Hey, how many generations does it take to clear out a breed of a horse starting at 50% of a horse? (did that make sense? lol)

Like... a 50/50 cross and you want to make it purebred again? It takes 8 generations. Make sure you are breeding to purebreds though.

Not sure, but chicken is probably right. If you <follow the rules its more fun>

Ah, I'm not doing any simple cross... muy dificil. Er, it's getting a very strange cross and then breeding it to a Tb/Paint and continueing to do that down the generations until it is completely Tb/Paint again. That's the simplified version. Thanks though, I think the 8 generation should be right.

Gahh

I need an a pack to compete my mare D<

Oh.. but I don't know if I am doing my calculations right. Math is not my forte. Basically, I want to alter a Tb/Paint. So theoretically: I am going to breed a normal Tb/Paint with a certain mix. I then breed back to Tb/Paint. The mix will then be altered because of the other mix put in it, correct? I say this because of what we have seen with those purebreds that have mixed heritage(to gain huge GP) and have altered stats, I've checked. So.. how to I calculate the genetic outcome of this? (using the base genetics of each breed, I don't care about parent's genetics, I'm going for general stats)

8 generations is right. I experimented it.

I'm sorry. I forgot you can't advertise..

...And I killed the forum.

Naw, it just stops like this. I might have scared everyone away with the word "math" too, lol. But seriously, if anyone can help me please PM me.

I just had a crossie fail -.-''

Huh? Show me liza

It's because her fjord blood, I think I just breed a 6* fjord cross (I'm kind of proud)

It's nothing to do with the fjord, I've bred some super fjord crosses. It's because the parents ain't fully blupped. It will make a good trade horse

Did't notice that, thats important though

she is being sold, kinda dissapointed so i dont want her

Get both parents fully blupped and you will see a huge difference. Theres just no point what so ever in breeding horses that ain't full blup....it's a total waste of time.

That isnt compleatly true i have got some good foal that werent fully bulp'ed

I bred this guy and his mother wasnt fully bulp'ed and i think he turned out ok

I agree with both of you, you can get good foals out of non fully bluped parents but even better ones out of fully bluped ones
Anyone want to try breeding all-stared Fjords?

Okay, I have to leave now (going riding maybe even on a fjordy)

I will give it ago i have to fjord atm, 1 purebred filly and 1 stallion who is a cross with 4 stars i think

Each to their own, but most breeders want horses from fully blupped parents. Same with coverings from stallions, most breeders won't touch a stally that isn't fully blupped. Unless they are clueless about breeding. As mingy says you always get the best results from fully blupped parents. It all depends if you want to make equus from your breeding. If your happy not making equus and having less than average horses, do what makes you happiest

Well i speak for myself but i make i fair bit of money from horses that are not always fully blup'ed but maybe that is just me
