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.

Only Blup and GP of the parents affect the foal, not skills. So you don't need to train the non top 3 skills at all if you don't want to.default smiley :)

My newest project, a Trake x Lipi which started as an experiment but ended up really successful! He'll take #7 Lipi gallop tomorrow at nearly 550 GP below top for the breed. default smiley (b)

Out of curiosity, is there a limit to how many breeds show up under Origins? Like if I just keep crossing with different breeds could I eventually have a foal who's a little bit of everything?

You can have all the light horse and pony breeds in one horse, but only the 5 highest breed percentages will show in the genetics

Hi everyone.

I would like to ask a question with regards to breeding for Classical riding - Showjumping.

I have been trying to breed KWPN's for quite some time now, but am thinking of crossbreeding if that will possibly aid me in producing foals with higher GP, much better skills and a better chance at winning rosette comps.
My horses are in the Favorites KWPN Batch breeding farm.

Is it a viable option to crossbreed for the above mentioned reasons?
And with what breeds should I crossbreed to reach those goals, as well as maximizing Jumping?

Any input is much appreciated.

Of course it's a viable option! A lot of people cross for the very same reasons! default smiley ^)
As far as your best options, you'd be looking for any breed with the same top 3 skills as KWPNs (speed, dressage, and jump) Those are Morgans, Selles, Shetlands, and Australian ponies.
As for rosettes specifically, I know there are a LOT of people who cross KWPN/Selle horses for jump rosettes, as those two breeds have some of the highest GPs in the game.

kwpn dominant kwpn/selle crosses do great in breed only rosette comps. But you'd need access to a pretty high gp kwpn. Not sure how high selle gp is in sales right now, they were pretty close to top awhile ago when they were in the crazy gp race, but I haven't checked in awhile. And kwpn is quite a bit lower than top.

Thank you kindly for your input, it is appreciated.

I will definitely look at the cover offerings for those breeds then. Thanks so much!

I'm looking for some potential crossbreeding partners for a few different breeds. I am primarily working with 4 at the moment:

↪Iberian Warmbloods-- [PSH or Lusi] + [TB or KWPN]
↪Anglo-Arabs-- TB + Arabian
↪Danish Warmbloods-- TB + Trak
↪Walers-- QH + [TB x Trak]

I'm also in the process of starting 4 other projects. 2 of which are other varieties or Warmbloods, and the other 2 are separate breeds.

Please note all of the crossbreds I do are *actual* breeds or are generally accepted as a verified cross in the "real world". None of them are random crosses bred for skills in the rankings. I breed purely for fun but I focus on improving GP as well. Skills are not a concern to me, therefore please don't contact me if you just want to breed for skillers.

If anyone is interested, please let me know!

Also: several of these breeds, such as the Waler, is not bred intentionally on Howrse because they are not well known at all, even rare in the real world. That being said, please don't take my idea of breeding them and run with it, trying to "one-up" my program in a sense. If you want to breed them, please join me instead of going against me. This helps progress faster and alleviates any potential quarrels as well default smiley (l)

Hey could I get some help on a question I have?

When breeding horses that are each equally 50% one breed, and 50% another breed, what breed will the foal be?

Two French Trotter horses that are each 50% French Trotter and 50% Curly are repeatedly producing Curly dominant foals. I am wondering if it is possible for them to produce French Trotter dominant foals, or if for some reason will these two horses continue to only produce Curly dominant foals?

When there is equal percentage parentage, what determines the breed of the foal?

Thank you,
Yuri
I have a Selle Francais mare that I am wanting to breed. I'm weighing up between covering her with a stallion of the same breed or a KWPN stallion.

Just after some advice and thoughts on this default smiley :)

Do you mean two horses that are both 50% one breed and 50% of another?

I am new to this thread and to cross breeding. I am currently trying out a Selle Francais and Gypsy Vanner cross which has produced a decent foal with just over 10k in skills.

Two horses that are equal percentages of the same breed will produce a foal that takes the dam's last listed breed, which sounds like is what's happening with your foals.

Opinion time!

I've been focusing in purebred Lippizan for a bit now. They have done very well in open SJ comps which led me to consider crossing them with either a Selle or KWPN. I was wondering if someone has already tried this cross, and if so, how did it turn out?


Hi! I have a Lippizan (50%), Selle (25%) and PSH (25%) that you can check out. Not exactly what you're interested in breeding but should give you some idea of what you might get!

As Legacy said, you can have all breeds in a horse's lineage, but only the top 5 will show.

Example, my old 'all breed project'. If you go waaaaay back in their lineage, it'll have just about every horse (excludes drafts and donkeys for obvious reasons).

Wow, so happy! I just bred this filly and I'm super proud! Her GP/skills set looks promising! She is a Selle x Lusi cross.
