[gurps] BioTech-- Eugenics Question

[Thomas Thrien]

I do not know much about breeding race horses, but a bit more about 
horses bred for jumping and dressage. And there they bring in "foreign" 
blood on a regular basis.

Additionally, I do not know about any RULE BASED limitations for horses 
that should enter a jumping or dressage contest (other than that it has 
to be a horse and not a mule, and that it has to be in a decent state of 
health). But obviously the chances of a 144 pony against a 172 horse in 
a jumping contest are not equal at best - although there are special 
contest that are open only for ponies.
