My stallion Billionaire is getting his wins now,he has a tatol of 16default smiley ^)
He's nice, itunes!

His stats remind me - I have looked in the public stud offerings and cannot find what I need. Does anyone here have a stud with at least the following GP bases?:

sta 75 gal 80
spd 114 trt 120
dre (any) jum 114


If you have a stud of any breed that has at least these skills (bare GP only!), please let me know - I am in dire need of a cover!

I used to breed hardcore horses but "whenever I go straight everyone keeps leaving me" Quote by my friend a summer or two ago before he moved to Nevada. In other words my breeding partners leave so then I leave and ever since I try to be solo but sales suck these days you will spend like 13+ passes on a horse and barely sell it for 4-5 passes unless you're a very popular player who mega ahead of the game.
My next BLUP project - Falguni!

Her papa is Lord of Nerves, my second-ranked Marwari Elite. With her Games boost, I am thinking she may top her daddy when she grows up...!

I am debating on wether I should put out coverings from ImaZipYaChick. He is the first all star QH to wear my affixdefault smiley :-))
If you want to capitalize on him, Lynn, I'd say go for it. If you want to keep his gene pool all to yourself, reserve him til you have improved his line somewhat and then release a few at a time.

anybody here?

Very nice colt Barabar. He could produce some great foals. Maybe even an all star baby?default smiley *-)

I would try him with a standie mare sometime. That would bring up the trot.

Wow, these crosses are amazing! default smiley :o

I have a little crossbreeding project called vegetable soup, I normally breed random crosses for fun, not caring about the outcome. default smiley (lol) But I've decided to try and get a good foal with one breeding, I'm going to use a Hera's pack on it. I have a 782 GP IH mare, I'm thinking of crossing her to an Arab stally, will the resulting foal be any good? Would any other breeds work well? Thanks for any help. default smiley :d

I'm hard at work on my Sweet Sixteens (even mixes of 16 breeds). I'm working on bringing the first (poorly bred) set up in GP and I'm proud that I've finally reached 419 with this little gal.

Ruby Tuesday

I hope my link works...

I'm sure it will be while before they are starred, but I'm patient. I'm still wondering about the Standies being the showing breed, though. It seems odd to me.

I'm also working on a second line for the Sweet Sixteens that will be better bred from trained parents, so I'm hoping for some good results from that!

I forgot to state that she was a "test" horse to see what breed would show in that generation, so she doesn't have any IBS. Some of the 418s actually do.

FINALLY
They introduced a pony to howrse that is good at trot! They haven't had one for a long time and now their finally is a purebred pony to help with crossing ponies, trotwise.

Hi!
I am a on/off crossbreeder. I'm currently focussing on my NIBs, but I have a Hanoverian-Canadian-RDH-(IH?) crossbred project that I plan to return to soon..eventually.

Thing is now they changed GP that each breed can't gain GP above certain proportions (i.e. can't breed a Hano with 90 GP trot, they get jammed back in apperently) I am not sure if it is worth it anymore.
(I was planning to breed Canadians with high Jump to get advantage in X-country)

I was wondering how is that GP change thing affecting people that are crossbreeding currently? Is it still working?
