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.

Aaand the covering that I wanted is gone. *Cries.*

*pats back* I feel your pain. I hate when that happens. Especially when said covering was 500GP higher than the next best in coversdefault smiley (m)

It was only 3 or so GP higher, but it would have likely brought me to 6,500 GP. Oh, well.

Welcoming

Bluebell,

and Bottlebrush

to my affix. I'll probably BLUP Bluebell and Bottlebrush at some point. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see. default smiley :)
lol bibbs, I meant just that. I don't cross for rankings or anything, so when I say more crossed crosses, I mean those with more than 2 breeds, or who have been sitting a while. I only work 8 at a time and when they're all blupped/bolded and moved to their breeding tab, I start another 8. But when I retire the TB mare, it's less crosses born and more I can get to work on...in a way default smiley :d

*yawns* It's been a very weird day...

Can anyone direct me to a list of cross friendly teams? I'm pretty sure it was in someone's forum but I don't remember who. It'd be greatly appreciated!

Very happy with how she turned out! default smiley :-))

Cherry Blossom (F)
Always Above ranked 2nd Marwari jumping, 4th MW dressage, 5th MW trot and 9th MW speed.
Dilligas ranked 13th overall PSH, 1st PSH jumping, 4th PSH dressage and 8th PSH trot.
Who is in Control? ranked 2nd PP jumping and 3rd PP dressage.

My achievements for July so far! I have 8000+ skill crosses for PSH, Paso, Appaloosa & Marwari. I'm actually really enjoying producing Marwaris but feel like I have too many... agh.

Also my Spanish Horse Stallion Dilligas has 2065 dressage and i was pretty proud of that

*Drools* Very nice! That's a cross I never would have thought to do. Interesting you bred a reiner as that what I worked on yesterday too!(though a different cross). I'll wait to post him until tomorrow as I want to see how he does in the Grand Prix. I'm hoping for a top 200 but we'll see.

Think I'm done blupping for awhile. I think I did 5 blups in less than a week and that's a lot for me. I don't know how the top players do it every week, so hats off to them. Last night was painful doing all those lessons, especially with a WoY and then my computer started lagging. I'd rather work my pass farm twice in one day. Least I'm not staring at the same horse for an hour, pretty as he is....

Thank you!




It's my favorite type of cross! They are good at a lot of different comps!


In other news, I'm 4th in the 'Number of competitions won yesterday' ranking,
23rd in overall popularity for horses,
99th in the GV 'The elite' skills ranking,
1st in GV dressage ranking,
1st in GV trot ranking,
and 4th in GV popularity ranking.

I want to go back to cross training and looking for all of your success can't wait to buy the first cross after this long time.
Any idea how one might go about BLUPing this fella? Normally when I cross it is quite easy to see what comps will work well with the combined breeds but in this case, the top three skills are the same as an AC (the breed it is), just lower than normal, so I can't really get wins in breed only categories like I normally do with crosses.

Thanks!

I just got one
http://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=48685303&message=vieillissement
It will be good at cross-county i think
it will take for me a month but i think this will be worth the long workdefault smiley (7)
So on a very tired whim earlier I crossed a KWPN with an Arab, had doubts when it was a foal however I've got some aging points and now it's 5 it's looking quite successful.. Stamina has been dumped out of the top three, meaning I could keep the skill low & train up dressage and jumping. Shame it didn't make it to 2k dressage skills but when the rankings update it should have the best Arab jumping skills.

You might want to try barrels even though his gallop is a little low or possibly cutting?
