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 just returned to Howrse a couple weeks ago, after a hiatus of maybe 5-6 years.

I'm working on Thoroughbred/Appaloosa crosses right now. I want to keep the Thoroughbreds as the dominant breed, but I'm adding a bit of Appaloosa ancestry to maximize the speed/dressage skills.

I trained a couple of solid mares, Kanami and Akari.

Once I finish BLUPPing their foals, Koji and Chiaki, I hope that they produce some strong competitors in gallop competitions.

I also returned to this game after a maybe 5-6 year hiatus. I'm working on Thoroughbred/Appaloosa crosses. I want the crosses to be mainly Thoroughbreds, but hopefully the Appaloosa genetics help maximize their skill sets.

I'm working on Chiaki and Koji, two foals from my prize Thoroughbred mares. default smiley (l) Once I finish BLUPPing them, I hope Chiaki and Koji produce some strong competitors in gallop competitions. default smiley (l)

Those foals look great! I love tb/appy crosses. I had a really nice appy mare, but I sold her after training/breeding… I’m definitely wishing I had kept her lol.

How are everyone’s projects going? I recently bred a nice mustang x criollo that does very well in barrels! He has been able to win 10 rosettes, so I’m pleased with him default smiley :)

I’m trying to figure out my next 4 way Irish hunter, but the criollo crosses are super fun!

Look Ma, your crossbred rosette winner, is a really nice horse!

I ended up spending a lot of my time (and aging points) on BLUPPing a Thoroughbred stallion for the apprentice breeder objectives. But so I haven't had time to really test out my Thoroughbred Appy crosses, Sakura and Chiaki. I consider my Thoroughbred mares, Kanami and Akari, to be my top horses in my stable. So I have high hopes for their Appaloosa cross daughters. If Chiaki and Sakura take after their dams, I might have a couple of solid gallop competitors on my hands. default smiley (l)

Thoroughbreds are generally the mix of choice, and create wonderful gallop comp horses.
This is Pensacola, my new TBxAppy cross. Over 100 rosettes!

Thank you PacificStarbird! He’s been a super fun 4-way cross, and one I’ll definitely create again default smiley :)

What breed is best to cross with Trakehners?
Actually just got a new TB+Appy cross so super happy other players have done well with them. I focus mainly on my teams, so don't have much time for crosses but I *did* just breed a new TB+Knabb cross, so curios to see how she does. I just mixed the two because they are my two team's breeds, and the two breeds are my passion on here. Anyone bred a TB+Knabb before? default smiley :d

I’m creating a competition string with one horse for each discipline, and I’d love to see a successful trot cross!

I’m starting to plan it out, but I’m having trouble deciding on what breeds to use default smiley :)

I finished getting the 20 wins for Sakura, one of my TB/Appy crosses! All I have to do is to finish Bolding her skills and I'll be finished with her! Hopefully she and her foals do well in gallop competitions. default smiley (l)

I got the 20 wins with Sakura! And she gave birth to a couple of new fillies, Kaede and Akane.

Would it be possible to post another link? This one seems to be expired.
