It's about time the NIB breeders had their own corner of the world default smiley ;)

Curious about NIB horses? Want to know what a NIB horse is? You've come to the right place!

What is this topic for? NIB enthusiasts to find each other and help one another progress in their respective games.
Otherwise, you may use this topic to help others learn about NIBs, share your experience, and find friends that breed NIBs default smiley :)

Please do not use this topic for advertising horses for sale.

The NIB FAQ:

What is a NIB horse?
A NIB horse is a horse that is not inbred; every horse in its pedigree appears only once (with the exception of Ouranos and Gaia). Horses with "Horse Disappeared" in their pedigree are generally not accepted by NIB breeders unless the horses in question were bought before the horses disappeared and have verifiable pedigrees.

Are there green star NIB horses?
These horses have lower GP than green stars and other top horses, as not inbreeding limits the breeding availability and is slower to progress than breeding brothers to sisters and so forth.
**Misabel edit: The first Green star NIB horse was created on February 21, 2011 - a 6th generation Connemara pony with a star in stamina. He was the end result of a lot of hard work and effort, but now that some dedicated breeders have shown it can be done, we all have something to shoot for!

Are NIB horses considered better than green stars or inbred horses?
Goodness, no! Nobody here is attempting to make that claim. Just like the Zero GP horses, these players choose to play the game in their own challenging way.

How can I get involved with NIB breeding?
It's simple! Start by purchasing a few foundation horses, or horses whose pedigrees can be tracked down and verified as non-inbred. Then carefully breed them to create foals with good GP's and skills that are not inbred!

I might as well as the Arabians.
Would love to get the current pastry divine and be able to get a steady flow of RG’s.
But the memort game is usualle expensive to finish. So I’ll probably have to settle for sales.

Wasn’t there some pastry divine in a future release that is supposed to give Shagya?
Or maybe I’m mistaken

Not on this server for me. Lol, but I'll keep it anyways for NIB covers and side projects. My US account has a different objective.

I'm curious - what do NIB breeders think of the Pastry divines and their offspring? Are they valid foundies for NIB lines, or do the Pastry parents count as a reappearing horse in the family tree?

The foals are usable, and would still count as purebreds - just be sure you don't use the same pair of Divines more than once.

So if you have a pair of your own, you'd have to be careful not to use more than one of their foals in the same pedigree - but you can scoop up foals bred from other players' Pastries, and use them. It would just mean keeping track of the Pasty parents' ID numbers.

I'm going to invent my own version of almost NIB's with the Pastry critters I have. That way I'll at least be able to use them for something. And I'll then just mix and match with other Barbs etc that I can pick up from sales.

I guess in my NIBbing, Pastry foals can be huge as they can really put a jump on GP to get your GP up there for first generation pairings at least. But the other thing is actually GETTING one when you don't have the Divines to produce them, let alone two different ones lol

I don't know if it's where you saw it, but on preprod there was some discussion of what a 3rd breed could be for the current pastries, since all the other pastries give 3 breeds.
Shagya's were suggested, but they actually come from the Austro-Hungarian empire, same as Lippizaners. They are descended from Arabians, and still out-crossed to them, but are bred to be taller, more solid and have calmer temperaments.


Re Pastry foals, seems to me it could be a matter of choice how you see them, same as some people use only 350 GP foundies, and some use recent ones. Counting pastry foals as foundies would make NIB easier, so maybe some prefer to keep the challenge up?

Never got into NIB myself, but I do keep pastries myself, so how the foals are classified is of interest to me. Personally I do think the foals are foundies: they come from a divine and don't have a genetic relationship to the pastry parents. They follow foundie gp (though of course they have the high skills on top). I think someone compared them to Quillin foals: but surely they are different as they do have a genetic relationship to their mother? (Same breed)

By the way, are foals from Ran, Hipparion and Kaktos seen as foundies?

I believe they are, but I don't know what it shows as parentage. Do they have the divine listed as a parent or Gaia/Ouranus?

Their 'parents' are Ouranos & Gaia. The only Divines who actually appear as parents on non-Divine foals (that I can think of, anyway) are the Pastries and Qilin.

2 horses/1 pair is one generation

4 horses/2 pair is two generations

8 horses/4 pair is three generations

16 horses/8 pair is four generations

32 horses/16 pair is five generations

64 horses/32 pairs is six generations

128 horses/64 pair is seven generations

256 horses/128 pair is eight generations

512 horses/256 pair is nine generations [And if you have more than this, congratulations!!! WOW!]

The chart for a reminder of what we aspire to get to. For anyone that may in the future need first generation babies, I have decided to probably try and get six generations (64 horses) for each new event RG Foundation. So this started at the Trotters, and I now have Holsteiners, Camargue (still collecting), and Barbs (still collecting)

This is way, way way way in the future as we all well know, but I do have enough now for eight generations of both Holsteiners and Trotters! default smiley :d default smiley :d With extra pairings as well amazingly.

dont know if thats how you do it, im new to NIB horsesdefault smiley :s
By Twinjodi, 18th August 2019 22:50:30
Kiko are you saying you want to start NIBbing Mustangs? The easiest thing to do is to look in the sales for under 5000 GP, if you're looking for Rolling Gain foundations (a higher gp) or under 352 GP for original foundations. Most NIBBers won't be likely to give up their stock so it's easier to just look for them.

By Twinjodi, 27th August 2019 00:08:25
Vivian Horsegirl, it would be the same set of instructions for you as well. Easiest way is to look in the sales except you would be selecting unicorn as your search instead of just horse. The foal has to be foundation (no one before them besides Ouranus/Gaia or divine pairing) or be able to be traced back to having no repeat of parent/s.

When you say original foundations you mean a horse who's parents are Ouranos and Gaia correct?
