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.

Does anyone have any good TB crosses that they would like to share? I'm interested in seeing some of those! default smiley :ddefault smiley (y)

I kept seeing another player post about Appy x TB crosses, and while I had bred a couple with lower GP for other projects, I finally got my act together to breed my baby heredefault smiley (l)
Purple Pizzazz

A month later and he's still winning some rosettes for me. It's a good cross because while they have the same skill set, you're getting the high speed from the Appy side and high gallop from the TB.

Yes, I use Shetland x Arabian mares and breed them to Appaloosas to make my PoA's. I decided to do this based on the history of the breed.

The first foundation stallion, Black Hand (Iowa, 1954), was actually born out of an Arabian /Appaloosa mare and sired by a Shetland. However, due to color mechanics on Howrse, I wanted Appaloosa to be the dominant breed, so I've switched it around some. In any case, Arabian blood is permissable in PoA's, along with Quarter Horse and Welsh.

@ Fiv- Totally did not know that. I just knew that it had appy and shetland in it. In that case, I'll take a cover. Don't send any yet. Black Hand isn't ready to be covered yet.

@ Bob- Curiosity is still filly. I haven't done anything with her yet.

It's been awhile since I've done crossbreeding but looking to get back into it. I took Eagle Spirit's advice and now have a KnabxMustang cross to work on western comps with. What breeds would you cross that would do well winning rosettes for western comps? I'm also looking for interesting cross ideas since I'm not sure which direction I want to go. On my old account I did really well with curly crossbreeding but I want to do something new. Thank you!


I have gotten up until a 32-way but then I gave up lol.


HB, I miss you too!! I haven't really played in a long time, I just log on to put this guy in the competitions. Which, if I may brag, has gotten him to #2 Competitions wins in Trail!! I just need to get him to ~11k wins to be #1 lol. That might take a while, but I am hopeful!default smiley :-))

default smiley (lol) I think I'm going to grab one of my horse encylopeidas and figure out what breeds out of there I could make on here.

I've already got a Morab (Male), Anglo-Arab (female), a pony of Americas (female), and my version of a western stock horse (2 females and a male).
