Bred a new Mare, hoping she's a pretty decent race monster. She has full brother that I'm thinking of Gelding, although I might keep him a stallion so he can breed. Pretty proud of them, and I'm in love with her Golden Apple

My pretty girl, Lioness

I've never cross bred before in 7 years of playing howrse (this is a new account, previous ones I've had over the years were all deleted) so I'm new to this! So wondering if anyone could help me with this:
I've brought a Standardbred mare that I plan to cross with Argentinian Criollo's, with the intention of creating horses good at the trotting races. Does anyone know if this is a good combination, or if any other breeds would mix well with these two.
Thank you to anyone that want to help!

Well this was funny. So, when I bred connie 1 to connie 2, I got halflinger. But when breeding the halfi to connie 2, I got selle. I wonder if I breed the selle back to his halfi mom, if it'll be a halfi baby and then what the breed list will look like.

I just started crossbreeding and i did a Gypsy x Thoroughbred to increase i think the stamina in the thoroughbred. Could someone with more cross-breeding experience take a look at him? He's Thoroughbred 8187.49. Also, could i increase each skill individually by crossbreeding breeds best at that skill? Like for stamina gypsy x thoroughbred and then for jumping do that foal with a breed that excels in jumping etc.

Theoretically, that would work. I haven't looked at him yet, tho.

Now that is a very good colt. He's low in trot, though, so I would suggest trying the same cross with the same horses (if possible) and try to get a filly, raise/train/blup, and cover that filly with a Standardbred, Tennessee Walker, or Peruvian Paso.

I'm not the most experienced with crossbreeding, though I seem to have more luck with that then with my purebreds

Do you have a link to the horse?

You can breed a cross that has a different skill set than its purebred counterpart. For example, if you wanted a Paint cross that had trot as one of its top skills, then you could do that. Depending on the horse's genetics it could take you few or more crosses to get the outcome you're looking for. Since TBs have fairly decent stamina, you wouldn't have to cross too many times to get a TB with nice stamina.
This TBxGypsy has stamina as its second best skill actually.

You can roughly calculate what a foal's individual genetic skills will be by taking the average of the parent's genetics. That's what I do when I'm looking to target increase specific genetics.

@ Legacy Ann, you can see the colt in their GAs/High GP breeding tab.

This is my most recent cross foal: https://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=52452226

I just bought 3 new new awesome mare's!!!

Hi,

Ive just started cross breeding as a fun side project. Ive just bred this Hano/Lustanio filly https://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=52481574&message=naissance and I am planning on blupping her and then rebreeding here. I would like to up her stamina and speed skills, I wondered if anyone has any recommendations of what breed would be best to cross her with?

I would breed her Thoroughbred for speed.

How many different breeds can show up in a horse's genetics? For example if I breed a purebred Gypsy with a purebred Friesian, then breed that half and half with a purebred Arabian, and so on, how many different breeds can I get a horse to be?

a horse can have all possible breeds in them

(all horse and pony species OR the 3 draft breeds)

BUT only the highest 5 by percent will show up on the horses page

Example: All Breed Project

If you look through the family trees, which will take a long time, you'll see every breed. Project took me just over a year to complete. Kinda want to do the project over again, but with all 350 foundations. But I don't need any more projects. I have too many already.

Paints, Appies, Chincos, or Mustangs (off the top of my head) would be ideal for speed. Mustangs also have stamina in top 3, so you could do that with a pure Mustang or even a pure Crio (stamina/dressage/speed in that order) if you didn't want a cross to get stamina and speed up, or you could do something like a Paint or Appy/Arab (Arabs have better speed that Gypsies) or some such.

I've been absent from the game a while and I'm just starting to pick up where I left off. Here is a nice colt that I bred a while back, he's quite even throughout now of his skills. I'm annoyed that his GP isn't higher, but back when he was born he would have been quite good!

My first breeding in a long time! I just bought his mother, and I'm just gonna pop babies out of her, anybody have a decent stallion? Or wants a covering of either him or his mother (I have a Bolt) just message me

Sorry

Ive got a pure Arab mare, i want to cross her to try and improve her jump stats, whilst maintaining her stamina. I think for this i will need something like a Selle/Gypsy? has anyone got any other suggestions, or even stallions i could take a look at?

@alice_vscott Selle or KWPN would be the best options, both are high in jump

Vanners have a better jump to stamina ratio than Selles, though Selles have a much better jump. But even with breeding to a Vanner you're still increasing the jump GP a bit from the Arabian.

I am in love with the filly i bought! https://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=52437369&message=centreOk

Does anyone have or know of a six way crossed stallion or mare with over 7750 GP?
