How would you work out the amount of GP and stars the foal would get? GeekGirl1984 had a great post...is that to work out the IBS or the total skill after bolding that skill? It would be very helpful if someone would explain it quickly to me.
Thanks

Hey all ^^ Not realy sure if I count as a "cross breeder" I bred my own 50/50 Hanno/Arab (Hanno on Top) Just for the fun of it. I just got him to 100 BLUP with all skills bolded. Hes nothing super, but Im a proud mom HR Puf N Stuf

Im just playing around with some different breeding programs, some NIB's and this caught my eye. Not sure where to start tho? Any suggestions??

Oooops.Here he is

GeekGirl, you've hit upon the most crucial element of calculating skills -

Parent A skill + Parent B Skill, divided by 2

... with a "mystery variance" dependent upon total GP. The higher the GP is, unfortunately, the more likely it is that your variance will be negative (I have seen it up to 4% but it may go even higher). So it's easy to make good GP gains when you're starting out, but gets exponentially more difficult as you reach Elite status with any given breed.

It used to be that the more dominant skills actually went up a wee bit more than the others, but that has since been ironed out so that all skills essentially go up or down equally.

DressageGirly-I like him. I wanted to buy/breed a cross like that but with arab showing, either way it will be a nice XC horse.

hOrsElUvEr95 - Thanks! I enjoy him. Now I just need to stone him before he gets all oldy-moldy on me

DressageGirl - he's nice. LOL, oldy moldy.

This is my first generation cross, the 2 gen. are coming soon <3

Falling Terror

Very nice megawifey.

Definately nice!

First generation of my project

I picked this nice little Appy mare up for 2000 equus!I may use for crossbreeding

in this pair, both are crosses. . . .one is a 5 way with Paint being 37.5% and the rest are random. The mare is 50/50. BUT both of them have only skills in 3 areas, and that is what I was after. I don't want something with one or two stars in other areas, and both of them, are 1.Paints, 2. 16 stars equally divided in only 3 areas, speed, dressage and gallop. So i was hoping I was putting the best of a cross to the best of a cross. . . . .

hOrsElUvEr95, in my "Other Horses" today I found an Irish X Arab that is 19 stars in only Dressage and Stamina with only a few stars in Jumping & Gallop, no stars in other areas.

What will he be good at?
Hope

can't really tell right now kitsune45. i have 2 purebred irish hunters. they have just about the same amount of skills. the odd thing is though, one is better at show jumping and the other is better at cross country. when your foal gets older just put him in a few of each comp and see how he places. don't forget to try putting him in comps reserved for his breed and for all horses. good luck!



I've been thinking of cross breeding and getting a good comp horse? what crosses do you find works best for each comp?

I just did a little experiment with my 6 skiller QH and the result was a 6 skiller colt with at least 2* in each skill Possibly the first double* 6 skiller QH? Shame I didn't have tears to use

Colt

Amazing, Oz!

Thanks beach

Is mine ok i just need to know what comps he will be good at so i can tranine him

I unfortunately have never crossbred a horse before, at least not since I seriously began to breed. I used to crossbreed at the beginning of my game, some Welsh Quarter Horse crosses. I bred a couple of 1*.

Are you thinking of going into it?

This topic has inspired me to! I have bought a Thoroughbred mare with stars in speed and gallop, and I am going to be breeding horses with stars in all skills now. I have made my own affix and breeding farm. The line is called "≈Shøø†ing S†år Çrøssbre∂s". Please feel free to message me with any tips on crossbreeding!

I just bred a foal from an Irish Hunter stallion and Thoroughbred mare!

Stamina-1 star
Dressage-3 stars
Gallop-3 stars

I really like the way she turned out! I am going to now get a Hanoverian to add some jumping stars now.

yeah totally I'm going to crossbreed my arabian filly with my Quarter Horse stallion btw can you inbreed? I have a stallion that would compliment her pedigree, but it's her SIRE!!!!!!!!!

They're just pixels, so its ok to inbreed if you want to. Some people don't like to, but its up to you.
