HellOw!

If you like to cross-breed, this is the place for you!

On this topic, you can discuss your crossbreeding programs, share your secrets, and advise other players about it.

Compare different crosses with the ones from other players, and brag about your achievements in crossbreeding.

It's not allowed to advertise horse sales!

The forum rules and the game rules also apply.

Have fun sharing!

A lot of teams will say on their team pages whether they're crossbreed friendly or not.

That one is quite nice! The several I have bred are only higher in two of their genetics rather than 3 like that.

Voyager is my best so far, but I'm in the middle of a current project that should turn out much better since I broke down and scraped up some higher GP horses to use.

@sherwood
Thank you! The coat is either The Black Lady or The Dark Lady. I'm on my phone now so I can't really check. It was from one of the last two releases so if you filter by date you should find it pretty quicklydefault smiley :)

Keep, help me figure out what to beach in. This guy. I cannot decide


I'd say Speed. I'd think if Dressage was closer, it might work too, but personally...I'd go with Speed.

I would like to get dressage over 2000 but I feel like it would be better "for him" to do speed, so I'm going to go with that.
Okay breed % question alert!!

If i have an equal four way cross (25% in Arab/TB/SF/NF) and i breed to a SF/NF (50% NF/SF), what would the breed percents be? Obviously SF/NF is going to be dom but what are the specific percents for the breeds? Thanks!

You would have to add them and divide by two.

So Arab and TB would be 12.5% (since there is only one number of those, just divide by two). SF and NF would be 37.5%. I believe. I may be wrong on those percentages, but I'm pretty sure that's what it would be. And then I believe the breed would be the one that is listed second on the father (so if the father is SF/NF, the foal would be NF).

Hey guys. I have started breeding pure bred freisans, but Gypsy Vanners probably would of been a better breed to go with because so many people breed the. I love my frezzies anyway, especially Firefly. Dont have any good stallions so I am training one that I got for 500 in a wish list forum in an EC. Should I continue mixing in Gypsy blood? I could use a Gypsy stallion with a Frezzy mare and then breed the foal to the frezzy stallion when it gets older (if it is a girl) and then have higher GP but then it would be a frezzy? What do you think? Should I breed to a different breed?

I want it to be a frezzy. Oh and a frezzy is freisan.

As far as what you "should" do, we probably can't help you much because that's all a matter of opinion. But, to answer your question if you breed a Gypsy to a Friesian, then breed that foal back to the Friesian you will get a Friesian foal (it will be 75% Friesian and 25% Gypsy). The GP could be higher assuming you picked a good stallion (as Gypsies are one of the if not the highest GP Breed on this server), but their skill set isn't the same as a Friesian's so you'd probably lose in trot (but gain in jump).

Another option you could consider would be Tennesse Walkers. They have the same top 3 skills as Friesians, and there are a good number of high GP ones out there because of the demand for the Grand Prix.
