I think I'm ready to make my first chimera in the lab!
  • So i splurged a bit and now I have a riding horse stallion with hom tobiano and hom shatterglass, and a second one with hom tobiano and hom jewelbox.

    I'm tempted to merge them. They both passed breeding advice, so does this mean they're guaranteed to pass as a chimera?

    I'm also debating not merging them because then they can breed more mares in a season... but then of course, I'm not planning to have enough hom tobi riding horse mares to need 3 separate hom tobi stallions (I made the hom tobi with belton spots a riding horse stallion too).

    Decisions, decisions...

    Aside from the height and bone weight, is anything else influenced by making one the primary and one the secondary horse when merging? Should i performance test and paper them before, or wait until after?
  • Whatever your base horse (the one whose page you access in the GMT lab and then scroll down to pick a horse to merge with) stats are, is what the stats will be for the final chimera. Bone Weight, Height, Papers, PT, current points. The only thing that changes is you now have a second strand of color dna that belonged to the other horse that has been merged in to your base horse ( which means their picture will change too but none of their actual base stats will)
    Dabbler in EVERYTHING.
  • Only test the horse you will be keeping. The one you merge into it will disappear from the game. No point spending money testing a horse you aren't keeping, and whose stats won't affect your final result in any case.
    Keep the horse with the stats you find more preferable. For example, I start with only B/Red foundations. So when a C/Yellow herd helper comes up that I like (Cherry Drop), I might merge it into an Exceptionally Perfect horse. By doing this, I keep the homozygous DP from the Cherry Drop but also keep the 10.4 PT and 105% breeding ability of the Exceptionally Perfect, and now I have two strands to add cool genes to.
