Newfie/Walker if you want to hit the boards or have an amazing trail competitor.
Or something like a KWPN cross that is high dressage and target the cross country comps.

And I'd be interested in the team idea

Hi crossbreeders!
Do you guys know of a good Icelandic Horse mix I could breed for fun?
Thanks! default smiley ^)
By Retired breeder, 14th February 2017 00:33:39
@wildwild,
I'd recommend Thoroughbreds, because their top skills are also Speed, Dressage, and Gallop. On US Howrse, a Thoroughbred Icelandic cross once won the prix for Gallop. Of course, it doesn't have to be that serious, but that is still a strong choice. Those skills can become reinforced if you breed both together.

The Icelandic Horse's top skills are Stamina, Dressage and Trot and mixing with a Thoroughbred will even and flat out the skills, that may be what you want but there are other breeds with a Stamina/Dressage/Trot skill set (Standardbred and Friesian I believe?) which may work slightly better if you are looking to improve the skill.

What are the best horses for cutting and barrel races? I need a few good breeds, best ranked please.
By Retired breeder, 14th February 2017 02:13:22
PM Me with more info plz
By RunNRide25, 14th February 2017 03:01:55


The two barrel race breeds are mustangs and mawaris, with mustangs being the prix breed (and the best fit skill order wise).

Cutting horses are Quarter ponies, Argentinian Criollos, and Fjords, with Criollos being the prix breed, and both Criollos and Quarter ponies being the best fit skill order wise.

What about thoroughbreds, quarter horses, paints and Gypsy vanner... Where do they all fit in here?
By Kiyomice, 14th February 2017 06:54:16


Thoroughbreds: Best Gallop Breed
Gypsy Vanners: Best Cross-Country Breed

Quarter Horses: Good at Reining and Gallop *but not the best
Paints: Good at Gallop *but not the best

Once Ive got some good breeding mares I am looking into finding a good breed to cross with my appaloosas. Any suggestions?

Same tune, different player default smiley :p

It depends on what you're goal is.

Im trying to get more well rounded skillers for competing outside of just gallops

¿Donde esta mi gato? has finished out the day with just 4 XC wins. Have about 20 left to run. Really excited to see what he has in the morning.

He also has a full-blooded sister that I am planning on breeding to a Freisian x Gypsy Vanner out of curiosity.

What would happen if I crossed Mustang+Thoroughbred+GypsyVanner?
By Retired breeder, 15th February 2017 12:12:51
Starset (#4 TB Team) is cross friendly, if anyone needs a cover. Just ask me or Crown of Thorns.

I've taken a small break from the game for personal reasons, but it's time a came back. That said, I should have my second gen. Fry/Selle soon.
By AVH Lover, 15th February 2017 12:15:09


Ok, so I see that you are breeding 50/50s together to make a second gen. Quick question. If I breed, let's say an Arab/TB to another, how do I make sure the foal is the dominant breed of the parents?
