BREEDING RULES AND REGULATIONS 

X - - - - - - - X

​

The American Cattle Horse Association does not handle breedings like normal HARPG groups, we simply do not regulate, roll, or restrict breedings done with your ACHorses. You may crossbreed, line-breed, or inbreed, if you wish. 

​

However, we do have stipulations on the registration of those foals.

​

  1. The Dam & Sire MUST be registered ACH, for the foal to be registered as ACH.  If the parents are not ACH then the foal will be rejected.

  2. The foal MUST BE a viable outcome of the parents.
    ​      example:  Dam: EE aa [black] & Sire: EE aa[black] - cannot produce a foal: ee aa[chestnut]

  3. The group will roll foals if you would like, just ask in the discord.

  4.  Pass down rates of Mutations are not like most of HARPG - if you breed two recessive mutations [nX] together you have the opportunity of a dominate mutation [XX].

​

All we ask is that you keep this within reason. Thank you & Have fun.

CROSS BREEDING ACH

There are certain breeds of Equids that can successfully breed with ACHA and can be registered within the group to receive ACHA benefits.

SOME MULEINGS,
News on the breeding of American Cattle Horses

Now as more and more genes start to show themselves, we have started to realize that the horses themselves are fascinating creatures. I just recently found out that one of my mares was in foal while pastured with her burro friends. She has only been in a pen with them since weaned,  but in the past, no other ACH has ever gone into foal with donkeys before. I thought that would be fine so I can keep her away as I had other breeding plans for her after training. 

But after a long wait,  and much to my surprise, a healthy mule was born.  

​

Well shoot, it is possible now.

MULES ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO BREED & REGISTER AS A PART OF ACHA.

  • They can only be brought in by breeding a Male Donkey to Female ACH.
    -  The donkey does not have to exist as a character, but listed in heritage as “DONKEY”

  • They must be bred from a Registered ACHA Mare.

  • Mules have their own Import lines, please use these upon registration.

  • They can have any gene from the Dam’s side.
    –  if it has line specific mutations (IE. Jack/Camaztoz/Wendigo) the mule cannot show those line edits, It must stay on the mule lines.

  • MULES CANNOT BE BRED TO OTHER ACHs - they are infertile. 

 

WHEN BREEDING FOR MULES - PLEASE REMEMBER:

These are the only genes that will be used for mules breeding in ACHA. I know there are more but these are the most commonly seen.
Common donkey’s genes are as follows:

- Black[E_ aa] | Bay[E_ A_] | Chestnut [ee A_]
- Dun [D]
- Pangare [P]
- Champagne/Ivory(?)** - realistically, not the same, but for this, yes.

- Roan **

- White Paint Spotting **

 ** see note at bottom

​

Mules will need to be a combo of some of the donkey genes & Dam’s genes.
IE: you cannot get a cremello mule because the cream gene isnt present in donkeys - so the mule foal would be palomino. ALTHOUGH, You could get a Cream Champagne if you play your cards right.

​

You will get a recessive gene of any of the Dams genes OTHER than the these, which you can get dom genes of:

- DUN
- PANGARE
- CHAMPAGNE
- SPOTTED ROAN **

 

​

** You cannot get a SpottedRoan mule even if the sire donkey has both of these genes,

only way to get SpottedRoan Mule is if the Dam shows SpottedRoan, then you have the option between Dom SR and Rec SR expressions. Which can be found here
