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.

Well I am hoping that I can get some passes soon here so I can bling out General Assumption. Right now I am working his jump training but I just ran out of AP's!
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:09:27
Yeah, that's where I'm at with Rollin' With Class, I'm really hoping I can get that MA on him tomorrow so I don't have to worry about AP's
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:09:51
I am just hating AP's right now they are killing me!

[ul=http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=21921733]This Paint/TB/Appy filly is just amazing.[/url] Now I want to BLUP her and cross her with a TB to get a better Prixer than what I'll probably get if I bred her dam with a TB. Grrr. I guess I'll wait to use her for a fourth gallop Prixer.
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:15:11
Awesome, Fifth!!!

That reminds me that I need to start thinking of some Grand Prix crosses to do default smiley xd
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:15:46
sroseys1-Yeah, they've been slowing things up for me as well.
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:17:37
Oh yeah I need to do Grand prix horses too! I just actually need passes!
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:21:10
Looking over all the horses I need to update for the Grand Prix just made me cringe default smiley xd I've got a lot of crossbreeding to do after finishing Rollin' With Class.
I love that filly Fifth! Think I could get a custom foal out of her mama with Emergency?

Sure. I'll do it after I get three TB foals out of her. My god it's gonna be an expensive affair. Really hope the Paint/Appy blood in her gives her TB foals a better speed/dressage boost.
Alright, I've got plenty of time default smiley xd I'm thinking about another fresian cross, not sure what though. Probably gonna be a lusit for the dressage.

Also, just like to toss in, no EC would take Warrior, since I couldn't promise that he'd have 450+ dressage when he was finished, and he bolded with 400+ dressage, not counting his beach rides default smiley ;) So.. Ha! lol

I'm having a breed off to see which one of my horses has a purebred foal faster than the parentsdefault smiley :d Right now it's between Sunshine my Appaloosa mare and my Gypsy Stallion Black Knightdefault smiley :d
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 06:53:51
Success! A Devil Hunger's speed/dressage is higher than his purebred TB sire's! Not sure how much of a difference it will make but it should make *some* difference. Can't wait to start skilling him after the update. Dunno why he came out a plain bay, though; his two unTeared sisters are both dappled gray.
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 16:27:22
No!! Not another pass thing! Now my horses really won't sell! Darn you howrse!
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 16:27:59
This is my cross. He is:
25% arabian
25% gypsy vanner
50% standardbred

Charlie
i hope that link would work
Fifth; So far I've been okay without inbreeding my Trakes. But my latest foal is 25% with the other breeds 18%. Unless I can get my hands on a 20% five way, I think I may have to inbreed. If I manage that, I can pretty much say that foal will be a deadline to breed. Inbreeding isn't gonna work...

Well, I'll be skilling shiannes' gelding later today. So, that's a break from my Trakes. default smiley (lol) *pressure melts off for the day*

This is my arabian thoroughbred cross
Ančka
Im planing to breed her.
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 19:08:54
I'm....really not seeing how and why inbreeding is the kiss of death. This isn't like real life inbreeding, where both positive and negative traits are enhanced and a horse's pedigree starts looking real colorful.
Fifth; I don't understand the big deal on the game either, but I didn't need to worry with it until now. All my other crosses were bred for a specific sub board and breeding them wouldn't really help obtain a better one for that board. But now with these Trakes, it is different.

He is great fifth. I get a nyx pack from Balios in a week and I haven't done a TB in a while, thanks for the ideas. My bad news is that The White Queen seems to want to finish second. It's frustrating. She looked to be a great comp horse before I improved her.
By Retired breeder, 12th January 2012 20:33:36
I love doing gallop crosses. They're the easiest for me to BLUP/skill, especially if I crossbreed specifically for higher speed/dressage. Then they go around whomping everybody else, lol And apparently the BLUPping spree I went on yesterday means I'm #3 on the comp wins board (281 wins, wth).

@Twilight if you want to improve your Trake crosses and you don't have access to good GP covers you're gonna have to inbreed your own to boost GP. There's really no other way to go about it, unless you manage your breed percentages really well.
Fifth; I know I will have to inbreed to bring the GP up. I've gotten it just about as high it can go otherwise and stay Trake dom...73*

Ever had the *one* comp you need to run because your horse has nineteen wins? Meh.

Well crud, had a schedule next week for doing a trot cross for the Prix but I blew off a lot of passes getting the horses I needed for my TB cross and I want to start working on my Mar line again. Also need to skill a dressage cross for my EC, oh dear...
