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 Stock Horse, a Draft Horse, a Pony, or a Mini Horse.

Available Breeds of Stock Horses, Ponies, Miniature Horses, and Drafts
There are more than just a few kinds of horses in Farmville. Most of these horses are Limited Edition and can only be obtained for a limited time for Farm Cash, but there are some that may be obtained year round from the market and through the aid of your friends. (Note: Limited Edition animals will bear this mark "*" in the following list.)

The current Horse breeds are the Brown, Gray, Pinto, Black, Red*, E-QUESTR10N* (or Alien Horse), Wild Mustang*, Appaloosa*, Haflinger*, Buckskin*, Palouse*, Camargue*, Forest*, Morgan*, and Autumn Horse*.

The current Draft breeds are the Clydesdale, 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, Reitpony*, and Candy Corn Pony*.

The current Stallion breeds are the Wandering Stallion, White Stallion*, Black Stallion*, and Miniature Stallion*.

The current Miniature Horse breeds are the Normal Mini*, Cream Mini, and Mini Appaloosa*.

The Effect of a 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 Stallion 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.

A Special Note 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. When a Miniature Stallion is bred to a full sized mare, the mare will produce a full sized foal that is the same breed as its dam.

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.
