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.

nope no reason given as to why she was removed. She may have requested it or she may have been taken off cause of other reasons.

Whoa...dead forum...


Anyway, thanks to Xellos' awesomeness I now have my next two Fjords all lined up. I think I'll do the Fjord/Lusi/Fry/TB first to try to make 2000 skills then top the trot boards with the Fjord/Lusi/Fry/Standie. Oh how I love having things ready.

I should probably work on gathering items..eh, that can wait. default smiley (lol)
It is 1:30am. default smiley (lol)
I should go to bed...but I need to gaze upon my Tra-- *head falls on keyboard and begins snoring*

censurer This message has been censored since it does not follow the forum rules.
I'm awake now! default smiley :p

I really wanna do a pony cross. That's not possible with the Trakes at the moment, but I may be getting a job this summer (because my truck gets 10 miles to the gallon <.< Gas guzzler!) and that should supply some passes and enough to do a little side cross! It doesn't really matter what pony. I just need an excuse to use this one pony GA I really like. default smiley (lol) I had the thought of maybe a gelded QP from bestfriends. But I'll see how things pan out when it's closer to that time. default smiley :-)) Until then everything is going into the Trakes.

Wow, this forum's been dead for the past thirteen hours. I should know 'cause that's how long I slept last night. default smiley ^)


Anyway, I'm going to finish BLUPing that TB/Fry mare today and maybe get around to breeding my new Fjord cross. I was offered 15-20 passes for Rocky. I don't want to sell him but it's too good of an offer to pass up. On the upside I'd have enough passes for two more crosses, on the downside I'd have to sell Rocky. I'll see how the foal turns out. Maybe that'll help me decide.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering...what's a good trotting horse breed? I want to try crossing one with one of my Anglos. Thanks for any advice.
loveishome; Standardbreds, Friesians, and Lusitanos are good trotters.

Hmm. Maybe a gelded Fjord? Oh, I have plenty of time to decide on my pony. ^^

Thanks Twilight, I've never worked with trotters before. Thought I'd try something new. default smiley :)
loveishome; No problem. default smiley (y) I have done Standie/Hano crosses in the past and loved them. Frys and Lusis also tend to be in my Trakes. New is fun and whacky on the genetics. Lol

In all of my time on howrse, I've mainly worked with TBs and Arabs. I had a couple of chinco ponies and some paints for awhile, all pures. I've gotten bored with pures...sort of felt like the same thing over and over with them.
Crosses are a lot of fun. default smiley (y) The very beginning of my game was working with PBs, but it did not last too long. default smiley (lol) Now I breed the #1 Trakehners and so many of my amazon's cross friends are obsessive over them.
I never really messed with TBs or Arabs, don't know what to suggest too much. I see a lot of them being crossed with GVs or TB/Arabs themselves. I was into the Standies and Hanos.
Anywho, I think you'll find a lot of fun in crossbreeding. default smiley ;)

I don't know much about the Trakehners but congrats on making #1 default smiley :) Here's one of my TB/Arab crosses...if you care to look. I've really just started out with crossbreeding and I've been caring more about skills than GP. I might try Standardbreds as one of the breeds you suggested to cross with.

Skyflower 
*amazing cross friends. My auto correct has a mind of its own...
And thank you! They've become a full time project, haha. Lol

I like her; nice skills! Despite the outdated GP, she's quite lovely, especially for you just starting out with crosses. default smiley (y)
Standie GP covers are lower from what I have heard, but that is somewhat where us crossbreeders come in. default smiley (lol) I haven't check, but I think Fry and Lusi are higher.

Fry and Lusi's are definitely higher. Standie GP is currently in the 1470's but their highest public cover is 1392. I managed to get a 1444 GP Lusi cover on my Fjord mare last night for about 4000e cheaper than the highest Standie public cover.

I'm really hoping I have enough AP's to BLUP both my breeders. Currently have 120. That better be enough! default smiley :o
Mess; if not, you'll be *very* close! It's so annoying when you only need *one* more! default smiley xd
