Now let's start Horse breeding!
The first step in Horse Breeding is to select two horses which you'd like to breed. What you'll want to consider when picking a horse is that parents pass on unique traits to their offspring. However, select carefully! Each horse can only breed once.
You may noticed that there are stars directly below a horse. This is to indicate the type of Pedigree a certain horse has. To know more about Pedigrees, click on the "?" button on the upper-right hand corner of the menu.
As parts of the star gets filled, the Pedigree also increases. It starts with the lowest Pedigree of 0 with no parts of the star filled to the highest Pedigree which is 5 and the star is completely filled.
Breeding costs Favor so make sure you have some before proceeding! Here we'll select two Pedigree 2 horses. Also, take note of where the meter is after selecting your horses.
While the horses are breeding, you can improve the baby's Pedigree by feeding the parents. This will also decrease the time you need to wait before the breeding's finished.
You'll notice the Pedigree Predictor moving up as you boost your baby.
Feeding the parents the maximum number of times will yield the best results.
The Baby will have the best possible Pedigree and you can also get it immediately!
From the Pedigree 2 parents, the baby now has Pedigree 3.
Place the baby on your Farm and grow it up to see its unique look and final outputs. You'll also get to name it! Just click on the bar to rename the horse.
Pedigree:
All Horses now have a Pedigree, which awards you Fair points and increases the number of its output. Pedigree is the Power Level of the bred Horse. Once a baby Horse is raised into an Adult, the Pedigree will become active.
