HellOw!

If you like to cross-breed, this is the place for you!

what skill (or skills) did you want to emphasize that usually helps to figure it out

Brooke - Let me just say... IH dominate IHxArabs are easier to get wins for, imo.

What is the best cross to breed? Im re starting with cross breeding
By Zanna_Girl, 22nd April 2010 22:55:26
Depends on what you're trying for. If you're look for GP and skills overall, IHxArabs were the first crosses to get 18-21*, if my sources are correct. If you're looking for a comp monster, you need to pick a competition and breed for the skills for that.

I will try them then

Well, my sister and me decided to breed our Fri/Morgan to an STB/Arab that was in public covers.

I put a hera pack on and was surprised to get Arab dominant in the cross:

Arab/STB/Frisian/Morgan cross

We are elated the twins came out arab AND as fillies! No having to scrounge for a zeus bolt now!

This is good since 5 skills made 1 star. I'm sure we can work on getting the gallop up to a star with breeding.

I just produced my second Newfie/Arab cross and I am pretty happy with the results. I am still thinking of names for him but here he is.default smiley ^)
My Colt
Tell me what you think of him! He would have higher stars but my 22* wasn't ready to breed so I used a 20* arabian and a 17* Newfie pony. My next one should turn out even better.default smiley :)
By Retired breeder, 23rd April 2010 00:29:43
Thanks. Sunny, he looks great.default smiley :) I'll try Barrel Racing, but I'm not a big fan of it because Western tack costs more and it takes more energy usually.
By lolita43, 23rd April 2010 00:31:21
I almost always put tacks packs on my crosses that I don't plan on selling. default smiley (lol)

I just got a tack pack from a star yesterday. The only good thing I got though. The rest was just turnips and apples.default smiley :( I am hoping for an arms so I can BLUP one of my crosses.
By Retired breeder, 23rd April 2010 00:33:14
okay I got this newfie paint cross and i'm not sure if I should usemy nyx pack on him so can anyone give me sugestions? here he is!
By lolita43, 23rd April 2010 00:36:36
I personally don't put nyx packs/arms and timer on horses that weren't bred with tears. I did when I first started, but then realized I was better off saving them for the best horses.

Ok I guess I'll go find tears for my next mare.
By lolita43, 23rd April 2010 00:42:52
If the horse will still do well in comps, then a nyx pack will probably be worth using. I can't really say, because I only work with certain breeds and don't know much about the others.
