Breeding Stud 2

Horse breeding is reproduction in horses, and particularly the human-directed process of selective breeding of animals, particularly purebred horses of a given breed. While feral and wild horses breed successfully without human assistance, planned matings can be used to produce specifically desired characteristics in domesticated horses. Furthermore, modern breeding management and technologies can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling. The male parent of a horse, a stallion, is commonly known as the sire and the female parent, the mare, is called the dam. Both are genetically important, as each parent provides half of the genetic makeup of the ensuing offspring, called a foal. (Contrary to popular misuse, the word "colt" refers to a young male horse only; "filly" is a young female.) Though many horse owners may simply breed a family mare to a local stallion in order to produce a companion animal, most professional breeders use selective breeding to produce individuals of a given phenotype, or breed. Alternatively, a breeder could, using individuals of differing phenotypes, create a new breed with specific characteristics. Breeding Stud 2 is the sequel to Breeding Stud - Bokujou de aimashou and the second game in the Konami's horse breeding simulation game series in which the player is the owner of a ranch and he has to train his horses to win races and trophies that he can see in his trophy room. In the game the player can buy new horses, decide which food they will have each week, talk with the different trainers, check the stables, take the horses to the races and all with a 3d graphics engine in the races and in the ranch. At the beginning of the game he can choose the clothes colour of his jockey. The game features a movie player (the opening movie is the only one avaliable at the beginning of the game), and stadium views.
