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.

Update on my Fri mare cross. We are at 409 xc wins. This is super difficult because she only wins breed only comps

Christmas Globe is a direct cross, Shetland dominant.

I also have Geranium Lake and her papa, Red, who are more diluted with other breeds.

Geranium was the only one I seriously comped, but I haven't worked her for awhile.

Hey all! Coming back from a short hiatus after having my baby boy default smiley (l)

I've been working on my Marwari crosses and love them, but I was wanting to branch out a little more. What are some good/easy crosses to comp? I have access to passes, but prefer not to use them.

I'm working on some Paint dominant TB crosses, but was curious about what you all have had good luck with. default smiley ^)
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2018 01:44:53
Hi!default smiley ^) I just wondering a thing. Does anyone here have a crossbred horse that have won some rosettes in barrel race recently?default smiley :)
By amylinn(:, 31st January 2018 13:30:02


I have a couple of older crosses you can take a look at (some will be blupped, some won't) to see if there is any crosses you like. As you can probably tell, I like Selle crosses haha.

TB/Lusi
Selle/Lusi
Trake/GV (Trakes are nice crosses, by the way)
Appy/GV
Chino/GV
Arab/Selle
Paint/Selle
Crio/Selle
Trake/Selle
Marwari/Lusi
Arab/Hano (I might recreate this one. I liked her)

How would a paint/selle cross look? Would it be stronger in jump? anyone have an example of a recent skiller mixed with these?

If no one has a high GP example of that cross, what you could do is go through the sales, covers or your breeding farms and pick out the stallion and mare you'd like to use. The foal takes half of each genetic from each parent, so if you're looking at jump skill in particular you'll want to take the average of the parent's jump skills.

For example, if you were to breed the top Selle with the top Paint horse, you'd add their jump GPs together, then divide by 2. Your foal would have a jump GP of roughly 1922, which would be pretty good if the foal were Paint dominant entering in breed only show jumping comps. That doesn't take into account the random factor, or the gain, but it still gives you a pretty close idea

Here's an example: Paint/Selle

I quite like them. I have another example in my blupped tab I believe. The one above isn't recent, but it gives you an idea.

My apologies for the double posting - but is there a cross whose trot and gallop are high, but dressage is low?
By Retired breeder, 5th February 2018 12:56:18
Is it better to have GV or Arab dominant in a GVxArab cross?
By AVH Lover, 5th February 2018 17:40:17


Due to the recent popularity of GV, I would say Arab would be best as dominant.

These crosses dominate in breed only Jump comps. In fact, amylinn's example above if one I breed last year. Appy/Selles are great as well. In my breeding tab, Project Dirty, I have a more recent Paint/Selle filly and an older cross you could look at.



Okay all, I need some help. If I wanted to breed a 5 way and come out with 20% of each breed, how might I go about doing so? And if I wanted a particular breed to be dominate, how would that work? I've never done a 5 way before..
By Legacy Ann, 6th February 2018 15:13:54

They're might be an easier way to do this, but a 20% 5-way I have was born from two 4-ways. Since the parents had different listed breeds from each other in their genetics the foal took the father's second listed breed. If you want the dominant breed to be Paint, or whatever, make sure the sire's second listed breed is Paint.

The 5way
Father
Mother

Here is another 5-way that followed the same blueprint

Thank you, Legacy.

Okay, so my project is to breed an Appy/Paint/Walker/Mustang/Morgan. I would prefer a Mustang dominant 5way. I have a Paint mare already so does anyone have a stallion of the other breeds I could use?

Looking to start cross breeding selle Français’, what would people recommend for Grand Prix placings and rosettes?

I have this guy I could finish blupping for you. I don't know how high you want the GP. I also have a Mustang mare I can bolt and finish blupping. This is her. She has relatively high GP (sort of, but higher than my Walker).

If I have a Gypsy Vanner/Arabian cross that is 75% Arabian and a GV/Arabian cross that is 50/50 what part Arabian would the foal be? I know I should be able to figure this out but I am just getting into cross breeding so any suggestions?
By amylinn(:, 8th February 2018 21:22:30

It will be 62.5 Arab and 37.5 GV. All you do is add the two numbers together (arab with arab and GV with GV) and then divide by 2. It will give you the percentage for both.
