## Q: What is breeding in Eden Horse?

Just like actual breeding in real life, dam and sire breed to produce foal (racehorse) to race in tournaments in Eden Horse.

## Q: How can I get a foal?

## Q: I can't see my foal (racehorse) after breeding. Where is it?

Dam (mare) is the mother horse, sire is the father horse, and racehorse is the foal of the parents and races in tournaments.
