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!

Crossbreds are so much more fun to blup default smiley (lol) no worrying about their wins default smiley (o)
I haven't had to worry yet default smiley (lol) and I've done a few different percentages of 2 breed crosses. They still work out great. pix has the twin to Vegas Mama and he looks as good if not better than Mama for that age haha

I never have the nerve to do anything other than a 50/50 cross.....
I've only strayed as far as 75/25 though I had a couple of foals pop out 62.5/37.5 or something funky like that. Still have one sitting in sales for 10k and not even a peep of an offer for him default smiley xd. Pity he was born with tears and wand, twin went to Clem haha

I was kind of tempted to try and breed a horse with 2 stars or above in each category since i accidentally already bred one with 1* or more in each default smiley (lol)
It's a challenge but very interesting.
Autumnal and I bred 20* all skills two days ago!
Now, we gonna go higher!default smiley :-))

I just produced some great cross breed foals! Some are in the sales now, take a look! =D
I find that after I cross the 3rd breed to a horse going back to it original breed for the fourth cross works really well. I have a five breed cross also called Many Moons. Its just fun to see what you create some are okay and some are really good.

I've been working on "Teddy Ponies", 1/4 TB, 1/4 Arab, 1/2 Shetland--just like the late Theodore O'Connor. It is too bad that lots of people don't buy crossbreeds.

Newest BLUPee busy BLUPing her now.. then once she's done I'll breed her and hopefully get a 1* or more in each skill. Can't seem to find any studs suitable though default smiley (lol)

* I'll add a ZLB to him first though default smiley (lol)

ALL(I say all but some arn't)OF MY HORSES ARE XBREEDS, I've sold mine 4 decent prices! Always buy a horse, give items and train it lots, then sell it 4 mor then u bougt it 4!default smiley (y)default smiley (lol)

try breeding paints,TBs and Frashins together they make REALLY good babies!default smiley :o Go look at Angel in my oother horses tab!
So, I found myself being an accidental cross-breeder....and now I could use some advice. default smiley :-))

A while back I bought a foundie TB mare, without noticing she'd been covered by a Friesian stallion! Oops. I kept the foal (aptly named "Freeloader'), got her BLUPed....and now I don't know what to do with her. default smiley (lol) My original thought was to cross her with a high-starred Irish Hunter, to get something with nice dressage for my EC....but her dressage finished up below 100, so that doesn't seem like it'd work.

Any suggestions for good & useful crosses are welcome. default smiley :) (I'll also consider selling her if anyone here has a yen for TB x Friesian horses).

You could try Morgans, Irish Hunters. These have good dressage skills.
