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.

Thank you disco default smiley :)
I've seen a lot of people getting covers from breeding teams so they can improve their stock, but how do you find teams willing to give coverings? default smiley :s I've been searching down the best teams list but sort of getting no where!

I'm thinking about now breeding my best mare to a Nokota http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=46044940
and then again afterwards to this Knab which is the only Knab covering I can find with GP as high as his offering a covering http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=48141372
and then I'm planning on breeding the Nokota cross and Knab together so the offspring will be Knab and HOPEFULLY have higher skills and GP. Does that sound about right to everyone haha?

AHS appies gives covers to horses that are not appies and do not have speed as their top skill

Ƙαмρισєη Jυмρєяѕ™ gives covers to non KWPNs

I want to cover my QH mare one more time but I'm having a hard time deciding on what to cross her with. Considering trying to make a gallop or XC skiller. And ideas?

Well perhaps for an XC you could cross with a Gypsy Vanner? That's just what I was thinking though, I was having a little look at what horse is best at what, and GV's excel in Dressage and Stamina.
I guess for a gallop skiller you'd need TB??

Hi. Does anyone have a list of the teams that offer covers to cross breeders? I know I saw it posted here before but I can't find it. I would appreciate it!

UnionRags123 gave me a shortlist

AHS appies gives covers to horses that are not appies and do not have speed as their top skill

Ƙαмρισєη Jυмρєяѕ™ gives covers to non KWPNs

What about a QH/Shagya cross. Who do you guys think that mix would fair in comps?
By Retired breeder, 27th June 2016 20:26:30


If you make it Shagya dominant, you get a SA with a decent speed and dressage, which might do well in breed only comps, but there aren't an awful lot of comps for them.

This is a very broad question, I suggest you start by thinking what kind of horse you would like to breed and for what kind of competitions, it's much easier to give suggestion for more specific questions.
7th Ave. Gypsy Vanner team is cross friendly. And we do have a rosette winning stud who can offer covers.

I noticed something...there's not very many people breeding Haffies. I have a TB mare I had planned to breed to every breed. All that's left is a Haffy but the studs are all so low in GP. Food for thought...

There are a couple breeds with even lower GP than Halflingers, which is unfortunate as some of the lower GP breeds actually have nicely proportioned skill sets that would make for some good crosses if their GP were higherdefault smiley :s

Just thought I'd post here to be helpful, I love breeding KWPN crosses and for something different I recently had a go with some pures... they were selling like hot cakes but the market has literally died in the last couple of days! So if any of my fellow cross breeders wants a pure KWPN foal with gp around 6520-40, I've almost finished my biennial howrse splurge lol, and am out of decent bmi so they are only going to go to waste... Just let me know and you can have one (as long as you actually use it...), I'd rather they had a purpose than sat and became outdated default smiley :)

Nice work!

I love the coat/bg combo, too.
I used the same coat on my Western Pleasure Lusitano cross, calling her Pretender since there's no Fjord in her, but I wanted to claim a copy of hat coat before it's gone. default smiley (lol)


You too! I really like that cross!

Pff I was antsy all day yesterday waiting for a top Fjord cover, but luckily I got it in time default smiley xd I just love Bughs coats... default smiley (l)default smiley (7)

Very nice, starry!
Almost there!!
I'm not going to get wins with her because I've never trained with a timer before so I went over rookie max. default smiley :s default smiley :s oh well..
Now, once she is done, should I use a TB cover or an Appy cover?
