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!

    Just plodding along on getting horses trained. Love that NIB can be done slowly. My yearly goal is at least one full BLUP a year. If I keep that pace, I'll finish all my foundies many, many years after I pass on! default smiley xd

    I always wanted to try it out. Like use random breeds I'm given from Ran. But I've never gotten around to more than thinking about doing it default smiley :)

    Are you considering doing specific breeds?

    As such I do not think they'd be considered NIB.
    Correct me if I'm wrong - but it would still be fun to do.

    There are a few that have played around with NIB crossbreeding. They will not count for the rankings, but they are still fun!

    I used to breed Australian and Welsh ponies back in the day, and I would really like to go back into it.

    I consistently purchase my NIB horses at 10,000e each, and foundies I usually pay 20,000e. My goal is to obtain at least one filly/mare of each breed (Aussie & Welsh) to get started. Two fillies/mares each would be my ideal. I am also not shy about purchasing colts/stallions and will gladly take one or two each.

    So, if anyone has Australian or Welsh ponies that they're interested in selling, or if I could purchase a foal from somebody, pretty please send me a message. default smiley :)
