Well, you need to look at the individual stats as they compare in the appraise trial.
This is on a BC trained QH
# Breed Standards : too Intellegent (+ 22.3 ) Too smart by 22 points
# Breed Standards : Showing More Strength than of breed (+ 36.06 ) Too strong
# Breed Standards : Showing More Stamina than of breed (+ 23.49 ) Too enduring
# Breed Standards : Showing More Speed than of breed (+ 35.29 ) Too fast
# Breed Standards : Not Showing Personality of breed (+ 8.7 )
# Breed Standards : Showing smaller Build of breed (+ 2.6452 )
So to breed this horse for confy, I'd look for a horse that is not as intelligent, strong, enduring or speedy the same differences in the numbers, only the other way for the best chance. So a horse that scores: not as Intellegent (+ 22.3 ) Has a better chance to give me close to perfect in intel. If I were to breed to a score too Intellegent (+10 ), intel would get closer, but not by much. Not training is the best way to drop stats quickly.
# Breed Standards : not as Intellegent (+ 0.2774 )
# Breed Standards : Showing More Strength than of breed (+ 1.038 )
# Breed Standards : not Showing Stamina of breed (+ 0.6056 )
# Breed Standards : not Showing Speed of breed (+ 0.075899999999997 )
# Breed Standards : Not Showing Personalityof breed (+ 0.5622 )
# Breed Standards : Showing smaller Build of breed (+ 0.095200000000006 )
This horse is close to ideal (27.6543) So to find a mate for it, I want to find a horse that is just as similar, only the other way... too intelligent, not as strong, more stamina, more speed, etc.
Finding the personality of a breed can be tricky. You have to watch the personality through the generations. As long as that number goes down (From say +23 to +10) you are getting closer on personality. If the number starts going up (From +23 to +30) you are getting away from the ideal personality.
Hope that helps
