Foal = baby horse Colt = a male horse that has not yet given birth Filly = a female horse that has not yet given birth Mare = mare with offspring Stallion = male horse with offspring Female horses receive a slightly larger premium because they pay a mating fee when the horse breeds and can take ownership of the foal it lays down. Male race horses can be placed in a breeding area for 2-7 days. Once a race horse enters the kennel, it cannot be removed until the end of the breeding period. The male race horse owner can determine the mating price and receives a portion of the mating cost. The female proportion is 75% and the male proportion is 25%. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
