Hi
I'm new to crossbreeding and have been told to experiment!
What exactly is good and whats not so good?

Please PM me the answer

ilovebessie, I have a thread in my EC's forum specifically for those who want to sell their crossbred wonders. If you'd like to post some for sale there, I'd love to have you!

I produced a pair of these this morning and am excited to see how they turn out in the comps. Plus, I think their cross potential is good too, with those huge skills in speed, gallop, and dressage!

They be pretty

cassie, what's "best" is based upon the results you want. If you want an unusual skill in a given breed (like a super-fast Friesian), you'd cross to improve that skill. If you want allstars or six-skillers, you'd match up breeds that balance one another out.

I crossed Irish Hunter and Fresian, I got a pretty good well rounded Fresian Stallion, will be crossing him with my Throughbred Filly once she grows up to bring up the Speed. But I'm already up with the 21* Fresians with my cross breed.

Now, do crossbreds tend to get higher stars then pures or vice versa? I'm considering crossing but I'm just curious for now. Like I'm sure it depends on the stars of the family and all that jazz, but I am truely curious....

Carrie- It depedns on what horse you decide to cross. Some crosses have better stars than purebreds(Peruvian Pasos)but they are harder to get. if you really want one of the top gp horses you have to know math to know if your going to get that breed you want. Most of the time you have 5+ horses in the horse. I know Pasos are hard becuase my breeding partners and I "run" Determined Pasos and we don't get that many foals that are Paso. It takes forever to get one you like.


sorry I got overboard.

Someone has posted in negotiations that they want a horse with ALL breeds in it.. I'm pretty sure that is impossible.. it is, isn't it?

It's not technically, I don't think, but only 5 will show up.

This is my latest crossbredSolar Flare I'm planning on breeding her, when she's old enough, to one of my TB's.

Only 5 will show up but it can have all blood lines.

Nice foals kat and General.
I picked out a GA for Suicide Blonde and gave her a ata. tack pack. She's ready for comps whenever I have time to start with her.
And thank you all for looking at her yesterday, she's the #1 QP in popularity today!

Congrats horseluver!
She still a foal? Yeah, Fireworks, when I first bred him and he was .. 2 months he made it up to 200 something in the overal popularity

What should I breed with EyeAre to get her babies into the top ten of the breed again?

I can't wait til I get a job, then I can buy passes more often.

mega - Fireworks?

chicken- She was yesterday when she made the ranking that showed today but now she's about 3.

mega, that's going to require a little bit of work, to keep the kids from falling out of the Appy breed.

The best way I can think of is to make more crossbreeds (50/50) that are dominant in the skill you want the kids to have - for example, if you want a trot-ranked horse, breed a pure Appy to a pure Standie, then breed the resultant foal back to your mare. As long as the stud is a pure Appy, and is bred to a mare of another breed, the foal should turn out Appy.

@cryfenril- I wasn't necessarily talking about appy rankings, I just like to see my horses in them =)
But I would like to breed her to an appy dominate cross that has good GP and such.

@chicken-Hmm... maybe.. I'll go look.

Fireworks isn't Appy, he has no part Appy.

Haha, I like him though, I may use him for a breeding in the near future. =)

Ooh okay. I am blupping one of my fillys that is just like him and breed them together, hopefully a 28 star I will get??

i want to do cross breeding, what breeds are good crosses?

Thanks horselover!

Rainbow- All horses make good crosses. I would start with a breed you train most so you know what your doing.
