Change horse stat raising from being born to training

[xTrainx]

I would prefer if you could raise your horse stats except impregnation by training them somehow (possibly by just riding them long enough but that's kinda vanilla) and instead their inherited quality determine how fast those stats raises.

The reason being that I will inetavitably bond with the first bunch of pixel in horse shape i tame even at base 10 and probably keep riding it until a bear maul us both to death, and so that interaction should be recognized a bit more, just saying

Instinctive reaction is "aw heck no, breeding is cool for the 5 of us who enjoy it"

Second reaction "If horse stats are training based I could actually breed for colour instead of stats..." I'm sad in general that animal colours are basically a "well that's what we got this world I guess". The amount of quality lost breeding them for colour is immense.

Take that for what you will.

People are going to bot riding horses in circles to raise stats if it works like this. It's going to be the new hunger-plowing.

I suggest painting the horse with a sketch!

Would be cool if domesticated animals could be trained/bonded with in addition to their genetic qualities. It could be something completely separate from the breeding system, like a bonding bar that gives a % buff to the animal's stats. Maybe you could hand feed the animal a clover once a day to increase this bar or something.

1x clover per day, Bonded animals only rideable by their bond, increase all riding stats by 1% to a max of 10% type idea? That be kinda neat, although it doesn't solve the "how can we intentionally breed for colours without basically ignoring the game's mechanics otherwise".
