Guide:Breeding Horses



To Breed Horses, a farmer must have a completed Horse Stable and it must contain 1 Stallion, and at least one of either a Horse, a Pony, or a Mini Horse.

Available Breeds of Horses and Ponies
The current Horse breeds are the Brown, Gray, Pinto, Black, Red, E-QUESTR10N, Wild Mustang, Appaloosa, Haflinger, Buckskin, Palouse, Camargue, and Morgan. The current Draft breeds are the Clydsdale, Breton, Cream Draft, and Percheron. The current Pony breeds are the Brown Pony, Purple Mane Pony, Pink-Hair Pony, Light Blue Pony, Black Pony, Silver Pony, and Reit Pony. The current Stallion breeds are the Wandering Stallion, White Stallion, Black Stallion, and Miniature Stallion. The current Miniature Horse breeds are the Regular Mini, Cream Mini, and Appaloosa Mini.

Effect of Stallion
Having more examples of a particular breed of horse in your stable will increase the chances of finding a foal associated with that breed. If there is a White or Black Stallion in the stable, there is a chance of finding a foal whose coat is the same color as the stallion who sired it. A Wandering Stallion won't influence the color of his foal, so the foal is always the same breed as its dam.

Special Notes On Miniature Horses
The Miniature Horses are a little more complicated to breed. A Miniature Mare will only produce a Miniature Foal if the sire is a Miniature Stallion. If the sire is full sized, the Miniature Mare will produce a full sized foal that is either brown or the color of its sire. The same goes for the Miniature Stallion. If he is bred to a full sized mare, the mare will produce a full sized foal that is the same breed as it's dam. I don't agree I have a white normal stallion and tons of Miniature creams and when those two bread I get Miniatures 99% of the time.

Harvesting and Adopting
When collecting from the Horse Stable, the farmer will be alerted if a foal was born. The farmer cannot keep the foals that are found, but they become available for up to 5 farmer's neighbors to adopt. If a farmer places one of those foals into the Nursery Barn it will grow up into an adult horse but not necessarily of the same breed. Farmers who raise foals to adulthood may keep the adult horses. They can also celebrate their success by sharing another foal with their neighbors.

Multiple Breedings
If you have an empty stable, and you place an animal in it, the stable automatically takes on the ready status of the animal. In the case of horses, which take three days before becoming ready to harvest outside, anything over 34% will render the stable 100% ready for harvesting. If this animal (and any that you have placed in the stable) is then removed after being harvested, the stable will revert to a non-harvestable state until another animal is placed in the stable, where it again takes on the ready state of the animal. If a large number of ready Horses (either Stallions or Mares) are available then this can be repeated multiple times.

This is not a bug, a cheat or an exploit otherwise Zynga would have closed it off a long time ago, as they have done with all known bugs, cheats and exploits. All of which were nullified within short order by changes in the game, nor is it mentioned in the TOS.
