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.

This is ridiculous. What Western Pleasure comps out there require 20%? How high does your trot have to be? Do I have to go ruin a horse by training only in trot or something?

Sweet, Fearless picked up all 20 wins in trail class comps! I'll probably keep entering them until she can't gain from dressage/trot/jump and then start pet games, default smiley xd
HB, could I have those two foals I marked with an " ** "?

Yay! Thanks HB! I'm going to use them for this Hackney cross I'm working on.
Oh, and the Comps finally finished! Took long enough...

No prob and then let Fifth if she wishes. ^^

I only found *one* 20% comp with her. It was after I entered my horse Ghost Hunter in too. Maybe that did something, but the rest were 18%. Open breed obviously. But any possible tips to get a 20%.

Thanks Horsebabe. I was thinking reining for that filly. If you'd like I can breed another for you from the same mare?
She entered four WP comps.

I hope it wasn't a fluke that Lenovo scored a 20% lol

Maverick, how many stars did the mother have?

One had 83 stars, the other 88 (I don't go by stars normally as they vary from breed to breed)

Ok, thanks. Unfortuantly my mare I was going to use only has 69*. I guess I could use that guy... *goes off, murmuring about a plan*

Lets just say they were both 1390+ GP
But Hackney crosses tend to make nice allbreed dressage horses, King currently has 190+ dressage wins before he is 14

Maverick, that's a lot of wins default smiley :o

Anyone need something to be done, like foal games or killing pass horses...?

Not compared to some of my crossbreds... one of my older horses has at least 170 wins in everything aside from the new comps... here
And another who has 157 wins in every comp

I found the trick! Turns out all my skillers were in stalls with showers, reducing the energy they need to compete. So I put one of my old Standie crossbreds in an EC w/o a shower and voila! A bunch of 20% Western Pleasure comps show up!

Now I need to find a way for my horses to make mistakes in five Western Pleasure comps. How do....?
Maverick, you have some insane crosses..

HB, if you dont mind, I'm going to give all your horses a seahorse and lyre. (I'm bored)

Thanks bob default smiley xd I just like the random mixes as they do give me some nice horses... Might start those up again instead of aiming for leaderboards as they earn me a load of money default smiley xd
And smooth Fifth default smiley :p least you figured that out default smiley :)
And use your worst horses... easiest way to do it
