What the Offspring Inherits
A Unique Adult Appearance
The breeding system creates a new 1000 × 708 PNG by blending visual traits from both parents. That generated image belongs permanently to the offspring and is stored with its individual record—it is not merely the standard species picture.
Young offspring display the normal foal artwork while below Level 3. When the horse reaches Level 3, its own generated adult image appears automatically throughout the site.
Racing Bloodlines
Natural racing qualities can pass from the mother and father to their offspring. Training and actual race results still matter: inheritance supplies potential, while the horse's career determines its final record, earnings, rating, and value.
What Is Not Inherited
- Equipped backgrounds, toys, saddles, ribbons, and other decor stay with the parent.
- Temporary rainbow or negative visual effects do not alter genetics.
- A parent's race wins are not copied; every offspring begins and earns its own racing record.
- The stud fee and public listing status are business settings, not inherited traits.
Pedigrees and Generations
Every bred horse stores its mother and father, including foals created through the public Stud Directory. Those links build a pedigree reaching back as many as ten generations, with portraits and links to each ancestor's public page whenever that ancestor is available.
Parents → Grandparents → Great-grandparents → Continuing bloodline
Pedigrees help breeders plan pairings, follow successful racing families, preserve rare appearances, and avoid losing track of important ancestors. Open a horse's public page and choose its pedigree option to explore the family.
Common Questions
Why is my mare not listed for breeding?
Check that she is at least Level 3, has completed her full five-day rest period, satisfies the site's pairing rules, and that you have room for a new foal.
Why is a stallion missing from the Stud Directory?
He may not be publicly listed, may be below Level 3, may still be within his 24-hour rest period, or may currently fail another breeding requirement. If he remains listed, he returns automatically when his cooldown ends.
Who receives a foal from a public stud breeding?
The mare's owner receives the foal. The stallion remains with his owner, who receives the full stud fee after a successful breeding.
Is the stud fee the complete breeding price?
No. The public stud fee is added to the site's normal breeding cost. Review the displayed total before confirming the pairing.
Can a stallion be listed for free?
Yes. The default fee is 100 Valbucks, but the owner may change it to any permitted nonnegative amount, including 0.
Why does my new offspring show the foal picture?
That is intentional. Its unique generated image is the permanent adult artwork and appears when it reaches Level 3.
Will decorations become part of the offspring?
No. Backgrounds, toys, decor, and wearable adornments are equipped inventory items and are never merged into breeding genetics.
Do appearance potions change breeding results?
Temporary rainbow and negative effects do not. A permanent gender potion changes the horse's real gender and therefore changes which breeding role it can fill.
Does an excellent pedigree guarantee a champion?
No. Good bloodlines can improve inherited potential, but training, race distance, fatigue, and performance still shape the horse's career.
