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.

Random thought- They should be easy to cross with a high GP horse for breed top skiller. I would get your comps done early and stay in the breed only comps.

HB; Yay! Didja see Narc and Narcy's foal? Nice little GP jump. Seems like they always turn out female. default smiley (lol) Not entirely complaining though.
Gouldilox; I got a colt =/

Jeez, quite a bunch of wonderful horses being crossed here! Still obsessing on my set five breeds; this is an interesting game of mine. Well, still, I'm back. The itch kept nagging at me; I *had* to try crossbreeding one more time, with improved stock. And with a full-blown cross project staring me down, what could I do? I have to start it slow (and hope, hope, *hope* that I can get the horse I need), but here we are. Back again.

Seriously, though -- checking what I've seen here? Incredible.

These are my newest crosses -- somehow both ended up chestnut. Holsteiner x TB. This is the filly, Exposé Dance DWS, and this is the colt, Tactician DWS. In eventuality this'll be the start of my Holstein x TB breeding experimentations.

Now, if I can go where I wanna go with this certain idea in mind… I might be able to get somewhere. Expect a *lot* of crossbreds coming in soon; four PSH and four Lusitano. Starting my biggest project.

This is my latest cross. He just barely passed the skills of the current #1 Appaloosa. I gues his 404 IBS was a little low because his GP was certainly higher than the other one. I have a twin I may BLUP and Bolt but I am not sure...

My new cross I was really hoping for a female so I could age it and then breed it to a good trot horse, but he should make a could comp horse! All I ever seem to get is males (when I want females) and females (when I want males!). Off to see if I can scrounge AP's to try another breeding!
I am not counting on keeping it too long; you know how it goes!

Gouldilox, that is one heck of a cross! Wonderful work!

Blue_Jello, beautiful cross~. I like seeing interesting ones like that.
Gouldilox; We're up to 1288.30 (before games). ^^ True, true, but you can do it!

Thank you, Ignorance. : ) This is the start of the PSH side of the IberianxTB project I'm starting. This should be a fun project. Will be needing to find one Bolt for Shadow (I was *really* hoping he'd be a filly, but that's alright, once I can locate some passes I can get my hands on a Z.L. Bolt no problem). So this is Titanium DWS, first of my colts… I'll admit I'm a sucker for light gray coats and this cross is one of my favorites (aside from my beloved Holsteiner crosses). This is Shadow's Call DWS, the black filly -- I love this coat, and this cross, so a pretty good start to this project!
Winter- I like. I would not mind getting my hands on one of those to use for crosses. They are fast buggers!

Gouldilox -- I'm flattered! If you'd like, I could breed one for you -- the mare I'm using still has a bit of time in her, and I'd be honored to sell to you. : ) Breeding my last Lusitano cross from the mare -- second part of the project -- and then, if you'd like, I could breed you one. Once this foal is born I'll post the Lusitano crosses, too. Crossbreeding has *sincerely* caught my attention -- it's quite fascinating.
Sure thing. Just PM me when you have an "extra". I will be heading off to bed soon but you can put into the sales and I will get it when I am back.
Many thanx!

Thank you Winter for the colt. I have his BLUP up to 100%. He was an easy BLUP; I bet he will be a good sire as well.

All your wonderful crosses make me itch to do another one. What do you all suggest to cross with a Friesian so that I can get good speed, dressage, and jump?
By Retired breeder, 21st January 2012 09:24:15
I might be starting a Lustino/Mustang cross breed. Wish me luck ^^
