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!

That's totally fine. Just give me a couple of days to BLUP him. default smiley (y)


Great work! So glad you're starting up Anglo-Arabians too! I know a few folks (including myself) that might be interested in breeding and/or working with you on them. Holler if interested.

Again, nice foal! Good luck comping and skilling it out. Should be a beast. default smiley :p

We have a Warlander project going involving that cross, actually! Msg me for more info? We even started up our own project forum and are tracking Warlanders' achievements, have listed studs and broodmares, hold a "Warlander of the Month" contest every month, etc.

Warlanders are Friesian x Andalusian (so PSH and/or Lusitanos). We only allow those 3 breeds into the cross. They are pretty decent dressage monsters, lol.

This is my latest and greatest combo:
Two to Tango - (Friesian x PSH/Lusitano) 6923.87 GP (skilled out to 9056.34 @14 yrs)

Well, now that I've bothered to sit down and genuinely put effort into finishing him, Broken Toys will be #1 overall, #7 stamina, #1 speed, #10 trot, #1 jumping, and #1 dressage Trake. Which puts Dead But Breathing at #2 overall, #2 speed, and #2 dressage under him.


The current best of my Arabian crosses:

Tempting Fate - 7238.58 GP
From my ⊰Aɳglσ-Arabiaɳs⊱╮ project.

Five-Alarm Fire - 7100.53 GP
From my Piηtabiaη ✱ Ʀoots project.

Venture Forth - 5848.23 GP
Out-of-date experiment I plan on reworking soon!
From my Ⱳeℓαɾα ✨ Sρυɳk project.

Xiuyan Punch ★ - 6975.90 GP
From my ◄Qυᴀʀᴀʙ Excᴇʟʟoʀѕ► project.

New Horizon - 6401.91 GP
From my (Moʀᴀʙ ✦ Vιᴛᴀʟιᴛу) project.

Lunatic Fringe - 6843.15 GP
From my •°●Aɾappaloosas●。• project.


Also have some other projects involving Arabians to a lesser degree and/or more mixing.
Forrrrr example:

Gryffindor Lion - 6408.40 GP
From my .•:Pony Of Americas:•. project.

No Arabs currently, BUT I do have Gypsy crosses, which are the same (even including your mare's GP), just replace Gypsy with Arab.

Operate - Kindly given to me by equestrienne1979. Selle/Gypsy
White Wedding - Mar/Gypsy for a reining project
WhereDidThePartyGo? - QH/Gypsy, another reining project
Asa Fox - TB/Gypsy, yes, reining project
Alpha And Omege - 50% TB/25% Gypsy/25% Lip, guess what she's for default smiley xd
SaveRockAndRoll - Appy/Gypsy, dam of Broken Toys, not Teared and one of the top stamina Appies
Gypsies and Arabians do have the same top 3 skills, but the distribution of their overall genetics is different, so if you have a specific goal in mind for your cross I would do some calculations first as the numbers of a TB/Gypsy cross won't look exactly the same as the numbers of a TB/Arab cross. Speed genetics in particular for that cross as Arabians have about 300GP more in speed than a Gypsy.

I used to do Gypsies and Arabs crossed with the same things side-by-side (granted, not including Selles or Lips, as the Selles were non-existent then and Lips were very new), and outside of ratios and occasionally the order of the lower three skills, the crosses were all the same.
If they are just looking at skill sets then it won't matter, but I figured if they were looking to increase a particular genetic or are looking to get specific numerical outputs because they want to add another breed or two later on that they would want to calculate which would work better.

I wasn't sure of horsesrule's goal, but I often look at numbers in my cross genetics which is why I mentioned that, in case they wanted to as well.

Yeah that would be really cool default smiley ^) I'd be up for working with anyone who is interested, especially since I am pretty new to the skillset

*screams like a crazy person* Oh wait...I am a crazy person. My bad.

It's the glitchy!!!

*runs around in circles like a lap dog*

See what happens when you're trying to blup something that needed to be done 2 days ago? lol I hate it when comps are sitting for ages. I doubt I have fillers that would work. I'd ask for help but he's a purebred.

Meh. I need a distraction from all those Barrel comps that refuse to run lol

So...glitchy...sup? Wacha workin' on? Have some tea...default smiley xd

7400+ GP Selle mare. Okay guys, I need some ideas for this girl! I already have my Paint and Appaloosa/ Selle crosses and my Freisian/ Selle. I want at least one more cross out of her before she becomes pass horse bound.
By Retired breeder, 7th December 2016 22:01:49
I have nothing to work on right now! Not sure if I'm going to go round 4 on my trail PSH (finishing round 3 atm and it's not that exciting bc the GP is about a year old) or if I want to do something with Knabs again or if I need to find something completely new and exciting!

Also, what's a vintage apple?
Awe s'ok glitchy. I'm averaging 4400ish with my cross babies because I only work so many at a time.

With that said folks...this guy will be available for cross covers sometime tomorrow once he's blupped. He'll be Nyx'd, in a 60e EC, and clouded with WoY so I'm hopeful for 10,000+ skills and rosettes.

And yes, his parents are named after cross folks from this very forum. I name about 1/2 of my team Gyps after howrse players default smiley :d

Oh, I popped out such a pretty baby. default smiley xd I just finished BLUPing a 7600 GP Gypsy girl today for part of a Christmas gift to someone. Speaking of... I need to go match names...
By Retired breeder, 7th December 2016 23:08:09
Mine are all getting Christmas themed names at the moment default smiley xddefault smiley ;)default smiley ;)
lol twins actually, Bwahahaha. Ok, I'm impatient. I'm gunna umh...yeah, new crossy lol only spent 1 AP so I won't pull out all my hair over this haha.

Pickles

He's basically a non sequitur...

Ever have a great conversation with someone and then outta the blue, they say something like...pickles? default smiley xd Yep, that's him. I name crosses, kwpns and lusi's after whatever random funny thought is in my head at the time. It turns out, there's a lot of them.

Lol. All my crosses get named after songs, song lyrics, or TV show episodes.
By Retired breeder, 8th December 2016 00:13:13
Okay, I've got something. Going to recreate this which I remember as being a super fun cross to work with!
By Retired breeder, 8th December 2016 00:40:01
SO I bred him but I don't really like his ratios (I'm not bolding anything I don't have to and I want dressage/speed/not gallop in the top three so off to beg a covering from Vampiris and try again.
I actually like his skill set just because his trot is so low and I could always beach speed but for this particular project I would rather just breed another one and pick my favourite default smiley (lol)
I bred this girl today. I might try Crio stallion instead next time. I really want to get the trot up from the Gypsy mother. I'm not sure yet.
