i am kinda uneasy asking this, but why this thread is not in Game Play ???

Why would it need to be, it's not a question on game play merely a thread for crossbreeders to come together

*agrees with FQ*

I'm going to repost my most happiest moment of my entire howrse game so far

Category 6 15*

I am sooo happy I finally fulfilled my dream (on howrse) of producing a filly with stars in every catergory

Nice horse BH.

Nice Bucket! Really nice crosses lately everyone

Wild North and the rest of you who are inquiring about why your 25/25/25/25 crosses are not coming out being the breed you had hoped for...

It has been my experience, and the experience of many other cross breeders, that after you cross, crosses with the same amount per breed spread over 25/25/25/25, it becomes random when the breed is chosen by the program. This is why I always breed my crosses back to a pure bred at least every other breeding.

I will add that even when it is just 2 breeds involved breeding 2 50/50 crosses together over more then 2 generations after the first cross it can still be random when the breed is chosen, it is not always the breed of the father.

Thank you for the help zeph, now I know to continue doing what I'm doing even though it was originally just to catch up with the purebreds GP I now know to do so to keep things in a predictable state

I learned all about randomness with Lightspeed. Still not quite sure how she turned out Standie....

Does anyone have a hano/irish hunter filly cross for sale?

I might....somewhere in my herd of other horses lol

Im thinking about a IH and arab crossbred.

hmm ok

i shall start breeding my arabo-friesian filly with one of my pure bred stallion... last time i got stars in every category. lets hope it happens again!

Thanks for that Zepharo...something we'll have to remember...although that's a desperate amount of blupping...

jbradin -- as to your bm item suggestion -- I would be all for it, although since cross-breds appear to be the red-headed step-children of Howrse, I can see all the purists waxing on about how 'unnecessary' it would be....

When I bred my Welsh trotting mare (who has trot as one of top two skills), the first time I breed her parents together (sire was 50% Hackney, 25% Welsh, 25% Stb, mom was Welsh/Std), I ended up with a Standardbred. So I bolted her father to a mare and bred back to a Welsh/Std stallion I fortunately already had and then got my Welsh.

Part of the fun of crossbreeding is the not knowing what you'll get sometimes.

Well done Bucket, I have only done 5 so far.

an arabian/ connermara mix, of the same color and skill would be soooo cool


hey um how do i get a mare because i only have a stallion so unless i buy, no more horsies.

If you look at my horses, all but a few are cross-breeds. I am developing a light bay Hano-Auz (as I call them) line and they are all sooooo sweet. Also I am trying to get a Shetland line, too but Shettie purebreds

That sounds cute Pixie!

hehe....red-headed stepchildren....hehe that's what my family friends call me haha , spose I fit right in here =^_^=

Yay! I just bred a Morgan Colt with stars in 5 catagories. Now for that last one... His name is Hannibal and I'm just finishing games with him and he should have around 649.09 GP. (That's what I calculated anyways) Can't wait to start BLUPping him! I just need to find MA for him and I'll start right away! He should be a quick one to do. His dam has over 500 comp wins and is only 34 years old. Anyone have some Arms I can buy/trade for to make this quicker?

Just finished BLUPing Forest Queen's awesome creation. :3

He looks awesome ....course I'm biased

He doesn't just look awesome, he is awesome!

Well my cross is over the 200 wins now, i feel very proud Unfortunately a darling player decided to stomp my poor cross so she doesn't have the wins she should have at this point.

Clematis - I think I may have to drop you a PM later......

Reposting my request for breeding my cross to a nice 50/50 friesian stud....please PM me if you have a stud that may fit the bill!
