Hey! Thanks for looking!

I have a question, what is overbreeding for a VHR stallion? I just got one that has 26 breedings on him. Should I take him off of public stud due to overbreeding? I don't want to be looked down on for breeding just for quantity.

Thanks!

I don't think breeding a stallion alot is wrong if the stallion has good stats. Some top racing stallions have hundreds of foals.

I think its not so great in rl, because after a while I'm sure it has some sort of effect on the stallion, but on vhr I dont think it matters, its all fake lol :D

My answer is simple.

Is the stallion either stat-maxed or a conformation-quality horse?

If the answer is no: One breeding might be "overbred" unless you have specific goals in breeding to him (Breeding for a colour to improve it, trying to get conformation horses, etc)

If the answer is yes: There's no such thing as 'overbreeding'. Even if it's a foundation horse with pants stats, if you've stat maxed it or you're going for conformation, it's not so bad.

I recently took a miniature down from stud, foundation stat-maxed boy, who's had thirty-some-odd foals; I'll put him back up for stud once I've had a chance to roll him a bit.

Sorry I've not been around - having 100+ animals in REAL life does that to you.

Okay, thanks guys! Anyone who has an opinion on this subject, please post! :P

kesquivalerian - He is statmaxed. Almost all of the breedings to him have been to fairly decent mares, and he has produced no hybrids.
