HellOw!

If you like to cross-breed, this is the place for you!

On this topic, you can discuss your crossbreeding programs, share your secrets, and advise other players about it.

Compare different crosses with the ones from other players, and brag about your achievements in crossbreeding.

It's not allowed to advertise horse sales!

The forum rules and the game rules also apply.

Have fun sharing!

Does anyone have filler quarter horses?
By Retired breeder, 16th July 2010 04:27:11
No, sorry Spazz. I usually find my fillers for cheap in the private sales, but if you don't have a business key, you will probably still be able to find a cheap one in the auctions. However, you can get them for a lot cheaper if you train them yourself and it's easier to find one.default smiley ;)

My latest Paso crosses Wyrdfell and Izlanzadi. These two will be bred together and see what happens, hopefully the foal will be a Paso.

I need a whine, bred some fab friesian/Irish hunters last night...all will make the top 2 friesian elite spots and no one wants them. Oh well on a happier note, I'm going to skill the best one up default smiley :k
Patience, blonde, you only put them up for sale a day ago, lol. Good things do happen.

Congrats on them, by the way, they're lovely!

A question for the expert breeders here:


If a horse that is 25% breed "A" and 75% breed "B" is bred to a horse that is 50% breed "A" and 50% breed "C", will the foal turn out A or B dominant?

Cryfenril- It would either be Breed A or B.(I think) Those 2 would be the same at 75%. Again I could be way off.
Kat, you're right on the percentages - I'm just not sure which one would dominate.

well lots of crosses have something like that in the %. My horse Panache is like it. She could have been tb but she's a paso insead.

Kialandi isn't winning anything.default smiley (li)

Cryfenril: It's very difficult to predict, but based on the info you gave in the game play forum, I'd predict B.

My experience has been that when breeding crosses together (not breeding purebreds to get a cross), if the percentages come out the same, the foal is the breed of the stallion's dam.

In this case, that would be B.

This sounds like a situation where some experimenting is in order. Can you get your hands on a couple ZLBs, and breed one way then zap them and breed again?
By Retired breeder, 16th July 2010 14:16:34
The rule I quoted above worked on my foal Four Seasons (lvl 10 crazy cross breeding farm), but she is also the same breed as her father, so it's difficult to use that as a determinant. Both father and grandmother were quarter ponies, so in any case, it followed the father's line, not the mother's.
Cute kit, I'm not a big fan of chino's though default smiley xd


Got my Filly!
