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.

I havent bred that combo in a long while, I'm sure I could get a much higher GP one now, but this guy turned out pretty decent default smiley ^)

I would go classic and do gallop and probably go alright in trot and maybe XC comps.

In my experience and what I've been told is that the foal will take the sire's 2nd listed breed in even crosses. Here's a few examples:
Gypsy Horse. His parent's were both 50/50s(totally different breeds), but he took the sire's2nd listed breed(since bolted to a mare) which was a Gypsy.

This Connemara's parents were both 25/25/25/25s(of totally different breeds) and it also took the sire's2nd listed breed which was Connemara.

An exception: This Appy foal'sparents are both 25/25/25/25s of the same breeds, though the breeds are listed in a different order. However, she did not take the sire's,Jamie, 2nd listed breed which is Lusitano. I bred a second foalfrom the same parents who also turned out an Appy. The dam, Claire's, last listed breed is Appaloosa. I tested a theory on preprod by bolting both Jamie and Claire, so Claire is now the sire, and Jamie the dam, and the foal came out Peruvian Paso which is Jamie's last listed breed. So perhaps in even crosses that have the same breeds, the foal will take the dam's last listed breed.

The dam's last listed breed also carried through the genetics of a couple of my All Breed project foals. Those particular ones had more than 5 breeds, so some got bumped out, but the dam's last listed breed was kept in the foal's genetics, while the rest were taken from the sire.

Now, if you had a 50% Appy 50% Thoroughbred bred to a 50%Appy 50% Gypsy, then the foal would be an Appy because the Appaloosa is more dominant than the other two breeds.

I would like to try a four way cross. Does anyone have a two way cross mare specialized in stamina (1690+) that I could breed to my Morab?


She's a little shy GP wise in your requested amount for stamina but you're more than welcome to use Magnolia

I've just bred this little Walker filly but aren't quite so sure of what to do with her.
If anyone wants her as a project or brood you're welcome to. She's a good 5 way cross.

I would like her. I have an idea. How much
Oohh, my other mare just popped out this little fella. I'd completely forgotten I'd bred him, much less with Tears.

It'll be interesting to see how he turns out. Thoughts?

A less broken link might help. Sorry. Been almost a year since I've been here.
By Retired breeder, 10th September 2016 23:13:20

HB! Hi! It's been forever since I've been on BUT I bought 7 good mares for breeding and am back in the game. Saving a Hera's for a Vanner/Lusi or Vanner/Standy cross. I think that's what I decided. XD
ooh, let me know how the vanner/standy turns out! Haven't used standy in so long. and yes, it has been so long! I missed you!

I've missed you, too. Will be a while before I get around to the Vanner/Standie. Gotta get my KWPN girl BLUPed (ugh) to breed the KWPN/TW. Then I have to BLUP the Vanner mare. I'll still have a Stang, Paso, Paint, and TB to BLUP after that, too. default smiley :o
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2016 03:47:12
Wow, it has been a long time since I was last on. so much has changed. GP is about 2000 points higher than I last remember. Decided to get back on today and have some fun. Going to be skilling this new cross sometime soon. Not the greatest IBS, but it should still make another fine GV/TB to add to my collection.
tornado!!! Yay another old timer!!!!

ooh, GV/TB's are super fun

Hey, tornado! Did you see the Selle/Lusi cross I treated myself to breeding? Not the best IBS (only 70 BLUPed to get the foal), but I'm relatively happy with the result.
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2016 04:09:09
Great to see you again HB! Your latest comp monster is extremely impressive. I've done quite a few GV/TBs, and I was debating between that and a Crio/Noko, but TB and GV sales gp was much higher. Both are fun western compers.

Great to see you again as well KR, your Selle/Lusi looks like a lot of fun. I have a Vanner already blupped if you'd like to use it for your Vanner/Standie.
I can help out with crio covers. Not #1 team, but about 60 points above sales release
