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.

A lot of teams will say on their team pages whether they're crossbreed friendly or not.

That one is quite nice! The several I have bred are only higher in two of their genetics rather than 3 like that.

Voyager is my best so far, but I'm in the middle of a current project that should turn out much better since I broke down and scraped up some higher GP horses to use.

@sherwood
Thank you! The coat is either The Black Lady or The Dark Lady. I'm on my phone now so I can't really check. It was from one of the last two releases so if you filter by date you should find it pretty quicklydefault smiley :)

I'd say Speed. I'd think if Dressage was closer, it might work too, but personally...I'd go with Speed.

I would like to get dressage over 2000 but I feel like it would be better "for him" to do speed, so I'm going to go with that.

Okay breed % question alert!!

If i have an equal four way cross (25% in Arab/TB/SF/NF) and i breed to a SF/NF (50% NF/SF), what would the breed percents be? Obviously SF/NF is going to be dom but what are the specific percents for the breeds? Thanks!

You would have to add them and divide by two.

So Arab and TB would be 12.5% (since there is only one number of those, just divide by two). SF and NF would be 37.5%. I believe. I may be wrong on those percentages, but I'm pretty sure that's what it would be. And then I believe the breed would be the one that is listed second on the father (so if the father is SF/NF, the foal would be NF).

Hey guys. I have started breeding pure bred freisans, but Gypsy Vanners probably would of been a better breed to go with because so many people breed the. I love my frezzies anyway, especially Firefly. Dont have any good stallions so I am training one that I got for 500 in a wish list forum in an EC. Should I continue mixing in Gypsy blood? I could use a Gypsy stallion with a Frezzy mare and then breed the foal to the frezzy stallion when it gets older (if it is a girl) and then have higher GP but then it would be a frezzy? What do you think? Should I breed to a different breed?

I want it to be a frezzy. Oh and a frezzy is freisan.

As far as what you "should" do, we probably can't help you much because that's all a matter of opinion. But, to answer your question if you breed a Gypsy to a Friesian, then breed that foal back to the Friesian you will get a Friesian foal (it will be 75% Friesian and 25% Gypsy). The GP could be higher assuming you picked a good stallion (as Gypsies are one of the if not the highest GP Breed on this server), but their skill set isn't the same as a Friesian's so you'd probably lose in trot (but gain in jump).

Another option you could consider would be Tennesse Walkers. They have the same top 3 skills as Friesians, and there are a good number of high GP ones out there because of the demand for the Grand Prix.
