New Horse Breeding Mechanics and Control

-If both of the horses are fed with golden apples, the resulting foal will have a 100% chance of getting the same amount of hearts of the horse with the most hearts, for example: If you have a 13 hearts horse and a 10 hearts horse, the baby will always have 13 hearts + a higher chance of randomly getting more hearts, rounded to the lower and capped at 30 HP (15 hearts).

-If both horses are fed with golden carrots, the baby will have a 100% chance of having the max speed and acceleration of the fastest, with a more likelihood of getting +Max Speed or +Acceleration, but not both Buffs in one Foal.

-If both horses are fed with hay bales, the baby will have a 100% chance of having the same jump height of the highest jumping horse, with more likelihood of randomly getting better jump height.

Now, if you feed a horse with, for example, hay bales, that DOES NOT guarantee that the foal will be as fast as the adult horse, only that it will be as good as a jumper, the same with all of the different traits and food.

Lastly, if you feed horses different food, that will be like the current breeding, more or less random.

    Since horses have 3 main categories being health, speed, and jump height, maybe these could be upgraded with potions. For example: once both parents are under the influence of these potions and you breed them together, the resulting foal would have higher speed, health, or jump height. You can continually breed to get a horse with Max of everything. You wouldn't get max of any of the categories on the first try, however by continuing this process you could eventually accomplish it.
