[Info] NIB Horses
By Retired breeder, 17th November 2009 23:20:05
It's about time the NIB breeders had their own corner of the world  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  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! - Current Top GPs for NIB Horses: (bred with the *original foundies* who had 350-351.2 GP) Akhal-Teke: 433.29 (2*) Appaloosa: 592.04 (10*) 6th Gen Arabians : 847.17 (31*) 3rd Gen Argentinean Criollo: 534.37 (7*) 1st Gen Barbs: 392.93 (1*) Brumbies: 441.30 (2*) Canadian: 710.75 (18*) 2nd gen Curly : 897.50 (33*) 3rd Gen Donkeys: 300.42 Friesian : 507.78 (6*) 2nd Gen Gypsy Vanner: 565.03 (9*) Hackneys: 608.80 (11*) 2nd Gen Hanoverians: 618.73 (12*) Holsteiner: 584.14 (11*) 1st gen Icelandic Horse: 431.19 (1*) Irish Hunters: 452.22 (2*) Knabstrupper: 564.89 (8*) 1st gen KWPN: 414.32 (1*) Lipizzans: 451.15 (2*) Lusitanos: 558.72 (10*) Marwari: 551.66 (8*) 1st gen Morgans: 411.95 (1*) Mustangs: 419.50 (1*) Nokota : 427.57 (2*) Paints: 461.44 (2*) Peruvian Paso: 441.91 (2*) Purebred Spanish Horse : 509.03 (6*) 1st gen Quarter Horse: 450.30 (2*) Russian Don: 636.94 (13*) Shagya Arabian : 767.55 (25*) 5th gen Standardbreds: 469.76 (3*) Tennessee Walkers: 378.92 (1*) Thoroughbred: 1086.54 (52*) 7th Gen Trakhener: 432.77 (1*) Australian Pony: 581.44 (9*) 1st gen Chincoteague Pony : 575.97 (8*) 1st gen Connemaras: 440.00 (2*) Fjords: 447.42 (1*) Haflingers: 496.41 (4*) Highland Pony: 409.22 Newfoundlands: 417.87 (1*) Quarter Pony: 477.27 (4*) Shetland : 591.53 (11*) 1st gen Welsh: 415.59 (1*) Percherons: 503.74 (3*) Shires: 461.15 (2*) Drum horse: 1911.21 (134*) - Current Top GPs for NIB Horses: (bred with the *'new' foundies* who have the higher GP) Barb : 5010.37 (445*) 2nd gen Camargue : 4944.16 (438*) 2nd Gen Canadians: 4019.57 (346*) 3rd gen Curlys: 4480.67 (391*) Hanoverian: 5510.41 (494*) 1st Gen Holsteiner: 4627.18 (405*) 1st Gen Knabstruppers: 3611.72 Finnish : 7001.13 (*642*) 1st gen French Trotter: 5674.95 (511*) 2nd gen Friesian: 4608.48 (404*) 2nd Gen Lustiano : 4977.80 (441*) 1st gen Mangalarga Marchador: 7417.82 (685*) 4th gen Marwari : 5409.48 (484*) 1st Gen Nokotas: 5283.03 (471*) 3rd Gen Paint Horse: 3094.08 (252*) Purebred Spanish Horse : 6045.91 5th gen Quarter Horse: 3104.63 (253*) Russian Don: 6747.60 (617*) 1st Gen Kerry Bog: 3892.85 (332*) Newfoundland Pony: 6955.84 (639*) 1gen Welsh: 6844.92 (627*) 2nd Gen Ban'ei: 7638.35 (707*) 3rd gen Drum Horse : 2378.86 (181*) 5th Gen Percheron: 5508.49 (494*) 1st Gen Shire : 5067.74 (451*) 2nd Gen Rivenwood's update schedule: Sundays: Players breeding non-inbred horses may post the GPs of the horses they think are amongst the highest in the breed in this topic.

So yes, but primarily we only do purebred lines/genetics for NIB since crossbreeding has it's own forum. But that being said, everyone has their own projects

I am back after long hiatus, my old account was deleted from inactivity. My former login was bumblesmama (actually if you look early in this post, 2011 or so, I am talking about my NIB Arab project).
Anyway, I thought I would do an NIB Curly project. How do I find foundies in the sales with the new GP changes? I had a HNIB project back in the day, just wondering if that is even possible now? I am relearning the terminology, so bear with me, and trying to find other NIBers to be friends with.
|
I am trying to start a new NIB project, my only experience with NIB projects was an HNIB project I did with original 350/351.2GP foundies a long time ago.
Trying to find foundies is challenging if the base value changes with time as foundies are added to the game. Is there a post or EC forum somewhere that keeps a current (not sure if it needs to be daily) base GP for foundies?

You can find out what the current foundie GP is by going to a horse breed's page. The green star skill distribution at the bottom should reflect what the foundie GP for that day is. Not sure if the GP itself changes based upon breed though. |
hey all! the other day i tracked down 3 NIB horses in the sales so i can start on this project. i have some other projects as well, and i don't spend money on this game, so it'll be slow going but i just wanted to say hello as an aspiring NIB breeder!

Very interesting I don’t think I am a dedicated nib but I like the idea of it so I might help contribute as I like the idea and the fun of it. Also just recently snagged a few priceless unicorn foundations and just had born 2 nib unicorn foals I’m so happy, I also have a few breeds of foundies so if anything I can sorta help if people need it
|
@ dααé
Thanks for the tip. Yes, that is the exact place to look for current found base GP. I sampled a bunch of different breeds and they all have the same base GP, so that answers that. As if today the base GP of foundies is 5652.

This is my 2nd gen unicorn! I'll be getting a 3rd gen going as soon as I BLUP my 2nd gen fillies!

Looking to purchase breeding stock for Lipizzans. 350 GP only.
Please PM me if you are selling. Thanks! |
I live in the US and it is still Sunday here. This horse was born a while ago, but I just remembered to update. He is a 3rd gen Friesian from High GP foundation stock.

I've got a collection of Barbs, 9 foundations plus 3 generations (4 horses). I'd like to pass these on to someone who will appreciate the work I've put into them and take them farther than I will. If you'd like to discuss, please DM me. Thanks!
|
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone had any NIB Hanos, TBs, Arabs, or Welshes that they are looking to rehome?
I am starting a fun, NIB side project that requires all 4 breeds and haven't seen many in the sales that aren't under 1,000 passes! The horses don't have to be a certain age or skill level or anything as long as they are NIB. Let me know please!

DM me if anyone wants a 100 BLUP PSH Unicorn new foundie

For anyone wanting to breed the newer percherons, GP is in the 5100s.
|
How far back in the family tree is considered NIB? I'm guessing the whole thing however some family trees take ages to search through.
|
Yeah the whole family tree. The members that NIB usually will use spreadsheets to keep track of everyone and their lineage to have it in one location but starting out unfortunately you do just have to track it horse by horse.
|
ah okay, might have to just buy a foundie stallion then, thanks!
|
I definitely recommend using stallions and mares that you own too because you never know when a player is going to quit, causing you to lose like half your blood line if you use outside stallions! (It's happened to me and it's the worst!)
|
Yea I can imagine. Unfortunately, I don't have a foundie stallion in my collection
|
I'm looking to start a new foundie project just for fun, anyone have any ideas how I could find foundies in the direct sales? I've been randomly seeing some cheap ones the past couple weeks and looking today I wasn't able to find any that weren't way too expensive. Thanks!

The ranking should be updated soon, guys. I missed some time due to some pesky Real Life stuff.
Also, since there is always some confusion....for the purpose of the rankings, a 'first generation' NIB is the foal of two foundies, not the foundies themselves. Foundies are essentially 'gen zero', since they are generated by the game and not 'bred' by a player. So if you submitted a horse and the gen in the rankings doesn't appear to match up, that's why! Of course, since NIBing is an informal thing and not an official game activity, you can number generations however you wish to within your own program. There's no 'wrong' way, really. It's just a matter of keeping things uniform in the main post above.
