Worked pairings show how to approach the 50/50, 75/75 and 100/100 goals.TrainingTraining current strength and endurance does not improve inherited potential. The mare’s Confidence at cover affects the foal’s starting Confidence.Foal SimulatorOpen the Lab at Breeding Station stage 2. Select the exact mare and sire, then compare both potential ranges and relatedness before breeding.BreedingBreed through the town breeder or your own Breeding Station, choose parents for your goal, and confirm pregnancy in the Medical Report.PregnancyConfirm pregnancy in Medical, count eight in-game days to birth, and adjust riding, feeding and exercise during late pregnancy and nursing.Foal GrowthFoals become yearlings four days after birth and adults at age 12. Reserve yearling space, then an adult stall to avoid paid town boarding.
