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.

Crossed it to a Gypsy Vanner. I'm using a Hera's Pack on this one, so these should be some pretty nice foals!

very nice! I just bred one of my gv mares to a lustiano cross. Hopefully turns out well.

thank you default smiley :)
Anyone to answer me?

I'm thinking of making a high stamina cross. Right now the top female stamina GP is a Criollo, but the jumping is a bit too low for me.

If I were to cross the Criollo with a Vanner, would that bring the jump up enough to make a decent XC horse? I could also cross the Criollo to a Trake, and then cross that baby to a Vanner...

Which route do you guys think would be better?

I don't want to waste any resources...

Starry here's my criollo vanner cross for reference criollo/vanner
I think you linked the wrong horse LilOne as that one has a bunch of different breeds in itdefault smiley (lol)

I plugged in the stats of 2 top GP Gypsy and Criollo for a reference, and the stats for that particular pairing is slightly similar to this cross I bred here, except in a Criollo x Gypsy the stamina and dressage are gonna be through the roof compared to jumping.

The estimated jump GP I had for your cross was 943GP, and since my horse above pretty much dominates open Cross Country comps with a 984 jump GP(1390 skills), I think that would be a nice cross to dominate lower level open cross country comps.default smiley (y)

Okay. So I don't need to add in Trake blood first? That's a relief lol, one less horse to blup default smiley xd

Well, when I did a calculation of a (Criollo x Trake) x Vanner the foal ended up with lower stamina, dressage and jump than the Vanner, and speed and trot were only like 100-200 higher, so it likely wouldn't do too well if you wanted to make the foal Vanner dominant.

Actually, I'll let you look at a Gypsy x Criollo. I just bred it as I liked the cross after I did the calculations XD. The GPs I used are both a little low for the breeds, but it gives a visual for you.

Criollo x Gypsy
and compare that fellow to the horse I linked above
Sonic Silver
leads me to believe it should do well in cross country comps as Sonic wins most every cross country comp I enter him in

Hemlock Grove

Here's that QHxCriollo cross I talked about doing. What are your opinions on him?


He turned out nice! I'd say (if you're going to BLUP him) use cutting comps for skill gains and then finish off wins with reining and WP if you need them, since it's trot and gallop are slightly lower. default smiley (y)

I should have top spot for GV dressage, tomorrow. If I do, I'm keeping them both and giving them GAs. default smiley xd
If no one wants a foal, I'm going to kill off the mare. Just so everyone knows. default smiley :)
