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!

The forum rules and the game rules also apply.

Have fun sharing!

Same thing as above, but with KWPN.
Stamina:884.88
Speed:1466.30
Dressage:2294.62
Gallop:1018.74
Trot:1577.44
Jumping:2026.67
Trot is still much higher than I'd like, but might do well in cross-country or Western Pleasure.
I'll have to do some thinking.

Well, after breeding it then letting it sit for over a month, my skiller is finally done.

Soldiers Intent

Not the prettiest one I've ever done but I really like how his top 3 skills evened out after I Beached for Gallop. And he'll be #1 Gallop Fjord tomorrow. Not sure if he'll place elsewhere, but we'll see.

(Although that last comp win needs to come through already...it's bugging me lol)

Does anyone have a Morab stallion I could get a cover from for my Morab mare? I want to start breeding them again.

What are your fave QH crosses? I want to try something new.

Shagya/QH. I did one awhile back ago and she turned out lovely. Winter Underground is her name, if you want to view her. Under the Spark breeding farm.

I have another QH cross, Grayson Rose. Not exactly sure on his cross line but I know he was wonderful. My first Rosette winner.

@Ever,
That one's on my list. I just have to BLUP my TB filly and I'll hopefully get to it default smiley (lol)
By Retired breeder, 18th August 2017 19:55:37
I'm thinking of doing a Mustang cross soon. If anyone else is looking to try one, shoot me a PM.

@Ever-
I just covered my TB filly with a Friesian stallion. I'll let you know when the foal is born default smiley ;)
By Ever, 18th August 2017 20:35:30


I auto-bought a TB x Fries the other day (I get horses that are less than 3000e from sales) but am interested in seeing higher GP horse/how it comps.

but here's the GP ratio if you're interested. Top skills are stm, dressage, gallop.

Thanks Ever!
Looks like a good reining cross.
We'll see how it goes.

Has anyone bred any 4 way crosses lately? Specifically within the last 2-3 weeks? I just bred a 25/25/25/25 cross and the breed took the dam's first listed breed when it should have taken the sire's second.
Foal Knab dominant
sire Paso x Haflinger
dam Knab x Brumby

I'm thinking I'll get started on a new project this week. Something Dressage oriented. That still keeps the dominant breeds regular skills boosted as well.
By Retired breeder, 20th August 2017 14:10:57


I no longer own him but here is a Friesian/TB I had blupped awhile ago. Took me forever to get his wins.

Thinking on starting a breeding project that improves all skills. Thinking crossing a lustino with a Argentina criollio. Then cross a lustino with either a Kwpn or a selle francias. Then breeding the resulting foals together would that increase all the skills in a horse.

My sister has a Knab/Standardbred cross and I'm thinking of doing one of those for trot comps, or maybe another Arabian cross. I'm kinda on the fence. What do you guys think?
By Ever, 21st August 2017 03:14:50


Are you planning on breeding to have all 6 skills the same? If so--I heard that those projects/horses don't do the best in comps.
