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

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!

Thanks for the clarification @lbenedict15!!! And yup, I'm a returning player new to NIB so I figured it'd be perfect to hop in with my Standie starter horses and now I know to use just one of the twins. Managed to grab a few Gaia foals before my 30 day thing was up so giving the RG line a go!

Cool to see the dedication for the OG lines! Going to try my best on this default smiley :)

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood! The two starters are considered both foundations, so they are fine to even breed together.

It would just be an issue if they were bred back into the line down the road. Like, breeding a 10th generation back to one of the 1st gens in the line.

@Asfridur

Still plugging along! Things have slowed down these last few weeks, as I just started a mowing business with my husband and weather has thrown us curveballs since the beginning of the growing season. Makes for significantly less NIB time. I just reorganized my Divines, I hope to get more NIB time.

Looking to start up a casual TB NIB side project but stupidly gelded my starter colt back when I first started.

Looking to build up some stock or work together (with my very limited collection, i.e. my starter mare default smiley xd ) - drop me a message!

NIB progress seems to be on hold for me, I feel I've made minimal progress lately. Yay, because it means the mowing business is taking off, but boo...my poor pretty pixels!!

Hope everyone is having success with their projects, no matter how small that success is default smiley (l)

Just a reminder, I've got most of Yankee Lady's original foundation stallions.

They are available for covers.

You can find them under the Foundation Breeds tab, then scroll down to

TESF Stallions Original Foundations. These stallions are the original

foundation horses.

If you don't find what you need there, let me know. I have other breeds available

in other farms.
