Broken Toys - Trake/Selle/Appy/Gypsy. This guy did NOT want to get wins for me, but he's #1 overall, speed, dressage, and jumping.
Dead But Breathing - Trake/Paint/Appy/TB. #2 overall, speed, and dressage.


TWIIII! I'm doing good. My crosses are good now too haha. I have a Crio that's slowly being pushed out of the ranks by KR default smiley :p (I'll take it back one day haha). How are you and your crosses?

Lol. I have three lines of jumper Crios. Good luck. default smiley :p


I'm good with sticking to taking over trot and gallop haha. I just bought a 7626 GP Gypsy (pretty cheaply I might add), so I'll see what I can breed when he's blupped and bolted.

I've started dabbling in "RL" non howrse breeds starting with the Nez Perce Horse (Appy x Teke) and the Appendix Quarter horse (QH x TB) and POAs

Bred up this Appendix QH guy, and he is doing pretty well

Impressive Hype m

This one is an Nez Perce Horse, I bought this boy from Fivinyn784

what is public GP?
o.0 Actually, what the Nez Perce had were called Foundation Appaloosasdefault smiley :) Which are true Appaloosas (ie, no QH). They go back to a Mongolian Spotted War Pony bred by the Huns. They still exist today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_horse

Pardon my Appyness...but I love them so and I'm gunna sneeze I think o.0 Hm...maybe not.

I see Crio love lol I believe I've got a Crio/Gyp somewhere. Dunno where...so many crosses just collecting dust...

Yes, but the Nez Perce is trying to go back to breeding to revive their horse culture and have created the Nez Perce Horses which is a Teke crossed with Appy

Nez Perce Horse
OoOo I love peacock spots...*le sigh* I miss breeding my Appies here, but still have like 200 or so horses to blup and sell default smiley xd

Did you check any of the TB team pages? I think some of them offer top covers if the mare is a cross bred

I think I might have an unhealthy obsession with them now haha. I really loved my Selle/Crio crosses I did. I might breed some more Crio crosses.

We're talking about the "Nez Perce Horse" here, which -is- derived from anicent "foundation Appaloosa" and designed to re-vitalize the original breed type. Their from the same branch as the Mongolian Spotted War Pony. default smiley ^) So you're not wrong, but neither are we. default smiley ;)default smiley (y)

Much nerdiness up in here:

The Nez Perce Horse is an App x Akhal-Teke cross that is relatively new (early 1990's) designed to re-establish the horse culture of the Nez Perce and their Foundation Appaloosa type. They use Wallowa herd Appaloosas for this, which are closest to the original Ma'amin Appaloosa type.

Many of the other, more "modern" Appaloosas have considerable QH, TB, Arabian influence. These other breeds were worked with a desire to produce show-ring quality horses with loud color, heavy muscling, and refinement. Over time, they have become a much different beast than the original type.

The Nez Perce instead bred their Appaloosas for endurance, thrift, toughness and courage. Annnnnnd genetic and historical research indicate that the foundation stock of the Appaloosa/Ma'amin likely originated from stock left behind by Russian fur traders who had an early presences in the Pacific Northwest

These Eurasian horses are derived from the famous “Heavenly Horses” of Ghengis Khan (Mongolian default smiley ;)), and traceable back to the Akhal Teke, a breed kept pure in Turkmenistan for over 2,000 years.

(Most of this is summarized from the Dream Horse Farm Nez Perce Horse information webpage. There is also a Nez Perce Horse Registry with great information on them. ^_default smiley ^)

Demonic is cross friendly. The leader is super nice but she is kinda difficult to reach. I don't know about any of the other TB teams.

is waiting for wins the worst thing ever or what. I'm itching to finish this knab filly. It's so bad but I can't stay away from pure knabs because my affix is so pretty I don't want it to go to waste

On crosses, Vampiris replied so the teke is going to be lit in a few days and I can't wait!
I finally bred meself a new filly, seems very even in her top three skills!! I am quite proud of this lil' mare! All Too Smart
