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.

Speed, galloping, and jumping will go up if it is an Irish/App cross. If it is an App/Irish cross, then Stamina and dressage will go up. Does anyone know how to embed a microsoft excel file to the web? I've got a chart I made that helps a lot in viewing mix choices..
By Retired breeder, 21st April 2010 23:26:02
Embed an excel file? I don't use excel, so I sadly can't help you there. Maybe you could upload it to something?

Wait, is there any difference in Irish/App crosses and App/Irish crosses?
By Retired breeder, 21st April 2010 23:30:36
As far as entering against other pure Irishes or Apps in different comps go, they are different. I guess, look at it this way. This is what I recently sent to someone, and that someone wanted a Paint that was good in cross country..

breeding [a pure bred Paint mare] to an Arab would certainly bring up [cross country skills] in the foal, but the foal would be an Arab/Paint. Thus, the foal would be an arab with better speed and galloping, but less stamina, jumping, and dressage, you see? So the foal would be best at gallop races, better than most pure arabs. If you want a good cross country paint, then the mare needs to be an arab and the stallion a paint.

Get what I'm saying now?
By Retired breeder, 21st April 2010 23:32:30
No, I-i really don't. default smiley :$

Because, if you add paints to an arab's bloodline it looses stamina, jumping and dressage, but gains speed and galloping?
By Retired breeder, 21st April 2010 23:39:17
Sorry, I don't mean to embarrass you, don't be!

Here, maybe this will help: A screen shot from my chart:

Those are the % skills that I wrote down from howrse's charts. Say that you want the cross to be Irish, half App. So look at the App. What skills are higher in the App than the Irish? Those skills are what will be increased in the Irish mix by the app blood.
I've got to go now, sorry!

So, it's Dressage and Speed?

I am thinking about ( when they are both skilled) Breeding my 8* quater pony male to my 23* Arabian female. Would the baby be a Q. pony or an Arabian? Thanks
By Retired breeder, 21st April 2010 23:54:49
It would take after the father so it would be quarter ponydefault smiley ;)
Mischief- I have a QP/Arab in my Fame Monsters tab if you'd like to see what they turn out like a head of time. default smiley ;) The fillys name is I May Be Rude.

good gawd what happened to this fella's genes o_O

Another great IBS production though default smiley (7)

To further explain this one's genes, his great-grandparents are 50/50 crosses grandparents are one pure TB and one 50/50 cross and his parents are a full Arab and 75/25 cross.....I was expecting it to right itself to 50/50 by switching the gene pool back around but I was very wrong!

awww, *cuddllies* Could the new graphic for the arab foal be any more cute? Makes me want to hug the little guy. default smiley (lol)

Forest Queen,
the gene thing happens like that a lot. It becomes random within the possible choices after a few crosses are made.
I know isn't it.

Looks like I'll be scrapping these two colts I just bred default smiley xd. I figured out a way to *hopefully* get back onto the 50/50 track my team was originally on.....we shall see in a few days if it plays true or not though default smiley *-)

Forest Queen he has great ibs good job and seeing his grandparents I too would've also thought he would have a 50/50 crossdefault smiley (o)

The grandparents don't matter, as we figured out after the fact. default smiley (lol) It's the parents. Combined they are 75% tb and 125% arab. Which won't work out for a 50/50 cross. Since the dam is 75%tb/25% arab she needs to be bred to a 75% arab/25% tb stallion in order to become 50/50 again...if my math is correct. default smiley xd

I can't wait to age my 50/50 arabian, newfoundland cross. Iam hoping she will get decent skills. I plan to breed my chinco mare Maggie to my 22* arabian stally White Wonder when he is done being trained by a friend. I may use tears to get some skills since both parents will have all training finished.
By Retired breeder, 22nd April 2010 01:07:44
The arabian foals are the CUTEST things ever. I love them like zepharo. default smiley (l)
Here is the colt Vegas Diner just produced for me to help me fix my calculations error IBS is a little lower than his half sister Vegas Mama but his GP is higher so that helps make up for it default smiley :)
