pretty sure mega has some nice compers too I can think of one in particular that I love lol

yeah, they don't like it when they don't win prix. So they put a stop to that real quick

Thanks to both of you guys - it really cleared out much for me.

I can definitely relate to the fact that overcompetitiveness (is that even a word?) is kind of killing the fun, so that crossbreeding can get you more of the leisure enjoyment I personaly hoped for in this game.

I think I'll just try to follow the skills needed for specific comps and start from there. We'll see what will come up

Has anyone ever tried a Standardbred/Quarter cross? I've been trying to answer the million dollar question for crossbreeding (How to increase gallop without losing trot or increase trot and not lose gallop) and quite possibly have discovered something. Earlier today I bred a Standardbred/Appaloosa cross that surprisingly had trot as a top skill. I totally wasn't expecting that, as Appys aren't trot dominant at all, but I guess she's a miracle filly I'm going to try it out and see how it goes. Wish me luck!

I think the answer to the million dollar question is either a three or four-way cross. As far as I know you can't increase gallop without losing trot & vice versa with a 50-50 cross. You may be onto something

Any help be lovely
I have not done a cross since about 2 years ago
I am looking to do a paint horse cross that must be good at comps
Any ideas

What kind of comps?

Paint x lusi might be interesting for low level trot

Paint/Selle dominated Jump comps if I recall correctly. I worked with them for a while and did pretty well.

Many, many moons ago I bred the top overall horse. He was a cross baby

I have so many horses to work on I've put my latest idea on the backburner for the time being

Doesn't anyone have an idea of what comps This filly would do well in? First time with Standardbred/Appaloosas.

Oh, and she's the miracle filly mentioned above. The Standardbred/QH is on the way, and I think it'll be interesting.... Maybe if I introduced my Knarab mar3 with high gallop and trot...... Hmmm.... What do you guys think?

I've discovered a good cross for SJ comps. It's a Knabstrupper/Arabian cross.

Oh lol not a paint one sorry

Standardbred/Quarter Colt
I'm pretty happy with this little guy! Gallop is only about 100 less than trot! His dam's a Quarter and he's Standard dominant, so maybe I'll see if I can get a Qurter dominant out of a Standard stallion I bought. Eek! SOOO close to answering the question! I'm also super happy that he's a colt too, because then I can try some 3 way and 4 way crosses.... Maybe breed a TB/Standardbred with him when he's BLUPped? The possibilities are endless!

I bred a Quarter/Standardbred colt that's Standardbred dominant.
He's got nice trot and gallop, the link is on my earlier post. You could try one of those, or maybe a TB/Standardbred, but other than that colt, experiments are in the process.

lol I thought it might be you mega, wasn't it a lippi/qh or something similar?

The colt I bred earlier wasn't as I thought..... Trot was 100 less than gallop, which is the direction I was trying to go in! Now I've just got to find a Standardbred mare and TB stallion to try the TB/Standardbred..... And from there cross Standardbred with all the gallop-dominant breeds.... This is going to take awhile

my most successful paint crosses were paint/KWPN for cutting Party Hats and paint/kwpn/gypsy for western pleasure Fancy Footwork

My latest cross here.

Think I'll have a pretty nice Western Pleasure comper, might even succeed pretty well in a couple classical comps as well.

No rhyme or reason for this guy, very much just a "let's see what I get" kind of cross, which tend to be my favorites. Kicker is he'll take #1 for Paso stamina once trained and he also has a twin sister too

Ever's latest adventure in crossbreeding:

Bred two selle/kpwn (both kpwn dominant) and ended up with a selle foal:

click!

Sire: 50% KPWN, 50% Selle, Breed: Kpwn
Dam: 50% KPWN, 50% Selle, Breed: Kpwn

Foal: 50% KPWN, 50% Selle, Breed: Selle

we mentioned a few pages back that if it's 50/50, it's random, right?

From my experience, when breeding two 50/50 of the same breeds, the foal will take on the second listed breed on the mares genetic tab. So with your mare, she must have Selle listed second to produce the Selle foal.

I've bred several generations (about hundred horses now) of 50/50 crossed line, it's always fun to see when the breed order get randomly flipped.



At a quick glance, this seems to hold true. I will investigate further when I have time.

I'm working on some pony crosses now, but first I need to get my purebred ponies GP up a bit, I've got a Shetland and Welsh cross planned, a Fjord and Quarter Pony still to be decided, also I evidently bought a Mustang mare a while back but I have no idea what I planed to do with it

Hi. My horse in RL is an Anglo Arab so I decided to cross breed Arabs and TBs on here just for fun and to see where it gets me. Not got far with it yet, but hoping to get some high GPs etc

Make The Past Stay

id like everyone to meet my new baby paint

not the best skills in the world but ok
