[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.

As I have lost a lot of interest in this game, I am going to be breeding NIB Morgans... Hopefully anyway. Got tonnes of Foundation stock that I'm playing with at the moment but no foals yet.

The great thing about the World Tour breeds is that there is plenty of foundation stock out there, often ungamed foals meaning you can get them to 351.20 GP - it's a great start on NIB breeding with those breeds.

This is neat! It is about time NIB's had our corner!!
 |
By Retired breeder, 24th November 2009 20:01:00
Hooray, bred the first foal in my revived NIB breeding project - a cute little black newfie filly named Megafauna.
|
By Retired breeder, 24th November 2009 20:03:40
Aww...congrats!
|
By Retired breeder, 24th November 2009 20:04:52
Aww!
The ponies are so cute lol. I'm in the process of roping together a bunch of foundies! |
Right now is actually a great time for NIBing - as I have found with the new tack and competition changes, using the Saddler tack has made a lot more of my "rescued" foundations get their wins a lot faster. (Rescued as in, I got them after improper games and training). Also, the GP gains I find keep on increasing with foundation foals. I just had my first foundation x foundation foal that will have a GP of over 357 after games!
|
Woohoo! Sahara now has 10 wins! Not much compared to the skillers, but for a foundation it's pretty good. I might use my newly won Golden Spurs on him too!
|

I remember breeding NIB arabians back when I started the game, the foals after games would all be 352.something, now they're solid 356's! It'll be frustrating if/when it changes again, though, as old foals/lines won't be as high in GP.

are there any NIB horses with green stars??
|
By Retired breeder, 24th November 2009 23:15:59
At this time, no there are not

Hmm i think i'll use my morthers family tree maker to keep track of the generations of my horses..
. I can just see my mom going " i dont have a grandmorther named Dancing Ribbons!"  . |
I had bunches of Barb foundies corralled together but I needed the money so I sold them.
|
By Retired breeder, 24th November 2009 23:37:49
I know have two mousegray NIB paso's!
|
My attempt at keeping all of my generations separate and NIB was ordering a family tree program. It won't arrive for a while, but I think it will be very helpful.
|
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 01:42:52
I'm going to try my hand at NIB breeding. Think I'm going to work on PSHes.
|
I'm so glad to see this topic!!
Currently, I NIB pretty much every breed available . I've been hunting around for places to find other NIBers to network with.
|
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 01:52:51
If you check out sitstay.com, it's a website that offers custom family trees that you can email to yourself. Might help some of you

I have (yet another) question.
When I'm buying foundies, is it important to make sure that they haven't been bred already, and if they have, to keep those horses from breeding? or does it not matter? |
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 11:27:21
It won't matter as long as you never breed with them or any of their off-spring.
|
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 11:29:52
It never bothered me - if you want the only offpring of your foundies to be NIB then you may want to get unbred stock only, but it won't affect your own lines (and presumably you'll have an affix for your NIB foals so it'll be clear which of the offpring was bred as part of a NIB project).
With foundies, the only thing I avoid are horses with most/all of their training complete and no comp wins, especially if they are upwards of 12 years old. In my experience, although it is possible to get the comp wins on them it presents too much of a difficulty and there's risk of the horse (if it's not immortal) getting to 25 without reaching 100 BLUP. |
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 11:49:22
Ok
That will make this whole process a LOT simpler! I have around 15-20 horses waiting for auctions to end.  I didn't focus too much on gender, I figured I'd do that once i have a sizeable herd. |
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 11:54:42
I'm not bothered by gender, either - if a foundation is good enough I want it for my breeding project and can always Bolt it later.
|
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 13:08:23
I immortalize my foundies that have the highest gp (351.20) which is pretty much all of them. That is the only thing I look for in foundies is their gp's.
|
By Retired breeder, 25th November 2009 13:54:54
I have a thoroughbred foundy for sale. Thought I was going to be a NIB breeder but decided against it.
