[URL= http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/affixe?id=207564]These are my crosses. Please tell me what you think of them.[/URL]

I like Mix-N-Match JG007.

Pretty nice, JG007. I especially like Something Simple.

*Simply Something. >> Geez, I can't think today.

What I have noticed is, everytime we do cross breeds ---- it's always the FATHER who is the dominate breed? Have you noticed that too, well I guess howrse has reasons for that, but it's kind of weird. I guess so you can make certain breed cross breeds so you are guaranteed every time that it would be a certain breed.
Example:

Thoroughbred (mother) x Irish hunter (father

And.... the foal is... you guessed it, hunter. Here's another one:

Quarter horse (mother) x Hanoverian (father)

Again... the foal is the father's breed, a hanoverian with 50% of quarter horse still, and the top skills (QhxHano) are dressage, speed, jumping...

Until you get to the 25/25/25/25 crosses, chickentender. From there and beyond it's more of a random thing, much to my frustrations.

Thanks. Actually, Mix-n-Match's father is a QH.

Hmmm I heard that it is the dam's sire that decides it....unless the granddam has more percentage of a breed. It truly depends on the percentage. If you breed two 50/50 (say) Anglos together (one dominant arab, one dominant TB) the result is whatever the maternal grandsire is (dam's sire)

True. I can honestly say I haven't done much beyond 50/25/25 crosses, so I wasn't familiar with that rule when I bred my first 25/25/25/25 Quarter Pony cross. Was very irritating to waste some tears on getting foals that came out Arabian. Useless!

I really don't mind what breed the howrse is, because if I use a stally that isn't mine to breed, I do my research on the stally before I breed him to my mare.

I'm going to try and breed two arabs/tbs together. Well, technically anglos.

It is NOT "always" the father's breed. When working with even mixes, it is very often. >> If you breed a ArabxTB that is half and half to an ArabxTB that is also half and half, it should be the sire's dam's breed.

Er, I think it was the sire's dam's...

does anyone here have a mare with arms that at least has 3 stars in stamina and trot? I'd be willing to buy her for 10k and a pass

When not working with even mixes its whatever the highest percentage is. Bred my favorite cross (a half and half ArabXIH Arab showing) back to his mother (Pure IH) and got a 75% IH 25% Arab filly.

If anyone is interested, I have decided to sell Starshine. If you want her, please PM me.

Yeah, I've found that when it comes to breeding to half crosses of the same breed the foal is usually the recessive breed. There are some miracle mares that produce what you want though. I've had 2 so far, one is dead, but Silver Streak http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=8947670 has produced her own half breed. Check her offspring, the cherry bay foal proves it.

Here is my cross mare.. http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=9742714 She will be 100BLUPd once she turns 10 years. I'm hoping I can find a good stallion for her soon. (Tb/Paint or Paint/TB cross)

does anyone know somebody on here that has a mare for sale that has 3 stars in stamina and 3 in trot that's a cross breed?

BucketHead-no, but I might be able to produce one for you in the near future. =) PM me.

I am going to start to cross an ih and a brumby, because then I will have an awesome brumby to whoop up on all the low dressage full blood brumbies.... at least i hope

Yesterday I bred a nice Quarter Horse/Marwari filly. She doesn't have IBS, but I bred her 1- To see if I can help my barrel races along other than just with my purebred Marwari... 2 - I wanted to see how it would turn out... and 3 - Somewhat as an impulse Her mother doesn't have the highest GP, 686 or 696, can't remember which. I don't really mind though, as I'm not a pass buyer.

So, what's the crossbreed with the most wins?
anyone know?

Currently I'm trying to breed a barrel horse - low speed but high gallop.
It's coming along...see my affix Mezclado for some specimens

I just experiment with different breeds and anyfoals that are not the best go to sale
My homebred crossbreds are all under Blue Blood breeding farm.
And under the affix of Blue Blood.
I'm not into breeding crossbreds for the GP race or anything but rather as a pleasure.
I have one 1000 skiller crossbred that I bred called Blue Motion.
Pretty proud of my crossbreds

Hey, does anyone find that when they breed two crossbreds one can have lower skills but win comp more easy whereas a horse with more skills may will less easy?
Thats the case with my crossbreds Bluetiful Dragonfly and Blue Motion.
Check them out!

I had an idea for that exact problem it would be a bm breeding item. But it would really only apply to crossbreeders so I didn't post it cause I thought a lot of people would say it was stupid. But basically it would be an item that would cost one pass and it would give you the choice of what breed you wanted your foal

So if you had an Irish Hunter stallion and wanted to cross it with an Arabian mare but wanted the foal to be an Arabian you would use this item and be able to choose That way it would take a little bit of the guesswork out of it. Lol at least I know I would use this all the time with my crossbreeding.

And blue eyes I have seen that a lot with my lower gp/lower skill crossbreeds against a strictly purebred but it depends a lot on the breed.
