WOuldn't it work for PT or for a breeding 'score'?

Training ability and Breeding ability are slightly different formulas but both based on the average of sire and dam ability. PT has other factors and is not the same as training ability.

I've tried many times to shoot down the myth that it picks a random amount from a sire and a random amount from the dam and then averages them. Not sure what started that one. It's the other way around. Average first then other factors. Otherwise you would have extreme volatility. Just want to make sure it does not get canonized the backwards way:D

Ammit, let me know if this is good enough, when you can, and I'll redo the post to look like I know what I'm talking about!

So is it that the mare's breeding ability and the stallion's breeding ability is added together, then averaged and the foal's breeding ability is pulled from that number? Imagining it as a bell curve or whatever other fancy factors add in on that, but not sure if I explained it well lol

I was trying to do a visual that showed how sometimes you get scores pulled from different places in the mare and stallions breeding ranges. One time you may get them pulled from the top (the Holy Guacomole) end and get a really great foal, but then it could be from the low end, ormiddle. I've been trying to figure out a visual aid for this for AGES and can't get it right, so just ignore this one, too!
