Just sounds like luck and % have not been on your side!

Try flipping a quarter. Although you have a 50% chance it will be heads, it doesn't land on heads 50% of the time. That's how a het gene breeds. It's a 50% chance, but it won't be shared 50% of the time.

I'm pretty sure the goddess Arengee demands our 3rd and 4th best stock, and a crystal ball that glows when it's just the right time to get a bumper crop of foals. I might be wrong though.

Sometimes, horses just don’t throw a certain gene as well as some others. I have a het Nexus stallion who only adds Nx to a foal like 1 time in 15, and another het Nexus stallion who throws Nx babies about 1 in every 3 times.

And, like @ChrystalBlues said, odds aren’t quite as simple as “they’ll throw hom snowflake every other time”
