Well, if you want to message them you could, but there aren't any game rules against ignoring breeding suggestions. That's really all the notes can do, is suggest, and there's no way to enforce that, and I think personally hounding people who don't follow breeding suggestions is frowned upon. If you want to really make sure all your stock is bred to even generations, you would have to make chat rooms and only add people you trust.

Ok I have a ton of people confront me when the horse didn't paper good enough even tho it passed all testing it's just common courtesy to respect the rules of the horse your breeding to its really rude not to and not respecting the rules on the horse is frowned upon as well by many people not just me

The horse is already spayed since the breeding was so off but my studs AFPT is still low

That's ridiculous I have to follow everyone else's rules but no one will follow mine!

It is actually against the rules to put up breeding regulations for public breeding. If it is up for public breeding it is available for people to breed their horses to regardless of qualifications. There was a big thing about it when I first started. We probably need to restate that rule periodically for newer members. Now, breeding rules can be put in place in your buddy chats or with use of straws, and if they broke rules with that sort or breeding it would be best to message them and work things out, but you really have no grounds to make them do something with the foal if it was public breeding, not sure if it is.

What Wildland said. The whole point of the chat rooms was to allow upgraded members the opportunity to screen who might breed to and buy their horses. It is absolutely against the rules to have restrictions on a horses page if it is up for public breeding.

I have seen other players have restrictions on their studs pages in public as well it's not just me! I don't see why I'm the one being frowned upon here I did nothing wrong I'm only follow what I've seen from other players!

Starfire, you can unfortunately only do so much. There is no way for you to control what people do when your horse is up for *public* breeding. It is too bad but notes are not a viable way to specify the breeding you want done with your horse, they are only suggestions. You are welcome to not follow what it says in others' notes it's just not super nice. I have a feeling the person who did that is new, and doesn't know about generation breeding. I know I didn't when I was new. I recommend not putting your high quality studs up for public breeding :)

Ok. I wish you luck. Now on the point of the foal wouldn't do anybody any good, some of the top show horses have been created in such breeding where the foal gets low breeding ability, but really high showing ability from the high yen parent and so gets spayed. Also, your stallion only has two foals. Once you have enough foals to have an average do any good (my statistics class says 30 is the lowest number) outliers will become insignificant which is why averages aren't reliable until then. Also, spaied horses do better in the show boards, which will make it much easier for your boy to get in the top producing boards. With so few foals, foals from any mare can screw your boys numbers incorrectly either way, and hopefully you will get many many more foals that are higher than his average to even it out. I wish you luck, and just trying to remember everything people told me so you know how things factor. This is a complex game. Fact, deleting foal will short term heighten AFPT, but in the long term it probably wouldn't even be noticeable because enough other foals will bring it up. Possibility, foal could grow up to be a good show horse, win owner lots of money, maybe end up on a board, Winning foals factor a lot into top producing stallion/mare leader boards, your boy could get a jump start onto one. Maybe, but he is high gen/quallity so I think he has a chance for the big leagues, and they are only considered with 10 living foals and it takes a little bit for foals to become top showers. That is what I've found with my boy, who has his foundie cross foals intact, and he has been solidly stuck on the leader boards even though I have never been able to breed him evenly.

Wow...ok...

1) Just because one person breaks the rules doesn't make it ok for others to break the rules. Everyone is responsible for their own honor and their own reputation.

2) It's not "common courtesy" to respect those rules because those rules should not be there on horses up for public and Do Not Apply if they are. It used to be - but things changed. Newer players likely wouldn't even think to do that unless they're seeing other people do it. So obviously, we have a problem here. I'll have to see how Ammit wants to address this.

3) AFPT is no big deal. It's just a point of interest for you. Only the best foals are looked at for the leaderboard.
