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.

Hi,

I know that if you breed two purebred horses together of different breeds you'll get the breed of the father. What if you breed two crossbred horses together, each being 50% breed X and 50% breed Y. They are both of breed X themselves. Will the foal always be of breed X as well or will it be 50/50 chance of either breed?

Thanks!

It will take whatever the second breed listed on the mare's genetics tabs is.
By Retired breeder, 5th January 2017 17:23:39


Oh my gosh. I've been so busy that I forgot that and sold the mare. However, I can Bolt my Appy NDBH stud for you to get a foal out of, and I'll just Bolt him back after.
By Retired breeder, 5th January 2017 17:23:41
Okay, let's say they are both Friesians who are 50% Arabian. (Arabian mothers).

Here's a better explanation using those breeds (first being the father, second being the mother). All caps is the dominant breed.

FRIESIAN/Arab x FRIESIAN/Arab - will produce Arabian foals
FRIESIAN/Arab x Friesian/ARAB - will produce Arabian foals
ARAB/Friesian x Arab/FRIESIAN - will produce Friesian foals
ARAB/Friesian x ARAB/Friesian - will produce Friesian foals

Could you cross her to an Appy and/or a Friesian for me, please?

Bolting him for tomorrow would be appreciated. I can give a pass back for it if you'd like.

Just wondering if anyone has ideas at which competitions she'd be good at?? can't decide to go classical or western with her.

Personally I always go classical but she looks like she could be good at some lower level XC comps because her skills are low she'd stay in Rookie comps (while blupping) if you keep her any one skill below 950.

Think I'm in love with Wari XC crosses...
Had so much success with this old boy that I decided to breed Golem , who has already won every comp that's run (at time of posting)

Does anyone know if the top two Nokota teams are cross-friendly?
By Retired breeder, 6th January 2017 01:30:18


Ingenuity does offer covers but not above sales release. Their current release is 6270.
By Retired breeder, 6th January 2017 04:28:49
Thoughts on this? I was trying to improve the speed but I think I just generally dislike the way this cutting project is going.

Anyone want a cover from him? I'm using him to make like a french saddle pony of sorts with a mare I have.

Hmm, just a quick experiment with my rather shiny Gypsy mare and the best stud on the public market resulted in Dynamic Duo.

I might have a fancy list of breed skills and competition requirements in my forum, but I can't decide on the competition he would best suit, and whether the skill range is suitable or whether he'd be consistently 4th and 5th, just like the mare's first foal.
By Retired breeder, 6th January 2017 07:16:38


I would suggest Reining may be the best way to go.
If you look in my forum, I have a list of the competition requirements.
As she has low Gallop, but higher Stamina and Dressage, you can beat the system by being eligible for low-skill comps, but having the secondary and tertiary skills boosting the average.

You can switch between Disciplines until the age of 5, so try Reining and if that doesn't suit, enter her in about 3 or 4 of each competition and you will soon see what her best average results are. Enter more if possible, but make sure you know definitely before the age of 5!
By Retired breeder, 6th January 2017 07:21:47


I know my above suggestion was already for Reining, but I also think the same for your little guy. If you're disliking the Cutting project, I suggest quitting while you're ahead so to speak.
I know once I go downhill on a project there's no recovering!

Or, try Showjumping to really mix it up. Either of those I think maybe would suit.

Hello!
I've never done the whole cross breeding thing and was wondering where a good place to start would be. Would it be smart of me to take my highest GP purebred and breed it with the highest GP purebred in the sales a few times, then just begin with pair breeding, or what?
By I4Horses, 6th January 2017 11:11:59


It completely depends on what your goals are, if you want a highly skilled cross horse then yes, maybe that would be a good way to start however some people crossbreed in order to improve/decrease a certain skill of the breed, for instance a Gypsy x KWPN will heavily increase the KWPN's Stamina and may mean it excels in that in competition. It really depends on what you're after
