Breeding Bone
-
Hey All -
Does bone weight breed like anything else? (I assume it does, but then I assumed that about brindle, so...)
If so, is there an advantage to breeding for bone in drafts? Does it add or subtract from their show potential? -
Bone weight has no effect on show potential at all, so far as I know. And yes, the bone weights of the parents affect the bone weight of the foal. However, like everything else (almost) in this game, there is a range of possibilities with each breeding. It's not a simple addition or average.De gustibus non disputandum.

I finally remembered Ammit saying that it is possible to breed bone weight up from light horse to draft, so it's probably possible to breed up to the limit for draft horses. I did a search for draft horses and and gradually raised the cut off point. Here is the horse with the heaviest bone weight in the game at 3.71.
