I told my friend in real life that I cross breed on howrse, and she said even though it's a game, it's still wrong. I don't care what she thinks, though.

crossbreeding is not wrong.. how do you think the current breeds came about.. humans crossbred horses with certain traits to get other certain traits..

all horses / ponies are from the family Equine!!!

Ok, I seem to have screwed up somewhere, and since this is the thread for crossbreds, what on earth do you do to blup if the horse only has 2 top skills? I've got 3 bolded for her (the 3 that should have been her top skills), but she's still only at about 25 blup...

Do you thunk she's a good Anglo Arab foal? Cali

deidara, do you have a link to the horse in question? Maybe we can take a look and see what's up...

Well then I'm not sure how to do links. I followed the instructions in a forum, but I'm a little slow at the html game. All my Sweet Sixteens are in my Special Projects tab, at least the ones I'm currently working with.

What a cutie she is!

I love the new ponies and their coats - gotta breed a good one soon so I can put SHL's gorgeous Fjord GA on it.

And I had a lovely surprise this morning - one of my mares gave me this little brute. I was going for a six-skiller, and managed to get a twofer in the process!

Cryfenril AMAZING! I wan her

Hello everyone!

I've found out that crossbreeding is so much fun!
I like it a way more better than breeding pure horses... It's just boring. Every one of them is the same...

I've started a project, I'm working on it for weeks now... (an awful long process of training and blupping...)
I've reached a part, where it seems that I'm close to what I want

I want to make a crossbreed that has almost equal amount of genetic points in everything, except dressage. (somewhat like divine horse genetics) Also I want it to have the friesian coat as dominant. (it's beautiful <3 and yay they changed it to a new one, and thats a wonder)

Well it's a pretty slow process, and I know they don't have so many skills, but its hard to work alone

I've made an affix for them called "Divine Cavalry"

So far the horses:

I have 2 new foals too. They need many games to reach a higher GP than the parents... *sigh* they borned with a bit lover traits, even though it was a 100 BLUP breed)

The foals according to the parents will have around 7-7.5 stars in everything.
(The parents borned with 0 inborn skills, because I havent fully blupped the parents, but now I'll blup every one of them)

For the next stepps I want to lower dressage a bit, and make speed a bit higher.
Btw It's pretty easy to blup them, they can beat pure 1000 skilled friesians in races that isn't their main skills

Also they appeared amongst the top in skills not common to friesians.

What do you think about them so far?

Cryfenril: Your horse is almost like the one I want to reach with breeding
Nice one!
I'm still working on to make the skills more and more closer to each other.

I like him <3

That sounds like a fun project, Ayaveen. Maybe breeding with a double-all star friesian dominant could boost overall skills and still keep the friesian dominant genetics? They look like lots of fun and a nice challenge.

Kitsune, I love the colt! His coat is beautiful and his IBS are great! I have never seen an all-star mustang before...

Sunny2901 thanks i don't know how i did it i just wanted him to have a few trotting * so i added standerbred and well you saw what happned

Thank you Ayaveen!

Fries are a great crossbreeding staple because of their high dressage and trot - and the new Fjords will also bring some speed into the mix too, which is one place the Fries are sorely lacking.

The simplest six-skilled Frie crosses are usually a staight fifty-fifty mix of Frie and Hano, but adding other breeds in will bump up things like speed (Paints), stamina (Arabians), and a little more GP (Hunters). Balancing out the new blood without losing the trot is usually the biggest challenge.

I have several lines of Frie six-skilled crosses - the major ones being Kobalt Dynasty, The Big Blue Line, and the new Little Twin Stars group. They are a joy to work, easy to BLUP, and have gorgeous dressage for EC bumping. I think you'll really enjoy working on lines of your own, and always come share your successes in the thread so we can drool over your new kids!

kistune, lemme know when Seto is grown - I may be begging for some covers from that one!

Cryfenril i will post when he's done and thanks glad to here he may do well in covering (well for you at lest )

I'v decided to start some crossbreeding so I covered my frisian foundie mare wit a fjord. The foal probably will not have super skills or stars or something but it's only a fun experiment.

Billionaire
I cant remeber if I posted him since I finished him so here he is again! He was really fun to BLUP,as are all six skilled QHs!

Oooh I love him itunes Though his speed isnt magnificent I still love him

Thanks chicken! I used to be obbsessed with high speed too!

kitsune>> I looked at Seto and I really like him. Yeah, he'll probably do good in coverings & such. I would definitely take one because of his speed. Glorious speed

my new beauty of an anglo

i'm thinking of trying to improve my crossbreeds tort skills, what horses shall i use?

the secret to cross breeding - my daughter told me- is to pick one of your best horse and breed it with a good stallion but you have to advertise for all owners in the breeding negogations like a breed Thoroughbred

Standardbreds improve trot.
