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.

I found Selle x TB the best for comps, with TB dominant.
Check out Wall Street, only 13 years with 220 wins.

Just finished Fall From Grace!!

It only took me three days default smiley (lol) But every time I wanted to start him I knew I wouldn't have time to finish, so I had to keep putting him off. But not anymore! He'll come up as #1 Trot, #1 Dressage and #4 Gallop for the Fjord ranking. Not too shabby.

Made a custom foal for a friend. Rather interesting how Trot is the highest lowest skill lol instead of stamina.

Now down to 23 cross mares to retire.

Dur dur durs. I meant how Trot is the lowest skill. My brain is fried I guess.

Well, bred another test bred foal.

Test

Considering how stiff Dressage comps and and the layout of the main 3 skills, not sure this is a cross I want to pursue lol It would be one thing to drop say Stamina and Jump some more and improve Gallop and Trot. But I'll have to think on it.

What breeds should I cross to get a good pony in show-jumping?
By Retired breeder, 17th September 2017 20:41:26

I've done a Standardbred/QH cross that has gallop as one of the top 3 and trot as 4th skill. Nice crosses, if you want to try that to get higher gallop and trot.
By Retired breeder, 17th September 2017 20:42:25

Newfoundland dominant/KWPN maybe?

What would be a good show jumping cross with a Shetland pony?

Other breeds with the showjumping skill set are Selles, KWPNs, Morgans, and Austrailian Ponies. So maybe one of those?

Been working on blupping this guy - he's got the highest GP out of my horses under my Desert Sands Crosses affix, and I'm anxious to get some good foals!

I don't want Trot too high which is why I was picking breeds that had Trot as a secondary skill. But I think it's actually the Selle that is messing up my project since Jump is so high. So I think I need maybe a TB/Standi instead. Or a Crio/Standy even.

But this does make me think of a possible Stamins skiller once I BLUP my newest breeders.

@Gatlin
Trot is about 100 less than gallop, and the results are the same with TB/Standardbreds. default smiley ;)
I do have some pretty random crosses. It's going to be interesting to figure out what to do with them when they get to breeding age. default smiley (lol)

Does anyone know of a good Appaloosa dominant cross that would be good in dressage?

I've done a Standardbred/Appy. I'll try to get a link

Tear bred another foal. This kind is my usual breeder so I don't intend to keep him.

Thinking I need to let go of the Selle/Lusi I bred to fund a different breeder female lol Just haven't determined what yet.
My Appaloosa x Thoroughbred cross is still doing well.
Purple Pizzazz still holds the number 1 spots in skills for Apps, as well as number 1 for gallop skills.

And my Shetland x Thoroughbred Blast Off Bronze still holds number 1 for Shetland gallop skills. He's not ranked very well in much else, but I just bred him so I could place a pony GA coat on himdefault smiley (lol)
