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!

    Is anyone working with the new foundy Friesians, with GP of 9555?

    I have one if anyone's interested. I haven't done anything with it.
    Just send me a pm.

    Hey all! I have a fully blupped foundation Percheron mare that I have been unable to find a stud for. If anyone has a stallion that could breed, I would be willing to use a fertility wand on the covering and sell one of the foals for half the cost of the wand! PM me to set up details if you’re interested.

    Just found a 350 GP Newfoundland Pony foundie to go with my mare who I've had since restarting back in 2011 default smiley (7) Not sure why I waited so long to try and find one for her after selling off my others a long time ago but I did it! default smiley (lol) Happy to reserve coverings for anyone that needs him for breeding projects but I'll also be focusing my own covers with my 350 GP foundie mare

    My new stallion: FoundieStallion
    My mare: кσнαкυ

    What are the thoughts on having the starter twins' lines eventually cross again after a few gens? Does it NIB?

    To be offically NIB, no, they can not cross back into the line after a few breedings. What we consider a NIB, there mist be no repeats anywhere in the family tree. New foundations or non-related NIB must be added to continue the line. BUT for your own purposes and personal breeding projects, you most certainly can!

    Are you speaking about continuing a NIB line for your Standies? I love working with the Standies, they are a fun breed! I have an OG (350-351.2 GP) line I am currently working on. Glad to see potential for an RG line starting up! Good luck!

    Thanks for the clarification @lbenedict15!!! And yup, I'm a returning player new to NIB so I figured it'd be perfect to hop in with my Standie starter horses and now I know to use just one of the twins. Managed to grab a few Gaia foals before my 30 day thing was up so giving the RG line a go!

    Cool to see the dedication for the OG lines! Going to try my best on this default smiley :)

    Oh, sorry, I misunderstood! The two starters are considered both foundations, so they are fine to even breed together.

    It would just be an issue if they were bred back into the line down the road. Like, breeding a 10th generation back to one of the 1st gens in the line.
