Possibly looking for a BP to breed crosses just for fun. Any type of crosses I’m happy with.
If anyone is interested shoot a PM.

I bought a GV/Marwari cross to cross with my Marwari/TB stallion. She's been a good Western Pleasure in comps. Just entered her in the Prix so waiting on those results. GV/Marwari might get what you want.

Does anyone know where I could find a list or soemthing of good breeds to pair together? I want to start crossbreeding but have no idea where to start

Figuring out what you want to achieve is the best place to start. I started crossbreeding my drafts (Percheron and Drum) because A) I like drafts and they are efficient resource gathering AP farmers, B) crossbreeding means it will be a long time before I have to worry about the "can't access beginning comps" GP limits, C) they are decently easy to BLUP with reining comps, and D) I specifically pursued my "French Drummer" project (51% Perch/49% Drum) because I prefer the look of the Percheron and wanted it always dominant.

So... what do you want to achieve with your project?

Not necessarily what you're looking for, but it may give you a bit of a start.

Ok I really love this stud. He's a little show jumping/cross country dynamo. I tried crossing him with a Selle for a show jumping offspring and I'm not happy with the result. Suggestions for either a show jumping or cross country off spring?

Having trouble with your link miketg. What is he?

Not Unlucky


Here's my CC/Jumper. I haven't been able to win a rosette in forever but maybe one of his foals will have a good go.

LoL apparently I am getting old. It has been ages since I could link anything. Ah well.

He's 50/50 Arabian/Selle

Trying to decide if I should go back with an Arabian or if I should bring in a third breed.

If you breed to Arab then you could breed back again to a Selle to preserve the 50/50. I'm inchworming some of my cross-lines that way too.

I think you could also 50/50 a high GP Vanner with a Selle or Arabian and breed that mare to your stallion if you want to increase GP. That might preserve the broader skill set that assists with both CC and Jumping instead of just one. If it leans Selle then I think it'll be a better jumping and the Arab will be a better CC. I can't think of many other breeds I've seen with rosette lvl GPs that enjoy CC. Maybe some of my Lusitano or Paso crosses that started with high dressage. So far some of my TBs are good for Jumping.

I think my most recent cross Wake Up In The Sky is hopefully going to be a good XC comper. I'm planning on breeding him back to his dam Ride Slow to get a GV dominant filly @ about 12370gp to then breed to a purebred Conn (to preserve the breed), which will bring me back to about the same GP i'm at now but better in Stamina skills.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Funny you should say that.... I have two 50/50 gypsy/Arabian mares coming up. I think you're right and I'll breed my 50/50 selle/Arabian with them and see what happens. In the meantime I may try and duplicate the selle/Arabian success and get a mare too. The trick really is the GP/skills isn't it? As much as I love my little stud he doesn't qualify for rosettes in anything. I'm hoping for better for his offspring

For sure going to blupping and train up this filly. I don’t know what to cross her with next. Filly

Maybe put her back to KWPN???

Opps I mean back to Kanab

She's full gallop and semi targeted to Dressage. A Knab would preserve the Dressage, improve trot and open up more potential for jumping like the Selle. Some of my TBs are also unexpected jumpers so you might find she likes that too. Should be interesting

A bit of an unexpected cross here.

I think he could make a pretty could CC comper if I bred him to maybe a GV? I almost don't want him to be GV dominant though since they're already so strong in breed comps. Any suggestions? Should I stop at him or find another cross to breed to him with?

You could use the same principle as Miketg might. 50/50 a Vanner with a Selle or a Canadian for a mare and breed her to your stallion. You'll have to figure out which breed you want to end up with and how they do with breed comps.
You also might make a mare Selle/Canadian and breed her to the stallion or inchworm back and forth between Selles and Canadians to increase GP until you have what you want
. I think you will get tied up on the Canadians first. :/

Honestly I don't have the patience to go through everyone and look at everyone's projects right now, lol So those who like to talk, I'ma ask what is everyone working on right now?

I used to be pretty active in this forum a few years ago, and I miss working with all my cross-breeds! Hoping to get back into it soon.

I'm not good with names, were any of you here that long ago?
I breed under the affix ~just believe~

Liking this filly so far. Finally getting some wins down...since it’s harder then ever now. Oh well lol.


...had 1 win before 10

If you can duplicate that breeding or use a Bolt, I would aim to get a filly of that same cross (Canadian x Selle) and then breed her to the top GV covering. That would make that offspring 50% GV and boost the GP significantly. I would then take that foal, a filly, and breed to the top pure Canadian in order to not have a GV dominant foal (62% CH, 25% GV, 13% Selle if my math is correct). Decreasing your Selle genetics will greatly improve Stamina skills as Selles are very good at bringing it down, even in small % of them in the lineage.

I’m excited about this new Colt

really looking for some help
i am looking to breed a paint horse cross but keep getting tb
if anyone as a horse paint with over 12350+gp please sent me a pmail as id love a coving

Another awesome cross. Going to use a ZB on him and breed him to my other colt.

Made a simple cross with a pretty coat Roan Colt
Anyone any idea what speciality and comps he would do best in?
