Dr Zig's Blupping Guides:

Dr Zig has kindly agreed to share her blupping guides with the community in this topic.

These guides are based on your horse's genetics and which classical or western competition it will do best in.

Due to the amount of breeds in the game, only a few will be listed as examples. Any current and future breeds can use these guides.

To find which guide is best for your horse, look at its genetics. The event that best suits your horse will be the one that uses its best three genetic skills. For crossbred horses, you’ll need to look at its three best genetic skills to work out what might suit it best.
