1) no colors have no value just peoples opinions
2) you have until the 28th of each month to breed your horses after the 28th your no longer able to breed

I'm pretty sure that they can be trained.

The very rarest colors and patterns, those that are limited edition genes, meaning that the genes, mostly, were originally sold for real-life cash and do not show up randomly using the create a horse feature, generally are given higher prices by those who own horses that carry them. Examples are: Sooty+, Sabino 2 and 3, White 3 and 4, Satin, Gulastra Plume (GP), and Kit Promoter (KP).

Rank Special horses and their offspring will often command higher prices as well. Rank Special daily herd helpers were created by Ammit for special occasions and carry some very interesting gene combinations. They do, rarely, show up as daily herd helpers, but are the least common.

Dense Pheomelanin (DP), which produces liver chestnuts when combined with homozygous sooty, and the rarer alleles of Agouti (bay), At which produces brown when paired with the recessive allele a and A+ which produces Wild Bays when paired with any other agouti allele, are also quite rare and very new in the game, making them also usually higher priced.

Concentrating on breeding horses for sale, however, is not the best means of making money in the game. Increasing the size of your own herd and showing your horses regularly is a more useful strategy in the long run. Many players examine the pedigrees of horses up for sale quite closely to make sure they meet their personal standards for higher generations and can be very fussy about what they choose to buy.

The most valuable horses in the game are the proven successful show horses and proven successful breeders, regardless of color or pattern. They are valuable to their owners, whether or not they are ever sold.

The most "valuable" horse in my stables at this moment, in one way. He has collected 1079 points to date, which adds 534 hbs to my showing bonus every week and will be increasing that total almost every time he shows.

Another very valuable horse, in another way. He doesn't have as many points as the first one, but he's older and so has a larger total lifetme show cash earnings (not showing bonus).

You will notice that neither of them is particularly spectacular in appearance.

Thanks, Baya. If I'd been speaking instead of typing, I'd explain that I got my tongue over my eyetooth and couldn't see what I was saying. As it is, I'll blame it on the lack of pigment in my hair that lets the thoughts slip away.

:D

All fixed now.

Thanks yall! One more question and I promise I will just shut up and play for a few weeks! Can baby foals not be trained? I bred my one eligible mare and the foal has done her shows for the month but doesn't show up on my training menu!

I have tried it both ways, showing and not showing my foals. It is just because I have so many foals though. Some just don't get moved into the barns I want them in, so that they auto show. If there is a difference in my showing bonus, it isn't big enough that I notice.

Yeah, shutting up was never going to happen... I've been using some shared herd helpers to build up a selection of horses, with a primary goal of just getting some cool looking horses that will hopefully show well to subsidize further expansions. I recently got a cute little mare who passed her free mare test and her showing aptitude test. I then trained her and looked at her page and it says she has already leveled off at 1L level... So throwing caution to the wind I performance tested her and she came back a 3.4.

If this was your mare, would you throw her in the pasture and just let her breed? Or, if she didn't particularly meet any breeding goals, would you put her up to auction? I will post her link below if that helps.

When I first started playing H&J 1, I had a mare with a PT of 0.2, I think. She was one of my best brood mares, and papered Red.

I have an Exceptional Producer DHH in that game today, and one of the mares PT tested at 0.4. Her breeding ability is 104% because she's an exceptional producer, well worth keeping.

(This game doesn't have exceptional producers.)
