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.

Edit by pixiesbite

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.

I need two 50/50 stallions of similar skill sets to breed with two of my mares.

Black Ink Revenge - 50/50 Argentinean Criollo/Nokota
Skill set of Stamina - Dressage - Trot

Through the Iris - 50/50 Morgan/Arabian
Skill set of Stamina - Dressage - Jumping
By Retired breeder, 29th September 2016 23:26:51


I don't have anything for Revenge, but I Am Machine's grandsire is speed/dressage/jumping. He is half Mustang, though, so Iris's stamina should easily bring his back up to make up for the KWPN he's crossed with.

Rain - May I call you Rain? Could I request a covering from Machine's grandsire to Iris then? It would be much appreciated.
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 00:10:27


Rain is perfectly fine. Or KR or Rainy. Honestly, I'll answer to just about anything. Will send covering over.
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 00:21:59
Thank you! Now to just wait for her to foal. I need the AP she finds for Machine.
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 00:27:31
Haha. I'm hunting down the AP I need to age Oyster for ya. Sorry it's taking a bit.
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 00:31:22
There you go. Cover sent.
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 00:33:35
It's quite alright, take your time. Iris isn't going anywhere any time soon.

I don't think I ever shared my new favorite cross of mine since I finished him... Here's Hiroto. I don't love his coat, but it was 100 use one so I couldn't pass it up.
If I breed a horse that is 50%thoughbred and 50%qh to a Mare that is Quarter Horse
28.3 %
KWPN
22.6 %
Thoroughbred
21.7 %
Paint Horse
13.7 %
Appaloosa
13.7 %
what would the foal be?

If I'm reading that right it should a Thoroughbred. You've got one horse with 50% TB bred to another horse with 21.7% TB, yes? The Thoroughbred has the highest percentage.

Ah, wait! I didn't see the second horse has 28.3% Quarter horse.
Re-do. You've got a:
50% TB
50% Quarter Horse

bred to a

28.3% Quarter Horse
22.6% KWPN
21.7%Thoroughbred
13.&% Paint
13.7% Appaloosa

You actually have more Quarter Horse percentage(50% QH in horse one and 28.3% in horse two vs. 50% TB from horse one and 21.7% from horse two) So the foal should be a Quarter Horse. I hope I read that correctly this time.

Could someone please remind me how the breed of a foal is determined in a four way cross?
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2016 20:48:16
I really enjoyed breeding and training my best cross so far, Sfogliatella! Names for the Italian dessert, just like his twin, Marscarpone, who hasn't been skilled yet. He's currently first in the rankings for Curly skills, and dominating XC comps.

Thank you RunNRIde25!! default smiley :)

I decided to breed a Selle with a Gypsy I like the way he came out < I hope you guys like this one too
I wonder how a selle X appy would turn out...

Second breed listed on father.

Officially done comping Legend now that public gp for TBs is much higher, and I can't get wins as consistently. Wound up with quite a few wins though, really happy with how he turned out. Now to come up with another cross to potentially skill this weekend.
