The Canadian Horse Association

Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

Hello
I'm breeding these Canadian horses but now they are getting quite in-breed. Do you have any fresh bloodlines that I could introduce to my heard? I have some quarter horses that are 5* but i have so many horses i dont even have a purebred stud so none of my horses are actually full blooded :roll: it's really annoying me.
