Miniatures

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.

No.
They're a rare breed. They're hard to breed from scratch or from recipe parents and there simply aren't a lot of interested breeders. Or maybe I should correct that to say 'aren't a lot of interested active]/i] breeders.'

Miniatures are a pain to breed. And that's from experience. Not the hardest, arguably, but definitely one of the more expert recipe breeds to tackle.

Just take it a step at a time. If you get stuck somewhere, ask the community (you've already figured that out :) ) and there should be somebody around here that can explain it in just the way that YOU need.

The great thing about this game, is that you don't need to understand the 'technical stuff', to get somewhere. It certainly can make it a little easier, if you're technically minded... and it also helps those of us that have OCD tendencies [and those that actually have OCD], so... this game pretty much covers everybody's ability and level of play.

Go at your own rate and if you happen to get stuck somewhere, you can't wrap your head around what's happening, then we'll try to find an explanation that fits you. If it doesn't exist, ... in that case... we'll write a new one up. :P

Hi! I'm a miniature breeder, actually! (I also breed Arabians, Quarabs, Arappaloosas, and occasionally Welsh Ponies, but Miniatures are my main focus on this account 8-) ) Anyways, I just started breeding miniatures not too long ago, and I finally bred my first 100% Miniature about a month ago :D I thought you might like to browse my farm and see my horses, but more specifically, see my miniatures in this pasture. I have 2 for stud currently, and I might be willing to sell. Just link a horse you might be interested in and I'll let you know if I want to sell it. Also, feel free to ask me any questions you might have about miniatures - both in the game and in real life! (I own 2 adorable miniature mares in real life, and I've learned a lot about them in the 2 years I've had them!)
