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.

Anyone know what the Vanners have that the Arabs don't? Since they overtook the Arabs as the best cross-country horses on Howrse I've been trying to figure out what makes them different (and better, maybe). Thinking about doing a Vanner/Arab, but my Vanner is miles better than my best Arab right now.
The reason that vanners are better at cross country is they have better jump and basically equal (for all intents and purposes) stats in dressage and stamina. Even though the page for vanners "says" they are 4% lower in dressage, in reality, they aren't. So, given equal GP and training the Gypsy Vanner will always beat an Arabian.

I'm basing this on the top-ranked Arabian and Gypsy Vanner.

Wow, really? Man, the Arabs are in so much trouble, lmao. Well now I'm salivating over the idea of crossing my Arab/Candie/Hano cross with my other Vanner once I BLUP/bolt him.

What is the best horses to cross with a russain don for skills?
By Retired breeder, 29th November 2011 11:59:14
how do you crossbreed
Actually the Arabs are not really in trouble, they joined with us.(I'm in Enchanted Wonders.) And their are now breeding with us.

Anyways, I bred another Vanner/Arab and he came out with better stamina but not as good IBS. Ugh.

@Patrick might as well monopolize the stamina boards, eh? Mind a link to your Vanner/Arab; I want an idea of the kind of skill set the cross will come out with (mainly jump in comparison to stamina/dressage).

Can someone partner up with me and breed crossbreeds?
By Retired breeder, 29th November 2011 17:36:31

Ohhh my word, beautiful crosses, everyone. Just picked up a Gypsy Vanner mare myself. Although I don't think I've spent so many equus in one day before; an excellent mare picked up, tack for a number of horses (M2M bridles, FK shoes, and an MK saddle for *each* horse), *plus* covering fees coming up… @_@ Going to get ready to try some Gypsy crosses, though.

shiannes0820, that foal (Dream Catcher) is *beautiful* if I do say so myself, interesting cross no doubt!

winstin17, that's a nice cross -- I imagine a very, very excellent cross-country horse, that one shall be.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to breed Holding On To Heaven to? I'm stumped default smiley :p

winstin- Xellos horse has already been knocked down.

Well, went and bred myself a Holsteiner x Gypsy Vanner cross -- resold my GV mare (mostly just wanted to do this one cross default smiley (lol), might end up doing some GV x Holst crosses when my PB Holsteiner mare is blupped). *Very* happy with this foal.

DWS Insanity Reflex, Holst x GV filly.

Will probably end up Bolting this filly and making her a stud -- selling a few nice coverings from this foal.
