Breeder's Post: Estimating Your Foal's Adult Height

Estimating Your Foal's Adult Height


<*^*> <*^*> <*^*>

A short time ago, I came across a chart that showed the correlation between the height of a foal as measured within the first real day of its birth, and the height that the foal will reach when fully grown. After using this chart for several weeks, and keeping track of my findings within my own horses' profiles, I have come to the conclusion that this chart is actually quite accurate. 
I hope you all find it as useful as I have!

In Game Time Measurements


.01 Game Year = About 3.3 Real Hours

.10 Game Year = About 33 Real Hours

.5 Game Year = About 1 Real Week

1 Full Game Year = About 2 Real Weeks

20 Full Game Years = About 40 Real Weeks {About 10 Months}

.08 Days Remaining in Labor = 2 Real Hours or Less Before Birth
.04 Days Remaining in Labor = Less Than 1 Hour Before Birth


Zeus Tokens

Zeus Tokens can be purchased from other players inside the game.
They can used only on horses that are older than 5 years old.

There are 2 options to pick from while using a Zeus Token:

1.) Reduce the age of your chosen horse by .50 game years (about 1 real week).
2.) Increase the age of your chosen horse by 1 game year (about 2 real weeks).


Your Horse's LifeCycle

 .5 / .50 (1/2 Year of Age) ~ A foal is weaned from its dam. This means that the foal and/or dam can now be sold separately from each other. Also, this is the age when a colt foal may be gelded.

1 Year of Age ~ A foal is now considered a filly or colt. They can now gain ranch experience points, and they take a miniaturized version of their adult appearance.

2.5 Years Old ~ A colt or filly can now receive stat training, and they can now be ridden. (With tack of course.)

4 Years Old ~ Your horse is finally old enough to compete and can now be bred.

20 Years Old ~ Horses are now considered old. Also mares who have reached this age can no longer breed.

23 Years Old ~ Stallions of this age can no longer be used as studs.

25.5 Years Old ~ It's disappointing, but this is the age when every horse will die. 


(TIP: If you aren't going to retire your horse to your ranch, make sure you check how much it will sell to foreign for, at an auction house, before it dies. That way, you can make some extra cash right before it's going to die anyway.)


Introduction ~ Welcome Post


   About 2 months ago, I started an account on the website Horse Isle 2: LifeCycle. I noticed that there are many tips and tricks that would be incredibly useful if made available to other players. Some of this information can be found in other places on the internet, but I think it will easier for everyone if everything is available in the same place.
