- This applies for BL Harlequines ONLY CL owners please refer to THIS crossbreeding chart [link] for an easy explanation
- Midnight Dancer is not available yet, it is an example for illustrational purposes
- BL families are NOT open to create.
- BL horses are NOT open to create.
- YES you will be able to crossbreed members of different families. The exeption STILL is Ghede X Noir, for reasons that are explained some time later.

Attention Owners of Noir or BL horses that have been bred before July 1st 2012. The current status of your horse is PARTBRED unless further notice.

What happens to the Noir and Ghede BL that have been created until July 1st 2012
- You will need to send them in for Approval. The reason for this is, that there is a massive amount of BLs that has been created, but deleted or is not active anymore. People who look for studs or mares are forced to dig through masses of horses jsut to find one they like, which is not active at all. Approval is NOT YET open (Details concerning Approval [link] )

Admittedly I'm getting very confused I'm guessing all the registering, approval and breeding and stuff is gonna be cleared up in a journal though.

I get the feeling my Devil is gonna end up losing his mojo haha. If he doesn't end up an 'approved' horse or whatever I'm just gonna geld him xD it's probably better for him anyway

The book is still not complete, and I hope it will be cleared up once it is completed. There will also be tutorials how to register, approve and such. I will do a second crossbreeding chart like for the CL, just to make certain it is clear.

He is active and well bred, I am fairly certain he has good chances to be Approved

Ahh that'll be lovely also I was wondering... if people volunteered up some bloodlines for Glamour, could I legitimately use those? Say we did some testing or something and finally found his parents. I know I'd need a Noir BL, and then another horse... I was just thinking about it earlier, cause I want him to be a little more legitimate :3

He's very active xD this puts my mind at ease a lot.

If you ask me I'd erase him from Noir's offspring and give him his own Bloodline descending from a Palfrey foundation sire, or even more cool from a Rouncey. Just saying

Hmmmm I like this idea... but everyone has foals out of him and Devil assuming they're from Noir's line so I wouldn't want to upset them >.< I could always make a journal asking them about it...

oke, let me see if I understand this ... because it becomes slightly confusing

so if a you a BL to a CL you get a partbred Harlequine.
since only BL can be fullblood.
if we want that this partbred is allowed to breed, we need to let it check by the group to gain the status of approved.

CL harlequine are just the colorlines, like they always have been.

Eine Frage: Ich hab zwei Harlequine Fohlen ([link] ), deren Eltern jeweils ein BL Harlequine und ein Araber waren, was die Eltern zu Partbreds macht, jeeetzt, wenn die Eltern nicht approved werden sollten, dann muss ich meine zwei Harlequine Fohlen aber nicht, keine Ahnung, löschen, oder so? XD

life-d-sign In reply to inglorious-vikings [2012-07-02 09:35:19 +0000 UTC]

nö du musst nix löschen. Sollten sie nicht approved sein sind sie immernoch registriert, du kannst das Fohlen approven lassen. Wir erklären dass so dass es eine Eigenart der Ghede und Noir Familie ist, sie vererben siche stärker und überspringen auch Generationen. LOL ich finde es witzig dass alle gleich Angst haben sie dürfen jetzt keine Harlequines mehr haben. Wir sind doch eigentlich nur ne Spass-gruppe, die Pferde werden nicht weniger wert nur weil sie nicht anerkannt werden.Naja. Hast du schon die Types gesehen? da müsste doch eigentlich was für dich dabei sein ;D

Ahhhhh, okay, danke! War im ersten Moment nur irgendwie erschrocken, wie anscheinend einige andere Leute auch, weil wenn die Eltern nicht approved werden, wie kann man dann ihre Kinder haben. ;3 Aber so macht das alles Sinn, danke für's erklären. :3
Meine Fohlen werd ich derweil aber noch nicht in die Gruppe tun, seh auch grad nichts, wo die Fohlen rein sollen, eher erst, wenn sie ausgewachsen sind, oder? :3
Jau, bin grad fleißig am schmöckern. ;3 Die beiden haben ja schon ein Design, wie sie als erwachsene Pferde aussehen werden, drum schau ich grad ob sie da in einen Type hinein passen. ;3

Naja deine Fohlen sind der Typ den ihre Eltern haben, wobei sie natürlich auch mehr oder weniger davon abweichen können.

inglorious-vikings In reply to life-d-sign [2012-07-03 19:00:13 +0000 UTC]

Hab schon fertig gelesen, sie sind beide wohl Palfrey-Typen, schon allein weil ihre Eltern jeweils ein Araber waren. Und für Harlequines gefällt mir der Typ eigentlich sowieso auch am bbesten. ;3

atm not existing, it is an example to illustrate what is meant by "Type", "Line" and Family.

Okay. So how will breeding work? I'm really confused about the whole Fullbred/Partbred thing...For example, what would my Harlequine, Adelaide, be? [link]

life-d-sign In reply to Obversa [2012-07-01 23:49:10 +0000 UTC]

Partbred

Obversa In reply to life-d-sign [2012-07-02 01:52:23 +0000 UTC]

Okay...so it's just Partbred, right? What are the steps to getting her registered and approved for breeding? I'm not very good with genetics...

life-d-sign In reply to Obversa [2012-07-02 01:58:30 +0000 UTC]

Genetics have nothing to do with that.

You find the information about the Approval if you follow the link in the artist comment

ok, thanks

Does DNA testing equate with having someone assign your horse a set of genetics?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

life-d-sign In reply to Obversa [2012-07-02 10:14:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you have the official statement that the horses color is caused by the Harlequine-Factor. The color could also be cause by other things like chimerism. The factor is not self replicating and never was, there has always been the chance that the gene is not passed on, but people just acted like that gene would pass on in 100% of the cases. Now chance is 50% that your partbred foal is a HAlrequine (/this is still decided by the breeder) and 25% that the Harlequine will pass the gene on to the next foal. This chance can however be influenced by the pedigree, the quality of the parents and such. So someone who has a nicely trained, showed horse and breeds it, will have a higher chance to get a Harlequine foal compared to a mass breeder. That is the goal.

Obversa In reply to life-d-sign [2012-07-02 20:36:17 +0000 UTC]

Okay. Thanks for answering my question so far!

Can Harlequines have spikes/etc.? Or are they no longer Harlequines if they have Otherworldly/Nightmare attributes? Do they still carry the Harlequine gene? How about offspring/descendants of BLs that don't have red, white, and/or red coloring?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

life-d-sign In reply to Obversa [2012-07-03 10:26:46 +0000 UTC]

THere are Harlequines of the Noir and Ghede Family that have Spikes, Horns and such. HOwever for the new lines we discourage that. It affects their trueness to type and will give them Penalties for Approval probably. It's not yet clear.

Supressed colors are allowed so one color of the three can be missing. Minimal colors are allowed so one color can be prominent while the other two are only a few hairs. THOUGH if two colors are missing or other colors are expressed they immediately loose their Harlequine status as does all of their offspring. Like a chestnut Frisian and his/ her foals they are all OUT.

Obversa In reply to life-d-sign [2012-07-03 23:03:33 +0000 UTC]

Ahh ok thanks for clearing that up!

So, are Rouncey and Palfrey, etc. just types and can be bred together? Or are they actually bloodlines? Are the newly made BLs new bloodliners like Ghede and Noir?

For example, if I wanted to breed BSS Alastair with another new Rouncey BL, would that produce feasible offspring?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

life-d-sign In reply to Obversa [2012-07-04 15:33:01 +0000 UTC]

The illustration on the page should clarify that.

if Alastair is approved or Fullblood and the Rouncey BL is also Approved or Fullblood (starter?) then the foal is Fullblood.
If alastair is a partbred and is crossed with an approved or fullblood BL the foal is a registerable Partbred.
If Alastair is just a Partbred and is crossed with another Partbred, the Foal cannot be Harlequine
