Cherokee Lynn (hey, can I start calling you CL?) - that's an awesome deal!
itunes9.0 - His highest skills are in stamina, dressage, and gallop, also like my mare Akeelah. She's won gallop races. So try that? Sometimes it takes a bit for a horse to start winning. My Arabian didn't start winning until I entered him in barrel races even though he's trained in cross country.
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2010 01:37:37
Sure call me Lynn or CL it doesnt matter. I know she was in sales for 5000 and I offered 2500 adn she said yes and I was like YES!!

I bought my cross mare Juliet's Tragedy for about 500e when she was just a little foal. That was probably one of my best investments ever, she threw me 7 awesome foals, two of which I kept, and now her daughter is producing beautiful foals as well.

I got my mare, Rosalind, for 1500 equus when she was like 7 and she has done me alot of good!! I would never be crossbreeding if it werent for her

I just bought a Morgan stallion that I named Radio Flyer...I think he's going to end up crossing with one of my Australian Pony fillies for a horse with high jumping skills.

I love those horses that just change the entire game for you. Juliet did that for me, because I wasn't feeling very attached to my Friesian stallion.
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2010 01:49:16
I am very attached to my stallion and will probably never sell him.

Thanks to my crossbreds i've perfected my BLUPing technique default smiley :-))
I have decided to breed tb x arab crosses and they do fantastically in gallop races default smiley :) At the moment i have up to 23* but hopefully i will get higher in the future default smiley :)
Any help would be appreciated in what the best routes to take with crossbreeding are

hey what do you think of my newest foal Poseidon?
Hi all. I've decided to try crossbreeding TBs to raise jumping skills/GP, and so that they do well in jumping and/or cross-country with the eventual goal of breeding back into a pure TB. The goal is obviously many generations down the road, but I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations on what breed or breeds to cross with the TBs?
Also, I'm a novice at this, so, here's my novice question: what determines which breed the foal will be when I crossbreed? Obviously, I'd like them to mostly be TBs. Apologies if I missed the answer to this elsewhere.

DeXMonica-When breeding a purebred to a purebred of a different breed it turns out the fathers breed,otherwise it turns the breed with the highest gp.
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2010 13:08:49
itunes is right. When you bred two purebred it takes the father's breed. If you breed to 50/50 crosses with four seperate breeds it is supposed to be the father's mother's breed. In a 75/25 cross it is the 75% breed. And for any other it is the breed with the highest % in the foal.default smiley ;)I own a mare with about 1.6 irish hunter in her and I plan on breeding out that in her babies as a fun project sometime.

Great foal Guanaco!default smiley (y)
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2010 13:33:26
I'm liking of this X-bred Brumby foal I produced

http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=10092439

He currently has more GP than the top purebred Brumbies (my first cross to achieve that barrier), although same amount of greenstars

Won't be the last produced with that mix default smiley ;)

I'm quite proud that some of my crosses that I haven't worked since last year are still highly ranked default smiley (lol)

To answer DeXMonica, it won't be the one with the highest GP, it will be the one with the most dominant gene default smiley ;)
If both parents are 100% of their own breed, then the foal will take on the sire's breed

Monty python turned out better than i had ever hoped! He's a Low comp horse , Like his mother. Im trying him out in the Grand Prix right now , Barrels was a total fail. But im hoping he does better in gallop or Trot .
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2010 15:08:31
I almost forgot to add. he's available for Private coverings ! To Any mare with 100 Blup.

I cross Mustangs, with Paints/ Purebred Spanish horses/ Arabians and Quarter horses and ponies.

They all turn out pretty well, I just produced an arabian/friesian/ PBSH/ mustang cross colt that is the rarest new colour!!! (flaxen liver chestnut)

To be plain and simple, I do not breed 'Pure Mustangs' because in RL there is no such thing as a 'pure' mustang, they are mixed blood. Mixed with spanish horses and quarters and paints. So thats What I breed. Not 'Pure' mustangs REAL mustangs default smiley :)

Anyone else a REAL mustang breeder?
