Finally a post just for us cross breeders. The purpose of this topic is for cross breeders to have a place to discuss their crossbreeding programs and to share crossbreeding secrets and advice with others who may be interested in giving crossbreeding a try. Feel free to talk about your crossbreeding programs and your achievements and failures in crossbreeding.
Please remember to follow the rules of the forum and be informative and helpful. default smiley :-))

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

Reminder to all.

Please do not advertise sales or items wanted in this topic. I can turn a blind eye to the covers being offered (as long as they are not blatant advertisements) because we are, after all, trying to help each other progress and there is no filter on public covers for searching for crosses, but items sales and items wanted do not belong in any of the public forums and we have a sales forum for horse sales so please, lets keep our topic clean of the ads.

Thanks everyone

There are reasons for rules and everyone is expected to follow them. There will be no posting of advertisements in this topic and everyone is expected to be respectful. Any disrespect towards fellow players or moderators will not be tolerated. Anyone posting advertisements will receive a forum ban without prior warning. If breaking of rules continues to take place in this topic I will delete it.

Thank you

If anyone has personal issues with another player, or needs something back from another player(items/passes), other than covers/fills-please take it to private pms...anymore posting here will mean an instant forum ban without a warning.

A reminder that this is not the place for trading/buying/selling BMI, horses or advertising or asking for someone to train your horse.
If any of these things occur, you will be forum banned without prior warning.

cross breeding is interesting as the horse turns out as the same breed as its sire
If anyone is on . . . I have two crosses.

The male is a double cross . . . paint and quarter. He is 16 stars but only has 3 areas of stars, Speed, Dressage & Gallop. His lesson skill will be Speed and Dressage.

I just scanned through my Other horses and found a filly that though she is a 5 way cross, is also 16 stars but only in Speed, Dressage and Gallop. I think her crosses are welsh, TB, etc.

Both of them, the stars are equally divided among only the 3 skills with him having an extra in Speed and her having the extra in Dressage.

They are both classifieds as Paints. If I breed them, once bluped/bolded, will I strengthen the 3 skills or will the "background" pop up and add unwanted stars to unwanted skills?

Hey hey Oz, it was actually you!!

Congratz Cherokee or Oz. Whomever it was. default smiley (lol) Oh well, that is still an amazing horse. I have started my crossing over. I have decided to do Chinco TB crosses. I know, kind of strange, but I own one and he isn't too bad, though he is just a foal. More on him later.

Congrats Lynn! hehe My best so far should be number one on connie dressage tomorrow but he is almost 25lol. ALthough I have a couple folas who should easily beat him out.
ALso on the breeding.. unless it is the initial breeding ,, the horse does not always reflect the stallions breed. If you have 2 50/50 horses there is still that chance that the foal will not be the sires visual breed.
CrmedelaRouge won two races, and bolded speed at 201! default smiley :d

MareyPony:

My understanding of crosses is that the majority breed "shows". So if both parents are majority paint, and different crosses otherwise, the foal should be paint because all the other breeds will be halved.

As for the stars, you can get a good idea by averaging the skills. Just add the two Speed stats together (170+165= 335) and divide by two (335/2 = 167.5) to get the projected skill of the foal. This is only projected because there's a +/- factor but I don't know what it is. Most of the crosses I've bred have come out very close to what I projected.

If you wanted to post links to the horses, that would help a lot, but this should give you an idea of what to expect.

In case of several equal breed crosses the breed of the foal is random! Chosen between breeds of grandparents. So if the foal has 25/25/25/25 it can be any of the 4 breeds.

50/50 crosses take the breed of the father.

Otherwise it's the majority breed or either of the majority breeds.

I encountered the random breed thing once, and learned my lesson.default smiley :(
By Retired breeder, 10th June 2010 17:45:07
What about if the father is purebred and the mother is 50/50? The foal woud still be the breed of the father right?
