My first bred cross got SH'd. :-/ I cleaned out my herd and didn't have the time to BLUP him and he wasn't too grand, so I SH'd him.

Great horses. My first cross is still alive. He is under the affix 'of Golden Victory'. His name is Cloud. Or was, I don't know if his new owner changed it.

What do you mean? Crossbreed?
My very first crossbreeding experiment was actually an accident - and to this day I still sell covers from him on a regular basis.

Granted, Big Blue Boi's GP is rather small by today's standards, but there is still such a dearth of six-skilled studs up for grabs that he gets attention despite his antiquity.

He is a direct ancestor for the vast majority of my Frie-cross babies - any horse that has the affix "of The Big Blue Line" can be traced back to his mother, Blue Princess (who is a Hano, and still gives me pretty foals). I hope he's proud of himself, heh heh heh!

Frie/Hano gives a ridiculously easy one-generation six-skill mix, but that horribly low GP makes it tough to really get the kids to shine, so I have been working on a longer but more sustainable route - throwing in Hunter for GP and to re-boost the dressage, Paint to correct that slow speed, and a little Arabian for stamina. Adam and Eve aren't quite six-skill on their own, but their foals will be.



Clem, I bred my Paint cross, Rubenesque Beauty (so named because she spent the first five years of her training chronically overweight, lol) to your handsome fella there, and am anxious to see what happens!

Pass Day today! default smiley (lol)
Going to catch up on all my blupping today default smiley (lol)
By Retired breeder, 7th May 2010 11:02:53
Do you think that paint and hunter added to TB would be good mix?

Well... going to test it anyway - atleast when I can get my hands to high gp TB mare... any of you could offer one for leasing or if someone is selling 50/50 TB/IH... I migh be interested to buy default smiley :p

Here's the colt I just bred:Rosalind's Knight
I have two ongoing crossbreeding projects. I breed "Painted Quartaloosas" which are Paint/Appy/QH (and of course I have several combos of the three but the ultimate is when all three are combined) and I also have my "Sweet Sixteens" which are a perfectly even mix of 16 breeds. I started it not caring about GP, Skills, etc. and just wanted to get the even mix. Now I'm working on slowly raising the GP in that area. Here's my newest baby, Sixteen Candles.

I'm also beginning that project again with high GP horses to see what the results look like. I'm excited, but it's going to be a long process of breeding and training to get there.

That's really cool about the Sweet Sixteens spanishroses! I'll have to take a look at them.

My latest project who I can't take credit for breeding (he was a gift from my Welsh breeding partners, some of whom also do Shetlands) is a Welsh/Shetland who is currently #1 in Jump Skills for Welsh, and he should make #1 overall. He's 20 years old with 5 POCs used, so 15 more POCs to go.
