Breeding "Outside" Stallions to Pasture Mares
  • Hey all,

    So we can't use straws on our pasture mares or live breeding, and I presume you can't create a fertilised embryo and implant it into the same mare (although this is not an option for me as I'm not premium).

    I think that leaves the last option of temporarily buying or "loaning" other players stallions to pasture breed to?

    Is this something that is done in game? Would people be willing to do it?

    Any thoughts / opinions would be welcome.

  • I haven't done it, but I do believe you probably could pull an egg from "Mare A", create an embryo with an outside stallion straw, then implant that embryo back into Mare A and take advantage of Mare A's pasture bonus.

    I seem to remember that sometime in the past year someone else pitched the same idea about looking for an outside stallion as a loaner for their pastures, but I don't feel like the idea gained much traction.

    There would be no way to enforce that the stallion goes back to the proper player after the loan, so if you got into a bad deal you would be out of luck. I don't know if many players would be excited about loaning out some of their best stock and taking a chance it wouldn't come back. Even with the best of intentions things get forgotten or accidents happen.

    I am not aware of anyone currently loaning out their horses for any purpose.

  • Hi Wensum!

    I’ve run into the same problem and something that helped was posting what I’m looking for stud wise and what I breed so anyone who has similar goals can look and see if they want to swap or exchange any horses. I currently am in a swap with another player and it really helped me with my pastures so I could pull outside blood in with that pasture bonus. I have done a lot of stud swaps on other platforms and as long as you trust the other player and communicate expectations my experience has been that it actually really helps smaller to medium stables get an edge in breeding wise without all the same resources like upgrades or AI breeding.

    What are you looking for swap wise? Feel free to PM me if you see any of my boys you could use :)

  • I've loaned a stud and borrowed a stud. Again only do it with a player you'd absolutely trust and have that open communication. But it isn't really a thing in game.
