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.

Maybe a TW or a Nokota? I'll put in some GPs and get back to you on those.

Complete noob at crossbreeding heredefault smiley :p

what breed of horse would be good to breed with a QH? Something good in trot and Stamina, maybe jumping would be nice.
By Retired breeder, 5th September 2017 21:39:13

Maybe a TW for trot and stamina, Selle/and or KWPN for jumping? KWPN might be better for jumping

Or I have Gallop Standardbred crosses using QH if you want a look at em. Very nice for gallop competitions in breedonly and SJ in general

Depends what your end goal is (comp wise) or if you're just breeding for rankings. If rankings is your goal, breeding to the overall highest GP ranked breed in the desired skill is the way to go and just use a male QH over the other breed.

For competing, I prefer 4 ways to balance out and boost multiple skills better. QH/Stang/Selle/KWPN would be good for jump I believe. A QH/TB/Stang/Criollo should give you a nice Western comper for Reigning, Cutting and Barrels I think.

Yay! New crossie baby! It's been a while....ish. default smiley xd

Bred this little guy the other day. Debating whether or not to go ahead and skill him or wait some me.

Does anyone have a Fri/Lusi or a TB/Fri I can view for referencing?
By Retired breeder, 9th September 2017 14:32:29
I have a Friesian TB if you want to take a look.
I plan on tearing some random crosses this month default smiley xd

This other player and I are breeding Selle Gypsies, which are crossbreed mixes of Selle Francais horses & Gypsy Vanners. Here is a description:
Selle Gypsies are Selle Francais horses crossed with Gypsy Vanners horses. They excel at Jumping, Stamina, Dressage, speed, and gallop. They are great cross country horses, and with bonus jumping skills from the Selle Francais, they can easily defeat Gypsy Vanners with close Genetic Potentials.

Anyway, just wanted to let all the other crossbreeders know about this incredible breed. default smiley :-))

I am currently working on breeding Selle/TB crosses. I am planning on them being 50/50 crosses that will specialize in jumping. Most of my TBs are good at Show Jumping, almost as well as Gallop races so I think they will do well. Please let me know if you have suggestions for breed ideas to also try or if you would like to work along with me.

Any good Selle crosses I should try? I have a Selle/TB planned for next. Many thanks to keepsake for letting me use her QH mare to try a Selle/QH cross.
*bows* Welcome. Now to retire my TB mare somehow lol Think I've got a Crio mare to retire too, but I forget. Yep...I do. Currently have a Lusi/Selle foal coming and am very excited to see what I get default smiley :d

Ooh! Let me know how it goes! (As if I need another cross to add to the never ending list default smiley (lol))
Surprisingly, going back to the Russian Don cross I did a few weeks ago, I've decided to try another, doing a Russian Selle. We'll see how it turns out. I'm hoping that speed will top stamina.
Wiggly!

I wanted to foal her out right away lol

Ooh! Nice one.

I bred two Selle x Appy crosses I really liked
Horse 1
Horse 2

They did really well in Western Pleasure when I Blupped them. They might not be the best example for this particular cross because I think I stopped comping them when I got their wins so I'm not sure how they'd do in classical.

Depends on what you're breeding for.

I tried a Mustang/TB with Bandito15 and you can check the ★мust вε thoяougнвяεds★ affix. I know that there aren't very many horses in there but we are working to improve! default smiley (y)
