I’ve never really seen any guide or tips on breeding Brindle horses. Is it even possible? TIA :)

Brindle is not a heritable (inheritable?) gene. Using brindles for breeding slightly skews your chances of getting a brindle, but it mostly boils down to luck. :)

And the brindles that you use have to be direct parents, eg sire and dam. A Brindle grandparent+ does nothing to increase your chances. Other than that, it's just good luck.

It’s best to breed for a colour you love or some other requirements you want to strive to meet.

Brindle is like the cherry on top of a milkshake. A nice surprise to have but most of the time you don’t get served it.

There are people who attempt to breed for brindle but they breed hundreds of brindles together to get a few brindles.

By the numbers: of the 1,746 pages (43,546 lined horses) aged 2 years old, a grand total of 4 pages (82 horses) were brindle last season. So 1:531 odds of breeding a brindle

Thanks for that mathematical information, Bandit1119! I'm a words, not a numbers, person, so it's great to have someone manipulating numerical information and sharing the results.

I studied Latin for 8 years and write poetry. I got through both high school and college with the absolute minimum number of math classes. :D

When I was substitute teaching, I could usually muddle enough understanding to help Algebra 2 students by studying the text book lesson, though it was was nothing like the algebra texts I had back in the early 60's. Trig and Calculus students were on their own.

The numbers explanation is perfect! I’m a nerd and married to an accountant haha. Wow okay so it’s not even a thing you can strategically breed for. That’s unfortunate but at least now I know! Thank you so much :)

I had these fantasticle dreams of an ice Brindle lol perhaps GMT would be the best route to take?

Would love to hear opinions and suggestions, what do y’all go for?

Lol I just used the search page and looked at the number of the last horse on the last page of total 2 year olds and brindle 2 year olds and divided the bigger one by the smaller one with my calculator.

I super suck at math although I can usually figure out the sizes of the pieces to make a quilt block from a pic of the block if I work at it a while. But that is the extent of my math skills. The last shift I worked we somehow ended up with 26 tables set up when we needed 18....

As for ice brindles. It is possible but you do have to add the ice to a foundation horse that has it like I did last December when I got my ice 1 stud

JS IC Fire InThe Sky

He has had 3 brindle foals in 393 foals including this ice brindle mare

JLa IC 1970051

Very resourceful still!

Those are both stunning. Looks like I’ll have to start planning a GMT project.

I have 4 Brindle Breakout RS for sale http://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/65974/4-brindle-breakouts-for-sale#Item_1

3 mares and 1 stallion, all unbred.

You also have to take into consideration that many goals were removed from the game, so its quite possible that the ACTUAL ratio is much higher, possibly 1:1000 or even more.

I have a brindle breakout stud for sale! Also have a mare if anyone is interested. They don’t fit into what I’m going for anymore.
