I need a training tip... I have a hano/irish foal for training.. and i just started with trot rides till he training was available and then i started dressage training, What should i do next?

Thanks! I would really appreciate if you PM me.

Your welcome.
By Retired breeder, 21st May 2010 19:59:56
would you say that doing speed and dressage then getting 20 wins is the best way for any crossbreeds?
i'm going to BLUP an arab/tb cross in a few days and want to get it right default smiley :)

Crosses tend to be good in several different things instead of mainly one. Their skills can be more spread out or mainly in one category. It all depends on what you breed for. What I like is the variety. With purebreds you kind of know what the baby will be like but crosses can be so surprising! You think you kow what to expect and then a foal catches you by surprise! Mine do well in almost all comps and I know other cross breeders's just kill every comp they enter! They can aso beat out the purebreds in the rankings. Say you take a breed that has low trot and breed it to a standie. You may just get the #1 trot for that breed!default smiley (a)

Purplespyro-yes I am saying that training speed and dressage and then getting the wins is usually best.

I put my filly with two stars in every category up for sale. I hope she sells but since people want so many HOP's it is hard to sell for even one pass.
Yeah, I know what you mean.

BTW, does anybody mind taking a look at my QP cross in the sales?

Need Advice!! I just got a new mare, Stereo Love, and i want a foal with better gallop and jumping. On top of her skills. What is the best breed to breed with?

¿Stereo L♥ve?
By Retired breeder, 22nd May 2010 03:55:28
FreedomCC, do you want the foal to remain a Standardbred? If not, then you could breed her to a Hano since they have the best jump and some gallop.
By Retired breeder, 22nd May 2010 04:22:08
I'm doing appaloosa crosses... i'm doing them with thorughbreds.. any other suggestions you people have.. i want something with high gallop.. speed & dressage...

I got lucky again with crossbreeding with the use of tears/wand! This time, I used them on my TB and bred to the highest gp paint in public covers. Here is one of the twins that was produced:

TB/Paint cross filly

237ibs! The foal will hit 23* after games too! default smiley (7)
By Retired breeder, 22nd May 2010 06:04:00
NICE filly nikita!
Wolf Luva- I've got a few appendix QH and appendix TB, and maybe I can help you start that up if you do want to start breeding appendix Qhs.
By Retired breeder, 22nd May 2010 06:08:26
Oh, and chickentender, I did something like that with an App cross. [url=http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=9925727]Indian Sunrise/url] is an App/Tb/Paint cross. She is close to 18*, although I could get higher if I used a higher starred Tb/Paint mare of mine, but this foal was kind of an experiment. She is high in speed, dressage, and gallop. Maybe App/Tb/Paint fits your liking?
By Retired breeder, 22nd May 2010 12:24:54
Can anyone tell me what comp this filly would be best at?
Filly
Gallop/X-country/showjumping would work
