What the breeding boost does is increase a horse's breeding ability, in this case by 5%.

For Foundations, if you give a 5% breeding boost to a Perfect Foundation, his paper level will be increased to B, the equivalent of a 2nd gen stallion. What the exact numbers would be for longer generation horses, only Ammit knows, and she isn't telling. *G*

His boost will give him the potential of siring foals with higher PT scores and perhaps better breeding ability than he. He will probably have an Average Foal PT score that is higher than his sire's, which currently is 11.6. How much better than his sire's it will be is determined by the breeding ability of the mares he is crossed with.

Once you reach *Star and *Gold papers, the only ways to keep track of whether the next generation is an improvement on the last is by using Average Foal PT scores and the comparison test, which is now only available for Stallions. Ammit has reprogrammed the testing as part of the ongoing update to the game to make it compatible for smart phone and other small screen players. Part of that includes having comparison testing available for mares. I don't know the timing, but as soon as it is complete, HaJ2 will get the upgrade too.

I don't think a breeding boost has anything to do with what gender foals the horse has.

Ok thanks everyone.Fox what if you have the breeding boost on the stallion you breed to a mare that has the breeding boost? Will they produce more Colts or fillys?

I think that might be true. I haven't noticed a massive difference in my boosted stallions progeny, to be honest. Many of his Colts pass testing, but I snip them for not papering as well as I'd like.

Ah my bad. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

The same as breeding two non boosted foundations together

You increase their breeding quality, so they throw better quality foals. But if you cross a boosted foundation stallion with a normal create mare then often the colts foals won't be as good as their sire, and the fillies have a better chance at being better than their dam.

Boosting on it's own doesn't have anything to do with more/less spays and gelds

So do you think it would be better if I boosted my top quality mare before I breed her to the stallion above for the best results?

I dont remember anything about comp testing mare. Iam on hj1 and there is no mare comp testing to my knowledge, You can now paper mares at birth like you can with stallions , Will be good when that rolls out here. Ammit is doing some update over the next few days so maybe coming here then .
