Roblox: Horse Life breeding guide

Horse Life includes a wealth of options to expand your stable, one of which is breeding. This mechanic enables you to increase the number of horses in your establishment. What makes it preferable over finding equine in the wild is that you have a degree of control over the foal’s species. Moreover, you can influence which type of foal will be born and the characteristics that govern its value.

The following is a complete guide to breeding in Horse Life that will give you a clear picture of how to manage this mechanic.

How breeding works in Horse Life

Breeding is quite simple as a concept, where pairing a horse and a mare results in a foal. Where it starts to become complex is when you delve into the different characteristics of the male and female equine. Both equines have a chance to pass down their qualities to the foal, such as coat color, physical mutations, markings, and more.

You can breed equines of different species to create a hybrid, the features of which will be an amalgamation of its parents. Similarly, you can create a Purebred foal by breeding two horses of the same species. Purebreds receive higher stats and may have the ability to gain more XP than other horses.

Once you breed two equines, you must wait some time before breeding again.

Foal Prediction

Before you breed two equines, you can use the Predict feature to see an estimation of the progeny’s qualities. While not 100% accurate, they are a reliable way to find out which of your horses are a perfect match for breeding.

The Predict feature can not only allow you to gauge the foal’s species but its perceived value as well. It can help you understand the progeny’s color, species, traits, gender, and size, giving you a handle on what to expect. If you’re looking for a particular type of equine through breeding, this feature can be invaluable, saving both time and effort in the process.

The two stages of breeding equine

In Horse Life, breeding is a two-step process: the initiation and the gestation. The initial process is fairly short, involving the use of the Breeding screen to mate a chosen horse and mare. This causes the latter to enter the gestation phase, which is the longest of the two steps.

Gestation can last for several hours, indicated by a floating heart icon above the mare. In this phase, you can accelerate gestation by feeding the mare certain items. As the gestation period comes to a close, you will be able to claim the foal and add it to your stable.

Each species of horse has a different gestation time, which is listed below:

• Bisorse: 7 hours
• Caprine: 6 hours and 48 minutes
• Equus: 5 hours and 6 minutes
• Gargoyle: 12 hours
• Horse: 4 hours and 15 minutes
• Kelpie: 12 hours and 7 minutes
• Pony: 3 hours and 24 minutes
• Unicorn: 10 hours
