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!

I occasionally breed Arabians/Thoroughbreds to make better Anglo-Arabs. I may be looking for future partners in establishing a good breeding program, just not right at the moment! default smiley :)

First Post .

what do you think cross breeding an appaloosa and a brumby will do. I think i might give it a try.default smiley :d
Woohoo - I love cross-breeding!

I'd just point out that if you produce a 50:50 foal whose parents were purebred then the foal will have the breed of its fathers. *But* if the parents of your 50:50 foal were also 50:50 then the foal is often the 'hidden' breed instead of the father's breed. This catches out a lot of people, and it caught me out a few months ago with a pair of expensively produced twins default smiley :(

I cross breed Chincos with whatever has good speed. I'm trying to create a champ (in speed) with lots of good training areas. Charlie is best at all the training things except trot and jumping. My tip is if you cross breed, make sure the two horses are good in the same areas and both have a positive BLUP. (I just thought of BLUP after I bred Pumpkin) sorry 'bout the shabby writing skills.
Oh, I have found that paint/tb don't do as well as I had hoped, and mixing paint/arab/canadian still gives you a good cross, but not as good as a 50/50 mix.

paint/qh will get you a monster gallop and barrel horse tho default smiley ;)

I've been breeding Hano x IH crosses under the of Half ѯ Half prefix since I started.

Surge

Right now I have a PSH x Paint cross as a jumping horse, a Shetland x IH XC horse who's actually a lot of fun, a Hano x IH and I have a Morgan x PSH x Paint that I'm going to see how it does as a gallop horse.

Have a Paint x IH that did not work out very well. :\ Do not like that cross.

I also tried creating the breed called "Starabs" (Standardbred/Arab)...not too bad for comps...easily trains in most skills without too many penalties too! default smiley ;)

i did a LOT of crossbreeding with hano/welsh and welsh/arab, which turned out absolutley BRILLIANT welshies are great for introducing speed and dressage into a line of stock
By Retired breeder, 3rd April 2010 20:57:15
I've been crossing Standie's with Irish Hunters, and my team has branched out to other breeds to cross with standies as well. It's a lot of fun XD
MorningMst, I found that to be true on paint/IH also...

I have been using my ~Cross €yed Ṗixies~ affix for the most part.
