Summit of Legends is closed!

Please see the post in Discord chat for more information.




Welcome to the Summit Breeding Center!

Please visit the Breeding Center here to breed your horses!
Check the posts below for more information on the Breeding Rules, timelines, etc.

If you fail to read the rules Keen will reject the breeding and
tell you to try again after you have read them.

You do not have to incubate the eggs right away. Be sure
to note in your form if you do not wish to incubate them, or
they will automatically begin incubation by the mare who
laid the eggs.

If you wish, you can abort an incubation in progress. The cost is 50,000
imali, or 1 point per foal. You will lose any foals that are in the eggs. If
you wish to do this, the mare will enter the breeding cool down im-
mediately. Send this form to Keen on Discord.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have the correct amount of your preferred
payment method, the other method will be used automatically if it is
available! It is your responsibility to be sure you have enough to pay
for it the way you wish to. This will not be reversed.

Breeding Rules for Artists
In order to claim a breeding, an artist needs to quote the post
and say they claim it. Artists, please be sure that no one else
has claimed the breeding before you post. Also, an artist may
only claim one breeding per week in order to give everyone a
fair chance to participate. You may also only have one
breeding ongoing at a time. All stages must be completed and
approved of before you can claim another breeding.
You may only claim a breeding if you plan to complete the
first stage within 72 hours. If you are not done by the end of
the 72 hour period, the breeding will be placed up again for
someone else to claim. If you find that you will not be able to
complete the breeding due to unforeseen circumstances, PM
Keen so she can place it back up immediately. If an artist
consistently fails to complete their claimed breedings, they
may be removed from the breeding artist list and will no
longer be able to claim breedings.
When you are done with a breeding, send a screen shot of the
completed foal image to Keen. She will either approve it or
ask you to tweak the design. Once the egg is posted, you then
have 4 days to complete the adult. Again, send a screen shot of
this to Keen for approval.
When your breeding is approved and posted, use this form on
their page.

Rules for Owners
Herds
Each player can have one herd to start with. The herd consists
of the Lead Stallion, the Lead Mare, and up to 7 additional
mares. Foals and eggs do not count toward this limit. If a foal
is a colt, he will leave the herd at age three. If a foal is a filly
and there is room in the herd, she will remain with them. If
there is no room by the time the filly turns three years old, she
will leave. If a foal leaves a herd, they are put up for adoption
at The Stallion Run and The Mare's Meadow. You may attempt
to win back your own foal once they are up for adoption, but
you will have the same chance as the rest of the community to
win them. The instant a foal leaves a herd, it no longer belongs
to you. If you want them back, put a lot of effort into your form.
If you do not win your own foal back, any attempt to retrieve
them from the new owner will get you banned permanently.

Breeding
You may only send in a breeding if you own the mare involved.
The foal always goes to the herd that the mare is in. As an
example, if you have a stallion, and someone else has a mare,
and they use your stallion in a breeding with their mare, the
foal(s) will always stay with the mare's herd. Herd stallions may
only breed with their own herd mares unless a breeding is stolen
by a mare. If so, the mare has a 20% chance of being enticed to
stay with the stallion's herd. If this happens, it cannot be reversed.
No items may be used on another player's herd member, so any
items must be used on your mare.
Only mares and stallions may be bred together. Inbreeding is not
prohibited, but should be done with care. Improper inbreeding
may cause birth malformations in the foal(s) that result from the
breeding.

Summit of Legends Genetics
The genetics of SoL are very similar to real life horse genetics,
with a couple exceptions due to the magical nature of these
animals. Here is a short explanation of the basic genes:

Definitions
Allele - One of two genes in a pair.

Example: in the gene pair EE, one of those is called an
Allele, and both are called Alleles. Each horse inherits a single
Allele in a pair from each parent.

Homozygous - Both alleles in a pair are the same.

Example: In the gene pair EE and ee, the horse would
be called homozygous because both are the same.

Heterozygous - Both alleles in a pair are different.

Example: In a gene pair Ee, the horse would be called
heterozygous because the two alleles are different from each
other.

Dominant - Even if the horse only has one allele of this gene
pair, the horse will display the trait.

Example: A horse with the heterozygous pair Ee will
still show as a Black horse, because black does not have to
have a Homozygous dominant pair.

Recessive - The horse must have a homogygous dominant gene
pair for this gene to show on the horse.

Example: The Pearl gene must have two dominant
alleles (PrlPrl) to express on the horse's coat. If there is only
one dominant allele, the horse will carry the gene and can
pass it on to its foals, but it will not show the gene itself.

Incomplete Dominant - A gene that is heterozygous will show
as a less-intense version than the homozygous dominant gene
pair.

Example: The cream gene (Cr) will show as a
lightening of the coat if it is heterozygous (Crcr) but a greater
lightening of the coat happens when the genes are homozygous
dominant (CrCr).

Codominance - This occurs when a horse inherits two dominant
genes that express themselves together instead of one covering
up the other.

Example: When a horse is roan, it is showing a
codominance. The roan (white) hairs are showing with the
base coat color (Black, Bay, or Chestnut).

Epistasis - When one gene suppresses another.

Example: Black, when present, will cover any red gene
unless agouti is also present.

Recessive Epistasis - A recessive epistatic gene hides the
presence of another gene by being homozygous recessive.

Example: When a horse is ee (double recessive for
black, it shows as a chestnut horse. The Agouti gene could be
AA, Aa, or aa, and it would make no difference to the
appearance of the horse; it will always show as a red horse if
there is no black gene for the Agouti to suppress.

Dominant Epistasis - Will express on a horse to the exclusion of
any other dominant gene.

Example: Gray will always end up completely covering
any coat color on a horse, regardless of the dominance of the
coat color genes. This expresses either in a horse that is Gg or
GG.

Hypostatic - The gene that is suppressed by the epistatic gene
previously mentioned.

Lethal Alleles - Both White and Overo cause either death in
utero or death shortly after birth. Overo is known to produce
foals that live until birth, but that die within a day or two
afterwards. Foals with OO are all-white with blue eyes, which
is beautiful, but they die either before birth or soon after-
wards because of intestinal tract abnormalities, likely among
other complications.

Genetics Descriptions
Extension
EE - The horse is homozygous dominant for Black and will
show black pigment.
Ee - The horse is heterozygous for Black and will show black
pigment.
ee - The horse is homozygous recessive for Black and will NOT
show black pigment.

Agouti
AA - The horse is homozygous dominant for Agouti and will
show black pigment only on the legs, muzzle, mane, tail, and
ear rims, but only if the horse is also EE or Ee. The rest of the
body is red, ranging from mahogany to bright bay.
Aa - The horse is heterozygous for Agouti and will display the
same as AA.
aa - The horse is homozygous recessive for Agouti and will NOT
limit any black pigment.
AtA - The horse is homozygous dominant for Agouti (brown
version) and will show black pigment only on the legs, muzzle,
mane, tail, and ear rims, but only if the horse is also EE or Ee.
The rest of the body is brown with a slight reddish tint.
Ata - The horse is heterozygous for Agouti and will display the
same as AtA.
A+A - The horse is homozygous dominant for Agouti (Wild
form) and will show black pigment only on the legs, muzzle,
mane, tail, and ear rims, but only if the horse is also EE or Ee.
The rest of the body can vary from light honey bay to dark
mahogany bay. The difference in Wild bay is that the black
pigment is further restricted to even less of the legs,
sometimes even only covering the coronet band.
A+a - The horse is heterozygous for Agouti (Wild form) and
will display the same as A+A.

Flaxen
FF - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Flaxen gene
and no changes effect the appearance of the horse.
Ff - The horse is heterozygous for the Flaxen gene and no
changes effect the appearance of the horse.
ff - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Flaxen gene and
the mane and tail of a red horse are lightened to a creamy,
pale blonde. Black horses are not effected since flaxen does
not effect the black pigmentation.

Pangare
PaPa - The horse is homozygous dominant for Pangare and the
hair around the underbelly, muzzle, and eyes are shaded
lighter, usually a tan color.
Papa - The horse is heterozygous for Pangare and will display
the same as PaPa.
papa - The horse is homozygous recessive for Pangare and no
change effects the coat.

Gray
In SoL, the foal will show its base coat, switching to its final
gray form when it becomes an adult. The horse that has
completed the graying process is called "White Gray." Since
grey affects/masks all colors , dilutions and modifiers, skin
and eye color depends upon what other color modifiers or
dilutions the horse has.
GG - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Gray gene and
will slowly, over the first 6-15 years of the horse's life, slowly
fade to gray, no matter what color it was born as. This will
happen with or without dappling.
Gg - The horse is heterozygous for the Gray gene and will
display the same as GG.
gg - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Gray gene and
no changes effect the coat.

Sooty
When combined with Roan, this gene has a chance to mutate
into Brindle.
StySty - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Sooty gene and will
display a darkening of the coat and sometimes even dappling.
Stysty - The horse is heterozygous for the Sooty gene and will
display the same as StySty.
stysty - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Sooty gene
and no changes effect the coat.

Champagne
ChCh - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Champagne
gene and black coats will appear taupe and red coats will
appear golden. The skin is pink with darker "freckles" under
the hair. Mane and tail are also diluted. Eye color ranges from
Light Amber to varying shades of green. Different combinations
with other modifying genes will alter how this gene behaves.
Chch - The horse is heterozygous for the Champagne gene and
display the same as ChCh.
chch - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Champagne
gene and no changes effect the coat.

Cream
CrCr - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Cream gene
and the base coat will be lightened drastically. Different
combinations with other modifying genes will alter how this
gene behaves. These horses always have pink skin and blue
eyes.
Crcr - The horse is heterozygous for the Cream gene and will
have a lesser lightening effect on both red and black horses
than CrCr does. The eyes and skin coloring are dependent on
the original coat coloring.
crcr - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Cream gene
and no changes effect the coat.

Dun
DD - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Dun gene and
will have a lighter version of the original coat color. This can
effect Black, Bay, and Chestnut equally. The points are a
darker shade of the main body color. These horses always have
primitive markings (Dorsal stripe & leg barring) but they can
be so light as to be nearly invisible in some individuals.
Different combinations with other modifying genes and bases
will alter how this gene behaves.
Dd - The horse is heterozygous for the Dun gene and will
display the same as DD.
dd - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Dun gene and
no changes effect the coat.

Mushroom
MuMu - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Mushroom
gene and no changes effect the coat.
Mumu - The horse is heterozygous for the Mushroom gene and
no changes effect the coat.
mumu - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Mushroom
gene and will display as a lightening (almost silvering) of the
mane and tail, along with the main coat being a flat beige or
sepia coloring. Does not effect black or bay horses.

Pearl
PrlPrl - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Pearl gene
and no changes effect the coat.
Prlprl - The horse is heterozygous for the Pearl gene and no
changes effect the coat.
CrPrl or Crprl - Behaves like CrCr.
prlprl - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Pearl gene
and lightens the coat in a similar way to champagne, but with
a slight metallic sheen.

Silver
ZZ - The horse is homozygous dominant for the Silver gene and
displays as a silvery mane and tail with a black to silvery gray
body, with or without dappling. This effects the mane and tail
as well. This does NOT effect any red on the body.
Zz - The horse is heterozygous for the Silver gene and displays
the same as ZZ.
zz - The horse is homozygous recessive for the Silver gene and
no changes effect the coat.

Appaloosa
Appaloosa is much more complex than the other genes, and
can display in a wide variety of ways. The Leopard Complex
(Lp) gene is what determines whether or not a horse will
display any appaloosa gene. The PATN1 gene is what
determines HOW the Leopard Complex is displayed. Because
of this, the different combinations will be written out here. In
order to be more clear for this part of the guide, I will be
quoting directly from a website that I use often: IMEHA

LpLp (no PATN1)
Varnish Roan: Horses with this coloration are born a “normal”
solid color and get lighter as they age. The original coloration
of the horse is retained over the prominent bony parts such as
the hips, withers, shoulders, legs, facial bones, etc. This
lightening of the coat is NOT the same as the Greying gene!
Also, it is different from the classic Roan coloration and can
be told apart from it by looking at the face. A classic Roan
will have a solid colored head while a Varnish Roan only has
color on the bony parts of the face such as the ridge of the
nose, cheek bones, etc.

Lplp (no PATN1)
Same as LpLp

LpLp PATN1
Frost Appaloosa: White hairs scattered on the topline of the
horse looks as if someone had sprinkled snow or frost on it. It
can be as little as a dusting along the back bone of the horse
to going as far as the elbows and hips.
Lacey Blanket Appaloosa: A solid white blanket that is very
lacey around the edges and is often quite small.
Few Spot Appaloosa or No Spot Appaloosa: This is the
maximum expression of the Appaloosa coloring. The horse is
mostly white with a few spots found mostly on the head, neck,
elbows or flank areas. Other Appaloosa traits are still seen
such as the mottled skin, eye sclera, etc.
Snowcap Appaloosa: White covers the hips and croup,
sometimes extending over the back up to the shoulders and
around the belly. There are NO spots in the white area. The
edges of the white area may be crisp or roaned.

Lplp PATN1
Blanket Appaloosa: White covers the hips and croup with spots
in the white area. The edges of the white area may be crisp or
roaned.
Extended Blanket Appaloosa: White covers the hips, croup and
extends over the back sometimes to the shoulders with spots in
the white area. The edges of the white area may be crisp or
roaned.
Leopard Appaloosa: The coat is white with colored spots over
the entire body. The color of the spots are determined by the
base color of the horse (example bay, chestnut, buckskin, etc)
Minimal Blanket Appaloosa: A very small white blanket that is
located well on the top of the horse's rump.
Semi-Leopard Appaloosa: The body is white with colored spots
with the head, neck and legs retaining the base color of the
horse.
Snowflake Appaloosa: This pattern consists of white spots
instead of colored spots distributed randomly over the coat.

Paint Markings and KIT Genes WIP
Paint markings can vary widely in their appearance and
effects, so I will list the variation names and descriptions
here. I will do the same as with the Appaloosa and quote from
the previously mentioned website.

OO
Overo, homozygous dominant, lethal in utero or soon
after birth. If born alive, the foal will be all white with blue
eyes. it will die within a few days.

Oo
Overo

FrFr
Frame Overo, homozygous dominant, lethal in utero or soon
after birth. If born alive, the foal will be all white with blue
eyes. it will die within a few days.

Frfr
Frame Overo: This horizontally oriented pattern spreads from the
belly and progresses upwards towards the back. It normally
looks like it has a “frame” of color surrounding the white and
the white will rarely ever cross the topline. Even the most
maximally expressed frame overo will retain color along the
topline, ears and lower legs unless another white spotting
gene such as sabino is present. The head is usually extensively
marked (bald face, apron face, bonnet face). Many times a
horse will have a rectangular “mustache” along the upper lip.
Blue eyes are common (even without being surrounded by
white). All legs are usually solid colored though frame overos
with "normal" leg markings are periodically seen.
Maximum Frame Overo: At it's most maximum expression,
frame overo (with no other white pattern genes involved) will
cause the horse to be almost totally white. The only color may
be found on the horse is the head around the ears and if any
other color remains on the body it's usually as small spots of
color, roan or speckled on areas such as the tail base and
along the topline, these areas may not have colored hair, it
may just be the colored skin showing through the white hair.
Minimal Frame Overo: A minimal overo will have less than 30%
white on the body. The most minimal expression may only
manifest as a bald face and no body spots.

Sabino
The sabino pattern is described as irregular spotting usually on
the legs, belly and face, often with extensive roaning.

SbSb or Sbsb
Common traits of this pattern are a bald face, wide-blaze or
apron blaze that extends over the muzzle and under the jaw.
These may or may not have black spots on or around the
muzzle and white that extends past where the bridle would
lay. High white stockings that extend past mid-knee or mid-
hock and terminate in a point at the front of the leg or into
disconnected leg markings are also a common characteristic.
Many times some form of body white, belly belly spots, girth
spots etc. is found. This gene can also produce the Medicine
Hat pattern combined with the tobiano and overo patterns.

Sb1Sb1 or Sb1sb1
For horses that have this gene, one copy produces horses with
two or more white legs or feet, often with white running up
the anterior part of the leg, an extensive blaze, spotting on
the midsection, with jagged or roaned margins to the pattern.
Horses with 2 copies of this gene are at least 90% white and
are referred to as sabino white.
Sabino White: At it's most maximum expression sabino will
cause the horse to be almost totally white, if any color
remains it's usually as roan or speckled on areas such as the
ears, tail base, chest and flanks, these areas may not have
colored hair, it may just be the colored skin showing through
the white hair. They eyes are typically dark.

A rare mutation of Sabino is Gulastra Plume, which limits the
expression to the tail only, leaving the body unmarked.

SW1SW1, SW2sw2, and SW3sw3
The color looks like it was poured on from above and dribbling
down the sides of the horse. 90% of splash whites have a dark
topline and white underline. The spots are always smooth with
clearly defined edges like tobianos and never jagged like
frame overos or sabinos. Almost all have white legs from
knees and hocks down and may even have no solid color on
legs at all. The top of the neck as well as the ears are almost
always colored but the eyes are only rarely surrounded by
color. The face markings of splashed whites are straight-edged
and bottom heavy though the most minimal expression may
only show a rounded star higher than normal on the forehead
or a teardrop shaped snip on the muzzle. Splash is also thought
to cause "normal" face markings to skew such as a blaze that
swings to one side of the face instead of going straight down
the nose. The eyes are normally blue or grey.
Extreme Splash White: At its most maximum expression
splash will cause the horse to be totally white with blue eyes.
If any color remains it's usually as small spots of color, roan or
speckled on the topline and ears.

SW2SW2 and SW3SW3
Splash white, homozygous dominant, lethal in utero. In SoL,
this results in a successful breeding, but about halfway
through the pregnancy, the mare looses the foal.

Tobiano
ToTo or To+
Tobiano is a vertically oriented spotting pattern which starts
at the top of the horse and spreads downward, crossing the
back anywhere between the withers and the tail. The spots
are the base color of the horse and are normally smooth
edged, large and rounded. The head will almost always be
colored even in it's most maximum expression (unless another
gene is involved such as sabino, frame overo, splash or
dominant white). Normally all legs are white though rarely a
tobiano with one or two dark legs has cropped up. If facial
marks are present they are “normal” markings like a blaze, or
star, stripe and snip. Most tobiano horses have a mixed colored
and white mane and tail though fully colored or totally white
are also commonly found.
Maximum Tobiano: At its most maximum expression tobiano
(with no other white pattern genes involved) will cause the
horse to be almost totally white. The only color on the horse
is the head and if any other color remains it's usually as small
spots of color, roan or speckled on areas such as the tail base,
chest and flanks, these areas may not have colored hair, it
may just be the colored skin showing through the white hair.
Minimal Tobiano: This is the most minimal expression
of tobiano. The horse may show as little white as four socks
or stockings along with a small white patch at the withers,
hips or tail dock.

White
There are now 21 known variants of the white gene with each
showing slightly different manifestations of the pattern. The
W1, W2, W4, W6, W7 variants are most likely to cause the
horse to be born completely white and it stays white its entire
life. Some dominant white horses show a variety of roaning
similar to sabino and is often mistaken for sabino. Like grey,
it affects/masks all colors, dilutions and modifiers. The skin is
pink and the eyes will be brown, hazel or blue. To be able to
know what color offspring a dominant white horse may
produce you will either need to know what color the parents
were or have it tested. This gene is lethal in its homozygous
form and usually the embryo never develops.
In SoL, there are only two forms of the white gene: W1 and
W2.

W1W1 or W2W2
Homozygous white. Lethal in utero.

W1w1
The horse is born completely white and remains white its
entire life. Like grey, W1 affects/masks all colors, dilutions
and modifiers. The skin is pink and the eyes will be brown,
hazel or blue. This gene is lethal in its homozygous form and
usually the embryo never develops.

W2w2
The white is not completely masking the entire horse. It is
born with this patterning and retains it throughout its life.
The base coat shows through in areas. Like grey, W2 affects/
masks all colors, dilutions and modifiers. The skin is pink and
the eyes will be brown, hazel or blue. This gene is lethal in its
homozygous form and usually the embryo never develops.

Roan
In SoL, this pattern shows as a simple lightening of the body
color. Examples are given in the Example post. When both
roan and sooty genes are present, they have a low chance to
mutate into Brindle.
RnRn or Rnrn
This type of Roaning is called "dark headed", "true" or "classic"
roan and is genetically separate from the roaning that can
happen with the leopard complex (Appaloosa) patterns and
the roaning that can occur with the sabino and rabicano
patterns. Roan can appear on any color and lightens the body
while leaving the head, mane, tail and legs their original
colors depending upon their colors and other modifiers.
Corn Roan: This pattern can affect ALL colors. The
head, legs, mane and tail retain the original color while the
rest if the body is lighter. The lighter color on the body is
caused by white hairs intermixed evenly with the base color
of the horse. In addition to this, there are darker spots of the
“normal” base color scattered about on the body. The darker
spots were named “corn spots” due to their similarity in
shape and coloring to the kernels found on Indian corn.

Other Patterns & Mutations
Brindle: A rare mutation of the sooty and roan genes.
If a horse has both of these genes, there is a small chance
that they will mutate into Brindle. Because this is a mutation,
it cannot be passed on to foals. Please see the example post
to see how this looks.
Mosaic: Extremely rare pattern. This pattern looks like
a tobiano but expresses chestnut where white usually falls,
and a darker body color where the "normal" spots would go.
This pattern is not caused by a gene but is chimeric (twins
fusing into a single foal in utero). Because this is a mutation,
it cannot be passed on to foals. Please see the example post
to see how this looks.
Pintaloosa: When both Appaloosa and Pinto are present
on a horse.
Rabicano (RbRb or Rbrb): A type of roaning in which
the white hairs are confined to the flanks, ribs, and dock of
the tail. It is particularly prominent on the flanks, often
appearing to follow the pattern of growth of the hairs. Over
the ribs the pattern can have a striped appearance. In some
horses only the dock of the tail is affected (skunk tail) and on
such horses the tail may be partly or nearly all white. It can
be told apart from Sabino by the white hairs at the base of
the tail. Please see the example post
to see how this looks.

Manchado is an under-studied rare mutation of other paint
genes. Next to nothing is known about it. It is thought to be
the result of an unknown modifier that is unrelated to any
other spotting gene.

Combinations
Color genes and other patterns can combine on one horse to
produce a unique Gene set or appearance. Here are some
examples:

Dunalino: D_ CrCr
---When both Dun and a double cream gene are present, the
result is a lovely Dunalino (cremello + dun)
Tovero: To_ Oo
Frame Tovero: To_ Frfr

When you combine KIT genes, only two can be present. KIT
genes are: Tobiano, Roan, White, Sabino, and Sabino 1. A
horse can have any two of these genes with the exception of
WW, which is fatal in utero.
Examples:
Tobiano Roan: ToRn
Tobiano Sabino: ToSb or ToSb1
White Tobiano: ToW
White Sabino: WSb or WSb1
White Roan: RnW

Another interesting occurrence with KIT genes, is that they
are linked to the Extension gene. One of the KIT genes will
pair up with one of the Extension genes, and will always pass
on one pairing or another. Here is an example:

Say a horse is
Ee aa TRn (Black Tobiano Roan)

That means that this horse will always pass on:
Pairing 1: Black tobiano & Chestnut Roan
or
Pairing 2: Chestnut Tobiano & Black Roan

Which pair will depend on how the KIT genes link with the
Extension genes. If the genes link up to produce that first set,
then that horse will never be able to produce a chestnut
tobiano or black roan.

Life Cycle of Arraspel
To start with, one real life month equals one year in Arraspel.

The horses, unicorns, pegasi, and alicorns of Arraspel do have
a set lifespan. Horses can only live from 20-30 years. Once a
horse reaches 20 years old, their chance of passing on increases
with every year.
Unicorns and Pegasi live for 40-50 years with the same aging
process starting at age 40.
Alicorns live for thousands of years, so we will never see one
die of old age.

They are born in an egg, which then hatches into a foal, who
then will grow into an adult in due time. A foal cannot breed,
train, or compete. An egg, for obvious reasons, cannot either.

After breeding, when the egg is laid, it will need to be
incubated with its mother for 4 weeks, at which point it
hatches, finally revealing the lovely foal inside. The foal will
stay with its mother for an additional 2 weeks, nursing from her.
After the foal is weaned, it may stay with the herd until it is
3 years old, at which point, if it is a colt and does not challenge
the current Lead Stallion for control of the herd, it will be
pushed from the herd to join the bachelor group. If he does
challenge the Lead Stallion, and he wins, the colt becomes Lead
Stallion and the old one will leave the herd and go to the
Bachelor Herd instead.
If the foal is a filly, it can stay with the herd unless there are too
many mares. If that is the case, and no room has been made,
she too will be pushed from the herd. Foals can be moved from
herd to herd once they are weaned. A foal is fully grown at 5
years old.

After a successful breeding, a mare will lay one, two, or three
eggs 2 weeks after the breeding date. After a mare lays her
egg(s), she must recover from the effort. Her recovery time is
4 weeks if she laid only one egg, 5 weeks if she laid two, and
6 weeks if she laid three eggs. If she was bred and the foal died
in utero, her cool down is 2 weeks from the time she loses the
foal. If she was bred and the breeding was unsuccessful, she
must wait 7 full days before trying again.

A stallion may breed once per week to mares in his own herd.
A breeding may be stolen only once every 4 weeks.

If you win an egg adoption, you must have a mare that can
raise the foal after it hatches. Foal adoptions do not need a
mare as they are already weaned, but you will still have to
wait the full time for it to mature. This varies based on the
age of the foal at adoption.
