Ozrider WOw nice!!
Just picked up this little guy in the private sales: http://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=9763909

I'm hoping he will turn out well as a stud for my TB cross for a more versatile thoroughbred venture. It's no longer just an idea - thanks to my stumbling across this thread - 'cause I've started buying horses. Too late to back out now! Haha.

I also picked up an awesome (IMHO) pure TB mare with 20 stars and 715 current skills. She's BLUPed but only bolded in her top three, and has two training bars not even started. So if I breed her right she should have some good foals, knock on wood!

I also have a little TB/arab cross filly I picked up way back when I first started thinking seriously about this, and a pure TB colt with 13 stars.

Plus, I might not need to get many Hanos, since I'm going to take the advice I've recieved here and at least use them as a starting point for crossing. I have a few that have been sitting around, not getting worked on, because I didn't really have a reason to do so, but I wasn't ready to let go of them. Now I'm glad I didn't. They're not spectacular, but they'll be good for crossing, I think.

And, per usual, my short post turns out being long. Oops.
I guess I'll get to my question, then. And I know I've asked pretty much the same thing before, but it's 5 AM and I'm having trouble getting it through my thick head. If I were to breed a pure TB mare to a crossbred something else, I would get a TB, correct?

Depends on how much Tb the cross has if it's 50% then yep you would get a Tb
Hmm... So I wouldn't get a TB breeding a pure mare to a 50% Hano, 25% IH, 25% TB?

You would get the following genetics in the foal
62.5% TB
25% Hano
12.5% IH
Yes, I believe that is how it would work. So TB dominant by a long shot. Be sure to tell us how the foal turns out!

All I have to do now is wait for my Palomino's comps to run.

BeMyValentine

Thanks! She is a wonderful mare and I am thinking of keeping her and using her as a comp horse. But if I ever do I will defnetly PM ya!
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:17:55
Hey, Cherokee, how much do you think she is worth? I just don't know what to price her at.default smiley *-)
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:19:47
Ummm...... since she doesn't have a stone she's not worth to much.default smiley :(
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:22:11
Oops! I forgot to put one on her. I have one for her I just haven't noticed she didn't have it yet.default smiley :$
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:22:16

rancher>>this mare??
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:25:42
Your welcome! I am hoping to get the first 6 star skilled Shettie
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:27:03
I'll hope with you. Getting a 6 star Shettie would be cool.
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:30:36
I think I will because I am bolting that Shettie I posted above who is just missing a trot star and breeding to BeMyValentine.
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:32:25
I'm thinking of doing Marwari crosses...should I? I don't know what skill to focus on yet or what to cross it with but for sure I'm doing Marwaris. I love their coats
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:32:29
I will cross my fingers for you, Cherokee.
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:33:24
Thanks Sunny! If this darn Shettie would just get the wins I would already have the foal!!!
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:34:45
Okay, I'm going to cross with mustangs. (Marwaris) I'm going to try and get onto the boards a speed marwari, I only need to get 215 skills for speed.
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:49:35
Yes she now has 18 wins!!! Come on girl!
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:55:38
Congrats CHerokee,hope the foal turns out nice!
By Retired breeder, 7th June 2010 14:57:05
