[Info] Cross breeders
I have the ACT and a Basketball game on Saturday so most of my stuff will be done on Sunday.

Hey, HB, didja see the new Trake skiller filly? My BP is doing her this time; I'm BLUPing the stally.
|
yes I saw her, she is amazing!!! I love her!
|
Yay! I now have 21 passes! To my filly!
|
My BP said she'd prolly be able to skill her Saturday. I was just so glad that her and the colt's GP turned out almost the same!
Rayday; Have fun!!! |
I am. Hehe... We shall see how she turns out.
|
With all this western talk it makes my want to do a western comp horse. Really wish they had Spanish Mustangs on the game. They are killer at barrels, western pleasure, cutting, and really awsome trail horses.
|
My filly has 4 wins at 3 yrs 6months and has at least 5 comps to run still.

How in the WORLD do you crossbreed?

Am I the only one who find cross breeding self explanatory?
You cross different breeds together. Simple as that. |
You take a female of 1 horse breed and breed it to a male of a different horse breed and that leaves you with a horse that is half 1 breed and half another breed that has characteristics (skill wise) of both, but it will show his "breed" as the fathers breed. You then continue from there to get some very interesting/diverse crosses that are useful to use to specialize a horse such as to breed the horse to rank in their breed or to be very good at one skill/one type of competition.
|
I know best. But some people don't see it quite that easily.

Well, I mean honestly. CROSS breeding. I don't understand how you miss that one lol.
|
Ya well... You could be crossing... um.... unicorns and peguses'... I guess.

my sister [starcather9] says that her mare Last Legend (used to be southerncomfort) is doing good, has blanketed the arab sj comps, and has 3 pages left to run with 15 wins and 2 seconds
we are going to bed now, night we have decided on the 'last' line...aka last legend, last kiss, last minit, last rites, last secret, last song etc |

Lol, no one could be that naive. I would hope
So I really want to do a QP cross. I want something unique though. |
I have 8 more comps waiting to run and I need 4 more wins. Come on! You can do it girl, come on!
|
Now down to 6 comps and I need 2 more wins.
|
Yay! My filly got 21 wins by 4 yrs 6 months! I'm so happy with her!

Ugh, I was hoping to pop out an IH/Mar and GV/Mar by update but this Marwari isn't getting his wins,
I got nothing else to report. I've gotten so lazy that I've all but given up on most of my horses, |

My GV, Argentum Astrum isn't picking wins either... he's got something like 3 wins

I dislike it immensely when the BGs' high GP BLUPpers prevent BLUPpers with lower GP from getting their 20 wins. I'm not talking about a difference of a few points. I'm talking about a difference of over 100 GP. Ridic. Thank goodness for trot comps.
Makes me want to crossbreed a proper Mar skiller to stomp the living daylights out of everyone in breed-only comps. Which I'm almost all set to do once I get a ZLB and take care of 6 pass horses. |
Gah, i'm bad, i still havent finished fantasia. I really need a ec to put my crossie foalie into though so i can get on with my plan for a psh comp monsta!
|
Oh wait, my bad, just realised that i should really re breed as the original foal was born ages ago and i havent done anything with him

Well here's a GV/Mar. I might cross her with a PB Arab to raise the GP or a Lusi to raise dressage/gallop before breeding her to an IH/Mar. I bred one already, but I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to see if there are better IH covers. If not, then I'm definitely breeding the GV girl to either an Arab or a Lusi. Or maybe an Arab/Lusi?
