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!

Does anyone have a 350 GP(first generation) female Appaloosa? I have a first Gen male I would like to breed. I bred him in 2012 I believe and I just bought him back a few days ago so I’m pretty excited to BLUP and breed him if there’s anyone will to sell me the foal after breeding?

Are there any active NIB Friesian breeders around? If so, I'd love to chat! And maybe ask some questions. I'm only breeding them casually, but it's a fun project and I'm having a good time with it so far! default smiley :d

Occasionally I can get lucky and find comps full of fillers. They don't always win. If you message Twinjodi

My search for OG Highland Ponies continues while my Curlies are starting to sit there once more. I am going to get back to them at some point this week (once this week settles down)

Yes they do.
But be careful if you use them, as you can only use an offspring from the same breeding pair once. If their in the line more than once you have inbreeding.

Running out of rolling gain Welshies again.
Managed to find a filly in sales after weeks of searching. Now the hunt for a mate begins, or maybe my Ran will give me a Welshie mate... eventually.

Bred another 2nd gen. The GP will be low compared to her wannabe mate. But at least I will be able to take them to 3 generations default smiley :)


I hope we get a new breed soon. And when we do that EVERYONE wants to sell them, so we can hoard a lot for NIB projects default smiley (a)

I've been playing so many years, on and off, starting brand new a few years ago, and back at it again. This time though, I'm interested in NIB and started with Barbs...I've managed to find 2 in the sales, but it's so hard going through the lines to find ones that are NIB.
So, I'm submitting my 4 Barbs that I have so far, and hope to find another Barb owner to breed with, sell to, or buy from.

I also have a Morgan, Camargue, QH, and PH that are Ouranos and Gaia foals/horses.

So, my NIB GP entry #1:

Hi, all!

I've been away from Howrse for a while and was very pleased to see one of the prizes in the new evolution event - Athena's Medal. One of my bolded foundies that's been sitting and collecting dust due to missing his wins, is as of today finally completely blupped! default smiley :)

Has this item been available during previous events? I guess it's not something you can just buy on the black market?

Welcome back!

Athena's Medal was, in my opinion, a cash grab. Their answer to lower GP horses no longer being able to win because of the skill widening in rookie comps = buy an item with premium currency. It pops up in the black market occasionally (can't remember the cost) but it has always rubbed me up the wrong way entirely because they ignored NIBers' concerns about comps and went literal pay to win. If they were always behind events, I wouldn't be so sore, but they aren't. The tactic genuinely seemed to be "make people who struggle to get wins pay real money for items to move past this barrier we created" and I just cannot forgive them for that!
