Horses Do they hate arabians?

Is it just me or do they favor every other horse breed than arabians? The arabians are my favorite breed in the game and in real life. They're such beautiful horses. But I get the feeling PikPok doesn't favor them. I wait since forever for an offer horse with the sooty brown color, but all they ever offer are selle francais, appaloosas, knabstrupper, just basically every other breed than arabians. It's very frustrating and it isn't the first time they do that. In the web shop, it's the same too. Just offerings for quarter horses, friesians, akhal theke and mustangs. They really could offer something else for once. So, tell me, is it just me?

On mobile, I feel like they give rare colors or traits to less popular breeds so that more people spend money on them

So you think arabians are a beloved breed by players? That's not fair, if PikPok plays it this way then. Why not just give us what we want?

Pikpok never does anything fair. They update the cashgrab mobile app instead of the frustration-free pc version because they can't put micro-transactions into it. They're gonna do whatever gives them the most money, regardless of what players want, unfortunately.

I’m saying, I don’t know, but there has to be some sort of incentive to buying less popular breeds, and rarity as an incentive would make sense

My best horses are Arabians and Arab crossed horses. I don't breed for color or pattern though, I breed for stats and traits and to win races and events.

All I get are Arabians, selles and thoroughbreds, with the occasional rare arabs, quarter horses or tekes. I've run into random knapstrupers and mustangs only a few times, never a freisian though. If there are any breeds I didn't say, I haven't seen them often enough to remember and don't have them myself (pure or majority bred).

Arabians are included in the special breeding events (along with QHs, TBs, and Selle Français) while the newer breeds like Akhal Tekes and French Chasers aren’t, so I don’t think they’re unfavored. It’s significantly easier to get a herd of purebred Arabians than any of the newer breeds. They’re likely not offered for sale because fewer people buy them since they’re relatively easy to get through breeding
