My stud, Myah's Teddy Bear, coverings are going fast. He has given out 11 and had 3 three out but now only 2.... Get a 100 dollar discout when you get a reserve covering

I entered two of my horses in the grand prix. Silver Belles came 734th and my purebred arab Allia came in 600th. Allia is a broodmare I use as the mother of many crosses.

For those who are into the advancement of six-skilled Frie crossbreeds, I have finally opened up the Kobalt Majesty line to the public. Foals are now in the public and private sales. 753 to 760 GP, 18* and more, and most past their Games and ready for training.

They stand out well on their own - most are Teared and will stomp the boards with a few Clouds. They can also be used as "bases" for further high-GP crossbreeds with more specialized design - high dressage, high gallop, re-crossed Friesians, etcetera. Think of them as "foundies" with three times the GP.

To me, this is what I've been playing the game for since day one - to produce an improvement that makes a horse noteworthy in ANY competition, not just one specialized skill. Friesians in particular have always captivated me with their combination of mass and grace, and to be able to "craft" a line of Fries with balanced abilities has been a dream come true - even if they're only pixels, lol.

Take a peek at the kids and let me know what you think, eh? I am anxious to see what the crossbreeding community in general thinks of this project.

Now, let's blow the purebreds off the Elite charts, shall we?

(insert wicked grin here)

5 years old, 8 first place wins, going well

i see no advice here, only advertising. this forum is junk.

Go back a few pages kalon, there is advice hiding somewhere here

My Stud made top popularity, and is 48th in the Elite!

No one is forcing you to come here, kalon.

I have a question for those of you who breed crosses down through generations (such as Paint/QH I saw mentioned earlier). What do you do through the successsive generations - do you keep breeding the crosses to each other? (So you're breeding Paint/QH to Paint/QH over and over) or do you add in purebred now and then? Or?? Do any of you breed more than two breeds down through multiple generations?

I have Welsh/Standardbred/hackneys (Welsh by breed) and am trying to decide where to go next with them.

kalon, sorry if it comes across as an advert, but honestly, where else can we go to brag about our crossbreeding achievements? This forum is a place where those of us who don't stick to purebred horses can mingle, swap genes, and toot our own horns a little when we do something really cool.

Miata, crossbreeding (to me) is a bit like tie-dye - there's a plan in mind when you set out to create something, but if it doesn't turn out exactly the way you wanted it that doesn't necessarily make it "wrong". There's a tremendous amount of flexibility.

I tend to recross each generation, but that's because I focus on six-skillers; other folks are focusing on a specific skill or GP goal, so their crosses will be different and more streamlined.

When I am looking for a potential stud for a crossbred mare, I usually look for one that is going to improve whatever flaws she may have and pay little or no attention to the breed. So I wind up with a lot of three-and four-way crosses without even necessarily intending to.

If you're looking to spice up your Welsh mixes, a little Arabian might help in the stamina area, Frie would help keep the dressage high, and Paint would help with speed. A Paint/Arab mix bred to one of your little mares might well be a very nice thing.

i am searching a stud for a hano/irish mare... I want him to have at least 22* and MANY skills! Can you please advice me if a morgan horse will be ok.. Or if you have another horse pm to take a look... I really want to keep the jumping, stamina and the dressage in a good level Please mail me

I have a hano/irish/arabian mare, but she doesn't have 22*. She is 100 BLUP, though...

beach- they are looking for a stally. Your mare sounds nice though. I will have to go take a look at her.

kalon- This forum is not junk,yes no one is giving advice at the moment,but no one is asking for it.

The mare above just birthed this beautiful filly: MaidenAtMidnight

Very nice skills.

Thats grat Cherokee

*Great (ten letters)

Thanks Sunny and itunes! I have to stop breeding and BLUPing after her as I ran out of BMs and passes.

I know what you mean.

Well, I have broken my colt streak, now I'd better run, if I'm going to make uni breeding time...

But I'll get you guys links first.

MaidenAtMidnight has 5 trot wins! Now 2nds or 3rds yet!

MiataManiac,
I usually breed back to a pure at least every other breeding if not every breeding. Sometimes I breed my crosses together but I find it helps further my project faster if I breed my cross to a purebred. I most often rotate between the 2 breeds so my crosses stay 25/75. they flip breed every breeding.

kalon,
no one is advertising here, a lot of us are showing off our newest advances but we are not trying to sell them just sharing our acomplishments with eachother. We have all worked hard on our crosses and we are proud of them. If you need advice all you have to do is ask and every one of us will be happy to give you advice, to the best of our ability. If we don't know the answer then most likely it's not about cross breeding.

And of course I jinxed myself and she has 2 2nds. Oh well.....
