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.

Opinions on my paso cross? Using her for breeding so not fussed on hard core skilling her.
Wow over 1100 in almost every skill! That's impressive! The GP and Stam are great, good job!

Thank you!! default smiley :)
Any ideas on what breed might be good to cross with a Vanner? I have my mare here I've been using a lot for breeding, but I can't seem to get any wins in comps no matter what I do. I've been thinking of crossing to get the line's stamina up.

For the wins trot comps are probably your best bet. Just be picky about which comps you enter.

As for breeding, I have bred my Gypsy a few times now but my favorite is this one.

Shetland dominant, but should be pretty good in shetland only comps.

I also had a Don that had pretty nice GP stats out of her.

I'm new to crossbreeding so I don't know much but I have a GV mare that I'd like to breed to make a nice cross country comp. winner, what's a good breed to cross her with?
By Retired breeder, 27th November 2016 02:52:43
I recently bought a Gypsy/Selle cross who's top 3 are stamina dressage and jumping, with some nice speed and gallop to back it up default smiley (y) The link to the hore is a few posts up on this page.

So... I went on a breeding spree to get some stuff to create some reining crosses once they're BLUPed. Here is everything I have to do reining crosses.

White Wedding - Mar/Gypsy
Alone Together - QH/Lip
WhereDidThePartyGo? - QH/Gypsy
Asa Fox - Gypsy/TB
Alpha And Omega - TB/Gypsy/Lip
Electroheart - TB/Mar
White Rabbit - Lip/TB
OK can someone show me how to figure out if a horse will make the leaderboards? I have this colt

but I'm not sure what goes into figuring out what his final skills will be. Can anyone help?

Really nice crosses KR. I really like how nicely the skillset of the TB/Gypsy/Lip turned out.

Broke 1000 trot wins with Memory! Officially the winningest cross I've ever done. So happy with how he turned out.

Total skills=GP+IBS+Foal games+lessons
correct foal games =60 skills or 10 points per skill. Total lessons is 178.5 (fully cloud, WoY and 60e EC) which is 89.25 for each of the top 2 skills.

Then compare your horse's individual skills to the skills-all board of that horse's breed. Looks like he'll make top 13 in jump for PSH, not including foal games or lesson gain

Alpha is the best so far, for sure. I did some quick calculations of crossing some of these to each other and crossing Electroheart to Party will beat Alpha's gallop ratio and will have the proper reining skillset as well. Lots of BLUPing to do.

Hello! I tried to long into my old Horse account I had for over 5 years but it hasn't been active for awhile so it got deleted :/

So this is my new one (trying to get used to the format)! I gotta get back into curly crosses again. I was wondering if anyone bred them and would update me on what's going on? New breeds to cross them with possibly. Right now I've got Lusitanos going and will most likely cross them with a breed but I haven't decided yet.

Nice to see everyone again!
By Retired breeder, 28th November 2016 00:40:52
Looking forward to seeing how they turn out KR. Did some work with the reining skillset a long time ago, but it wound up just leading to an obsession with TB/GVs.
By Retired breeder, 28th November 2016 00:47:50


Hahaha. Sounds like my Walker/KWPN trail obsession. I have a lower GP TB/Gypsy, but with TB and Gypsy GP both being higher, I felt the need to breed a new one, hence having Asa. Now I might start a line of them. (Please convince me this is a bad idea. I already have so many projects.)
By Retired breeder, 28th November 2016 01:05:48
But TB/GVs are so much fun! default smiley :p What other projects are you working on, besides the reining horses?
By Retired breeder, 28th November 2016 01:06:56
What would be good to cross with a Lusitano? On my old account I did curlies but I'm open to other breeds on this account (old one got deleted).

Both stallion and mare I bought have high GP and blupped. So they are ready lol.


Thank you! It looked by GP stats that he would be #1 in Dressage but I guess IBS is what killed me on that one. Thanks for that though, now I will have a better idea of where they will end up.
