Highstorm is exactly right! There is a huge random component to breeding. The foal is compared to both parents in BA and SBA. In foundations you will get more horses that pass because the parents are similar in ability. But it will still be less than 50% that pass. In my 4G pasture for example I breed probably 200 horses, and only get maybe 5 foals that pass SBA a year, just because Im bad at keeping the parents a similar quality. So one might be the same quality as one parent, but significantly lower than the other parent
