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.

Now that I've read back....I might be confused......perhaps we need a slightly more veteran breeder in here....I've bred my crosses to switch dominant genes every other one but only for the last couple of gens so I don't know now....o_O I'm flustered now haha

So my 50/50 Mustang/PSH crosses are genetic freaks? Cool!

I wonder what will happen with the next generation? I wonder if they'll switch again, or stay as PSH. Time will tell!
By Retired breeder, 26th April 2010 04:34:28
Ah. Hmm. Maybe we should ask out in the Game Play forum?
I think it would get answered best in here. The best crossbreeders hang out in here and not as often in there. *pulls up a chair and waits*

In the GP forum we'll end up with answers from players that don't know about crossbreeding or anything haha

Could be. I already gave it a shot before you replied though (I'm a trifle impatient), so I guess we'll see what we can get!
lol one can only hope but I think there will be a lot of contradictory remarks default smiley xd

I have bred my first cross breed and he is an Anglo-Arabian, for those who do not know this an Arabian Horse crossed with a Thoroughbred.
He is a 21 star horse! Better than my pure-bred horses actually.
His name is;
Salvatore
Anglo-Arabs★ .•°•.°
Navigate to my page and click the breeding farm, Anglo-Arabs★ .•°•.° and you can't miss him as he's the only one there.
He has good IBS and a fairly high GP.

I was always relucatant to try but now I have I'm glad, I own an Arabian Horse cross Quarter Horse and he's great. I will be breeding them soon too.

Forest Queen and GeekGirl1984 -- our team has been having similar trouble trying to create a 25/25/25/25 mix with Canadian as dominant. Despite past successes using the same sire/dam mixtures - the foals kept coming out as PSH....contrary to what that it *should* have been.

A ticket to Contact Us got us diddley -- some mumbo-jumbo about the 25/25/25/25 cross being *random* and that to have one particular breed dominant there must be *more* of that breed in the mixture. Which makes ZERO sense as far as the division of genetics goes...and contradicts what we've been told in the past. default smiley (o) *shrug*. Eventually, using an older stallion (same mix though) with a lower GP, the foal came out Canadian...albeit with a much lower GP than hoped for.

It's interesting though, that this is being experienced with PSH's....perhaps they are a dominant breed?

Anyway..there's more to the story, if either one of you is interested, feel free to pm me or elevenseconds -- it's her project and has resulted in much tearing out of hair and gnashing of teeth..default smiley xd. Oh, and the donning of tin-foil hats...default smiley :p

cheers

I have decided on breeding Newfoundland crosses but I have one paint cross with 18* that I want to sell now. He has lots of stars in speed, dressage and gallop(I think that is right) so maybe he would be a good racer? Anyway his name is Mickey and he is in my other horses tab. Does anybody know what I could sell him for?default smiley *-)
By Retired breeder, 26th April 2010 15:49:19
i really need to find out about crossing my friesy mare... she got two fillies... one is half arabian, one is half hano...none of them born as friesians...but loaded with stars and IBS...

i am selling my half hano-friesian filly... she has 187.69 IBS and 15 stars
true i could wait they grow up and breed them... got kinda impatient there :x
By Retired breeder, 26th April 2010 15:55:01
hmm read back and thats the male's breed that got the last say uh? Regretting i put my filly on sale HA! *slaps forehead*

My gorgeous crossbred is at 166 wins aged 8yrs 4 months.

I am looking to breed her to a 50/50 friesian cross, must be 100 blup.

Ideally i'd like one of the following

friesian x hano
friesian x TB
friesian x standie
friesian x QH

the horse needs to have 745+ GP.....please PM me if you have something that fits the bill!
That....is a horse! lol

Clematis gorgeous foals as always default smiley :-))

Thanks WildNorth that is really helpful default smiley :) So this brings me back to my original idea of a bm item where you could choose the breed of the foal so long as the parents had that breed. Example
Mother is Friesian/Thoroughbred. Father is Mustang/Appaloosa you could choose the domiant breed from those 4 breeds. Do you guys think this would be helpful or would it take the challenge and the fun out of it? I am interested to know what crossbreeders think before I post it and have the purebreeders say we have to many bm items lol

The last foal from my chinco mare before I sell her. I think it's pretty good.default smiley :) Should be a good galloper and barrel racer.default smiley :)

Does anyone have a stallion with stars in ALL categories that is willing to breed to one of my mares?
Pru, I have a couple. Check my Jumbles tab and let me know if any are interesting.
