Horse Breeding and Taming

Here is where we will post tips on horse breeding and taming from our own experiences...

In the North American version of the game there are 7 tiers of horses.  You can breed horses at all levels, but keep in mind the higher the level of your horse the more likely you will have a better result.

Beginner's Guides:

For an in-depth guide I would recommend checking out Dulfy's site on Horse Breeding and Taming - definitely a useful resource for any BDO Horse enthusiast :)

On the BDO community forum, I found an excellent post on horse breeding, you can find it here - definitely recommend it. The person went into detail compiling tips on the many aspects of horse breeding.

BDO has recently added Wild Tier 4 and 5 horses that you can tame as of March 8,2017 - wonderful news since the horse market was truly lacking in its selection of horses!

In the NA version, we are all now able to level our horses much more easily with Auto-looping, so you can breed your dream horse... :)

Horse Calculators: 

An excellent horse calculator can be found here - gives details on what levels give you the best chance at higher tiers and what colors can occur in your foals.

Another useful website about horse breeding is http://www.blackd.de/horse/ - which gives you a cool calculator to figure out what combinations of horse tiers and levels with give you a good chance at getting the horse you wanted.

Horse Tier and Color Chart:

A wonderful guide on our quest to produce a purebred Tier 7 horse, which calls for 7 points in either red, white or black to produce (with only a 12% chance of occurring even with having a total of 7 colors from parents... i.e. Stallion has 3 points in black and Mare has 4 points in black, giving a chance at a Purebred Black Tier 7 horse)  Use the color guide below to help plan your own Tier 7 horse breeding: Image of all the horse tiers and colors available!

Here is another useful set of horse tier images for posting on the forums etc

Breeding Results:

Here are the latest breeding results!

Also you could check out the BDO Forums for a thread called Horse Breeding Findings for a wonderful discussion on the Black Desert horses... we definitely learned a lot from them about horse breeding.
