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.

For a Jumper, you could do a four way cross or a two way. Shetland's, Australian Ponies and Hanoverian's are the best for Jump. But to bring up the other skills, people use TB's, Paints, PSH and some Dressage horses like Luistanos and Friesians with extra stamina from Gypsie's and Arabians.
Amys...breed with a hano or an Aussie pony both have high jump/ speed skills but the hano has gallop where as the Aussie has dressage

Very nice eagle! Maybe a TB or a stamina breed? Or speed.

And hey everyone! How's everyone's crosses doing? default smiley :)
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 02:27:09
eagle- Maybe another 2 way like a Standy/Arab?
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 02:29:44
Wish I had time for this girl. I absolutely love her skill set. Maybe if my crossies sell, I will be able to re breed and then skill that mix!
okay, thanks everyone =] *Sails off to start project.* I shall return lol

I do have a paint/ hano but his GP is too low and I use him to target trots on the odd occasion mainly for objectives or in this case potions

Standy/ arab sounds promising - GP isn't too bad either and it'll go to either breed if the formula is correct - and I hate the TB and Arab coats however I can fix that with a GA

Twi- The good thing is, the player actually looks like they will be skilling.default smiley ;)

So, so I save my passes and get a Cloud Pack or try for a Nyx pack and try and get 2 more potion ingredients later?
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 02:48:24
*So, do I save....
shiannes; I'm waiting to get the other ingredients so I don't waste 3 passes on HoPs. And yay! Glad he went to someone who sees his epicness! default smiley :p

Haha.

Well, Im preoccupied. NASCAR is on and a car reported trouble right before it lost control and slammed into a jet drier. The car went into lames and so did the drier. Thankfully no one is hurt and the fir is under control. I'll be back in a minute.
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 03:11:02
Okay, excitement is over.

Twi- Check out that colt They are really skilling him up and have decked him out.
default smiley :o *goes to investigate*

He's so pretty! I really like his coat! default smiley (l) Can still get pretty far without Clouds too.

Ima hop off for the night. Can't wait to see Assassin up at #1 tomorrow! default smiley :-))

Yes!!! I'm so glad there's a new contest. Perfect opportunity for me to get a Nyx for my new project. Plus I got an HoP UFO and found a WoY when I opened it.

Speaking of the new project I should probably get to BLUP'ing my Fry/Vanner foal. Good thing I've replenished my stock of aging points. I don't know if I feel like working on him tonight though. Eh...I guess I should at least finish up his foal games.
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 03:41:28
Ah Twi nI was hoping you'd kill me horse lol. Thats okay I need something to do since te race isn't back up yet. Then I'd only need one pass and I could get a cloud pack for my Fry skiller.

Mess, you need a BLUPer?
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 03:45:09
Ah eaglespirit! You knocked Shadow Princess down a peg! default smiley xd. Time for a new cross!

And I really didn't introduce myself before. I keep a very small pure Friesian line for my EC (right now I'm at around 1437 GP) and do random crosses really, but focus on crosses with Friesian blood.

Currently my EC is at 58eq lessons, so if any of you need an EC, you can ask me.
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 03:48:07
shiannes- I might. I actually kind of like BLUP'ing though so I may just do it myself sometime this week. I have time anyway. I don't plan on breeding my next Fjord for a couple weeks.
By Retired breeder, 28th February 2012 03:51:55
Oh, I actually got an idea though. I saw that most of the top breeding groups sell people gelded foals for skilling. Might it be a good idea to do the same with my Fjords?

I could breed one with tears upon request, game it, age it up to 2yrs 6mo, geld, then give it to the person for skilling for maybe 2 or 3 passes. I'd only make a 1 pass profit (depending on whether I needed to use a ZLB or not) but it'd make my affix become more well known without having to have a breeding group.

So...good idea or not?
