Speed, galloping, and jumping will go up if it is an Irish/App cross. If it is an App/Irish cross, then Stamina and dressage will go up. Does anyone know how to embed a microsoft excel file to the web? I've got a chart I made that helps a lot in viewing mix choices..

Embed an excel file? I don't use excel, so I sadly can't help you there. Maybe you could upload it to something?

Wait, is there any difference in Irish/App crosses and App/Irish crosses?

As far as entering against other pure Irishes or Apps in different comps go, they are different. I guess, look at it this way. This is what I recently sent to someone, and that someone wanted a Paint that was good in cross country..

breeding [a pure bred Paint mare] to an Arab would certainly bring up [cross country skills] in the foal, but the foal would be an Arab/Paint. Thus, the foal would be an arab with better speed and galloping, but less stamina, jumping, and dressage, you see? So the foal would be best at gallop races, better than most pure arabs. If you want a good cross country paint, then the mare needs to be an arab and the stallion a paint.

Get what I'm saying now?

No, I-i really don't.

Because, if you add paints to an arab's bloodline it looses stamina, jumping and dressage, but gains speed and galloping?

Sorry, I don't mean to embarrass you, don't be!

Here, maybe this will help: A screen shot from my chart:

Those are the % skills that I wrote down from howrse's charts. Say that you want the cross to be Irish, half App. So look at the App. What skills are higher in the App than the Irish? Those skills are what will be increased in the Irish mix by the app blood.
I've got to go now, sorry!

So, it's Dressage and Speed?

yay I got my arab mare but shes still young so ill have to age her to breed her to my paint stally

Here she is

I am thinking about ( when they are both skilled) Breeding my 8* quater pony male to my 23* Arabian female. Would the baby be a Q. pony or an Arabian? Thanks

It would take after the father so it would be quarter pony

Mischief- I have a QP/Arab in my Fame Monsters tab if you'd like to see what they turn out like a head of time. The fillys name is I May Be Rude.

good gawd what happened to this fella's genes o_O

Another great IBS production though

To further explain this one's genes, his great-grandparents are 50/50 crosses grandparents are one pure TB and one 50/50 cross and his parents are a full Arab and 75/25 cross.....I was expecting it to right itself to 50/50 by switching the gene pool back around but I was very wrong!

awww, *cuddllies* Could the new graphic for the arab foal be any more cute? Makes me want to hug the little guy.

Forest Queen,
the gene thing happens like that a lot. It becomes random within the possible choices after a few crosses are made.

I know isn't it.

Looks like I'll be scrapping these two colts I just bred . I figured out a way to *hopefully* get back onto the 50/50 track my team was originally on.....we shall see in a few days if it plays true or not though

I don't see the new graphics..

alys592 you have to buy the springtime coat pack to see the new graphics

Forest Queen he has great ibs good job and seeing his grandparents I too would've also thought he would have a 50/50 cross

Forest Queen - may I have one? He could work into my cross breeding team quite nicely.

The grandparents don't matter, as we figured out after the fact. It's the parents. Combined they are 75% tb and 125% arab. Which won't work out for a 50/50 cross. Since the dam is 75%tb/25% arab she needs to be bred to a 75% arab/25% tb stallion in order to become 50/50 again...if my math is correct.

Man, I don't think I have that many passes.

I bought when it went on sale,but we should get back on topic

I am rather proud of the IBS of my last few gens . Clem I have PM'd you about the foals (yes...I used a wand on a foaling I won't end up using )

*sigh*

Well about to cover Diner (the 50/50 granddam of these foals)

I need to learn how to finish my sentences o_O

Bought to cover Diner with an Arab stud to see if I can correct my mess!

I've got him! *slinks back into my corner to resume cross breed plotting*
Thank you!

I can't wait to age my 50/50 arabian, newfoundland cross. Iam hoping she will get decent skills. I plan to breed my chinco mare Maggie to my 22* arabian stally White Wonder when he is done being trained by a friend. I may use tears to get some skills since both parents will have all training finished.

The arabian foals are the CUTEST things ever. I love them like zepharo.

Here is the colt Vegas Diner just produced for me to help me fix my calculations error IBS is a little lower than his half sister Vegas Mama but his GP is higher so that helps make up for it
