Designing your Foal Correctly -- Color Guide
Crossbreeds are not possible or allowed between EB's and any other breed.
Eb's cannot breed unless registered in the group.Breedpics are required unless breeder states otherwise.
Equus Ballator Type Crossbreeding Rules
-- Reguarding the breeding between Plains, Forest, Desert, and Mountain EB's
You cannot roll your own geno's.
You Must note the group and then Pick one from there
You may suggest your more desired traits and we will take those into account.
You must supply this information:
Link to Sire Link to Dam
Sire's Genotype x Dam Genotype
Sire's Type Dam type
You must supply this information:
Link to Sire Link to Dam
Sire's Genotype x Dam Genotype
Sire's Type Dam type
Horn colors MUST be a mix of the parents.
Super Rare horn colors are hard to breed for. You Must have two pure white horned parents to get a pure white horned foal.
--Same goes for pure black.
5% White(very light grey) & 95% Black(Very Dark Grey) are close but are not PURE of one color.
If Parents have Stats - some Stats are carried to the foal
the parents stats are halved, and then added together.
---More on stats Click Here
Arranging a breeding:
You can only have up to THREE breedings per week.
When you submit a note for a breeding, you must WAIT UNTIL IT IS REPLIED TO to submit another one.
When noting the group about a breeding and asking for the genos, please keep it simple:
Sire:
Sire's Phenotype: Smarmy marmy bay with polka dots
Sire's Genotype: Un/ic/or/n
Sire's Type: (Mountain, forest, etc)
--X--
Dam:
Dam's Phenotype: Smarmy marmy bay with polka dots
Dam's Genotype: Un/ic/or/n
Dam's Typ: (Plains, Desert, etc)
Dam's Phenotype: Smarmy marmy bay with polka dots
Dam's Genotype: Un/ic/or/n
Dam's Typ: (Plains, Desert, etc)
You will be given a Max of four Geno's.
MULTIPLE FOALS: If you intend to breed the same pair of horses multiple times, That is between you and the breeder. I give you the most probable genos that I roll; what you do with them or how many foals you make is up to whoever is designing the foals. And to get the most accurate results, I not only use the geno calculator but Punnet Squares and another random generator as well. THIS IS TIME CONSUMING.
If you are submitting multiple breedings in one note, please NUMBER them!
It should look like this:
1. #E-009 Solus Luctus Atrox fav.me/d6h70i0
Phenotype: Smoky black tobiano
Genotype: EE/aa/nCr/TT
X
#F-100 Asmodeus fav.me/d6mrfh3

Breed Revival
Enharmonia here, in behalf of the whole admin team! It's been almost a year since we last showed any activity. And many members, as well as admins had given up hope already. But finally it's time to announce that EBs are coming back. We're sorry that we let you wait all this time, but we promise to make it better this time.
All systems are being revamped to be easier for staff and members. We are adding tons of cool updates, such as mane mutations, a Quest system and more. You'll be of course able to register your old horses with you, how will be announced in the new group upon opening. You'll even be able to tweak your horse a bit if there i
Group gone dormant until further notice.
Hello EB people,
from now on, the group will remain dormant. No new foal designs, references, breedings or ownership transfers can be submitted. However, EB art can still be created and will be accepted on a daily basis. Also you can still submit to the 'Deceased' folder, if you wish to kill your horse.
Thank you for sticking with the breed for all this time, we hope to see you back as soon as the group reopens.
