No. Dutchman disbanded as a team. Horsebabe91 is part of Frozen In Tyme and I've gotten covers from her, so may be worth asking her. (I'm not sure if it's common for her or if it's because I've been friends with her for years, so I can't say 100% if you'll be able to get covers.)



Outside of my Trakes, all I do is breed real life crosses. Best starting place is deciding what you are breeding for.
Do the top teams have any rules about offering cross breed covers? Obviously they don't allow covers above the current high, but would they offer cross breed covers?

Some of them do offer their top GP, or close to top GP, covers for cross breeding. Most of them are kind in posting whether they do or not on their team page, so if there is a breed you'd like to get a cover from then you can go check out the team pages of that breed in the team rankings.

If they do offer covers I'll then send a PM saying I saw on their page that they offer covers and then ask if I'm able to get a cover for a particular mare

I'm looking for a stallion for this mare. must have GP over 7k and at least 1k in each skill. Anyone have something to fit that? c:

This guy is the only stallion I have with 1000 in each genetic and 7000+ total. Will he do? Not all of his individual genetics are as high as yours, and I'd have to finish blupping him

Legacy Ann, yeah let me knowwhen he's done blupping!

No problem! I'll have him done tomorrow at the lastest, but I'll try to get him done tonight if I'm motivated. I just have to bold his skills.

Anyone want to breed a high Gallop skiller to this mare? I'd give you a twin in exchange for the cover! I was thinking maybe a Quarter or TB.

I've been a comping fool default smiley :p Bet I'm driving people crazy in rookie jump.
3 more crosses to go for tomorrow, and then...nothing but Gyps. I'll have to like...I dunno, fill for people. And make a spread sheet for my secret cross project, soon as I figure out what's what.

I've been dabbling with some other breeds since I started breeding Trakes. Here's what I came up with:

Oliver = Icelandic/Trake/Selle/Don/Vanner. I quite like him even though his GP is lower. I may blup him soon.
Baby = Very creative name I know. He's a Selle/Lusi. I don't normally really breed Lusi's but I'm quite pleased with him.
Gizmo = a Arab/Paint/Selle mix. I might rebreed this cross with a higher GP Selle.

I'm not really sure what to do with these guys. Any ideas on comps for them?

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried doing a cross and breeding it back to pure bred? How many generations would that take? And would the horse ever regain it's blue star?

You used to be able to, but not anymore. Now, there will always be 1% of the other breed.
Ugh it'd be cool if we still could!
