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.

Edit by pixiesbite

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 crossed my mare with a Quarter Pony and this was the result I actually quite like the foal, if bred with Tears could totally get #1 in the rankingsdefault smiley (l)

Think once my Mars hit 1100 GP (should take maybe 3 more generations) I'm gonna do a four-way cross with Mar as the dominant breed to see if I can hit the board for gallop. So far I have Mar/TB/Quarter/???. Can't figure out which horse to pick for the fourth breed in the mix. Maybe Appy? Need good public covers because I can't deal with rejections by top breeding groups right now.
Fifth ~Possibly Lussi, PSH, or Arabian? I have a pure Lusi stud if you want a coveringdefault smiley ;)

Fifth I'd go with PSH. I've been doing some crosses with them and adore how they come out and they always seem to give good stats in the speed/gallop/dressage . Both of my NIB crosses and my cross to be beat the breed a horse with over 400(something) skills have PSH in them

Irish - My first NIB cross, easily won barrel comps
Flaxen - My Second NIB cross and his daughter, nice skills and with her speed gives her a boost at comps that I use to BLUP
Nightbred her to get past the achevment since my breeding programs are only NIB right now

...excellent, I closed the tab before I post the message.

Basically - Lusis and Arabs would guarantee high GP but Lusis have higher dressage/trot and Arabs have higher stamina/dressage. They'd drop the gallop, which isn't what I want. My only beef with PSH is that the speed is higher than the gallop, but that's why I hae Mars, TBs, and Quarter horses to make up for it. Come to think of it, I have a PSH/Quarter horse filly...

How does the PSH/Quarter horse cross work out Fifth if you don't mind me asking?
By Retired breeder, 9th December 2011 21:12:58
Here's the lovely lady. Paints and PSHs have near identical skill sets, so nothing really changed. I'm not too pleased with the speed/dressage being so obnoxiously high compared to gallop. The two other breeds with high gallop - Trakes and Welshes - give out terrible public covers so I can't use them. I can't go with a simple Mar/TB cross either, because I don't have access to high GP Mars like the #1 Gallop Mar's owner does. Pretty much the only thing going in my favor is that I have a better EC for the horse to skill in, default smiley xd

i have some-what high GPed Peruvian cross-breds and others i am willing to sell!
By Retired breeder, 9th December 2011 21:18:41
Well wouldn't the dressage stat also allow for an easy BLUPer and comp horse making it easier to get skills?
please excuse the amount of questions I've never tried to make the boards before...nor had any horses to get good enough to do it with (c)
By Retired breeder, 9th December 2011 21:30:37
Well the idea is to make gallop the highest skill, so you have to make sure the parents' skill sets don't drag it down. Concertina, one of my first cross-breds since coming back to Howrse off a two-year hiatus, is a TB/Paint cross and while her speed is higher than a PB TB's her gallop is lower. The comps are easier to win, but I wouldn't be able to hit the rankings board with her. Basically I need a horse who has gallop as one of its top two skills. The only breeds with good enough GP available are Mars and TBs, :\

What you you guys think of a Hackney x Welsh? They're strengths and weaknesses would create a good balance I think..?

I have never crossed horses breeds before..

I was also thinking about:
Australian Pony x Welsh
Connemara x Welsh
Hackney x Welsh
Appaloosa x Quarter Horse

What do you guys think?
By Retired breeder, 9th December 2011 22:03:43
Oh that bites Fifth, on another note could I get your opinion on something? I'm trying to figure out if I should breed my mustang(50%)/PSH(25%)/IH(25%) to a marwari or to a fresian or lusi. I'm trying to improve the PSH's skills in the cross(I'll be crossing back to a PSH after two breeds but her dressage stat is too low for my taste but I want to make the gallop better. Her link here
I will skill her tomorrow. She should take the #1 Appaloosa spot.
