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.

Does anyone know a good combination for a western monster (that's not barrel). I would like to do a crossbred that could eat western wins, lol.

I have access to above sales-gp Shagya Arabians, Trakehners and Irish Hunters, and may be able to get a crossbred Lusitano or Friesian cover if I ask nicely default smiley (lol). Having said that I'm not too fussed about GP so long as it would stand a good chance of winning once decked out with full BMs and stuff.

Thanks.

Reporting in since I missed yesterday. First order of business, Paradise Lost, lusitano cross, sold today for 100k and 2 pass. Second, Narcissistic Cannibal is up to 80 Barrel wins. Woot! And third, Still working on gaming Avenging The Fallen. Once thats done, I will beach and start comping again with lessons until 25. Need to save up my passes for a cloud pack on that one.
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 18:17:44
megawifey- I would personally because his genetics are sloppy. all the uneven breed percentages makes it difficult to determine what kind of foal he would have if breed to another cross. But he is nice.

How do you get an australian Pony? A Holsteiner? Trakhener? etc.? default smiley (o)
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 19:56:38
Um, you go to the sales and buy them?

Anyone have a Arab/Lusi stud? The GV/Mar filly's not BLUPped yet but I plan to finish her by tomorrow and I'd rather breed her to a cross than to an Arab and then to a Lusi.

I mean, are they the result of cross breeding because they are not on the foundie list when you make your first horse?
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 20:06:40
They're not. You can find them in the directories as their own breeds. Don't know why they're not a foundie option, though.
I believe it's because howrse wants them to be of the rareish side. I'm betting the Nakota and the other new westerny breeds they come out with will not be a foundation option for joining howrse. Or they may be on there for a day or two then taken off.

No they won't be part of the foundation stock you can select from when you first join howrse. Those horses are already programmed to be the first. Any new breeds added to the game since the game first came online you can only get through sales.

Its the same with the Russian Don's. Breeds added after the games initial start wont be added to the first horse breed this for new players.

Well, Im bored. Nothing new.

Can someone please explain to me what exactly cross breeding is? Thank you! I may like to get into it.... But I just adore and LOVE purebreds! default smiley (l)default smiley (l)

meghan10- crossbreeding is just taking different breed horses and breeding them together. Helps even out skill s or make a horse who is bad in one skill better at that skill when breed to another breed who specializes in that skill. Like GV's have low trot. Breed it to a female standy and you get a GV with better trot.
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 22:14:17
My plans keep backfiring. I was gonna BLUP my GV/Mar tonight but the next gen PB Mar I just bred has 199.34 dressage and 109.49 trot, so if I BLUP/breed a few more generations I can get 67* PB Mars and the GV/Mar I breed out of THAT will have higher GP than the one I popped out last night. Argh, why do my Mars make life so difficult.

Also, um, anyone have a box + shower I can use for 3 days?
I was hoping to get started on my Westerner, but I'm just now getting home and we mitt be leaving soon. *grumbles* And my 10 passes won't be coming in. Bleh.

I have bred the best cutting and western pleasure horse ever i bred a thoroughbred-paint-mustang-connemara-shetland cross and he has alot of wins,stars, and gp but i sold him not room :,(
Do you think it would be worth it to turn this guy into a female? I need to breed him with a PSH/ Paint, which I have as a male. Or should I just breed another one like him, although I need his mom for other things..

Savannah11166 - thanks default smiley :) could you PM me his link?
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 22:59:53
Hey guys I'm back! How's the crossing going?

It looks like I will *finally* be able to start working on Smooth Criminal, (this horse should have been done by now. It's irritating me that I haven't started working on her yet... default smiley (li) )

On the bright side Dancing Through Life is still ranked #4 Elite Shagya! default smiley xd I would never have expected her to stay up there so long. I must have done something right then! default smiley ^)

Also, what do you guys think of Holsteiner crosses?
By Retired breeder, 10th February 2012 23:11:13
Horselover- Haven't seen very many Holsteiner crosses. May be worth it to breed one.

Fifth- What do you think would pay off more? Bluping and breeding some generation Mars or skilling one now and waiting till later? You could always wait and beat yourself out later lol.

I would like to see a Mustang cross. Thinking of doing one myself but I dont have the passes or time. They look like it would be a fun cross to do though...
