If you must make a trot comper, would it be possible to ask you to be cautious of other teams blupping in low trots

Sorry, I only enter a few years at a time to not totally clog the comps. Otherwise he would be about 50 already and no comps open

They are kinda clogged already

I've recently been working on breeding some of my horses. Here are the resulting foals. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out Now to figure out what specialty to put them in

In the eyes of many

Two new babies -

Akhal Teke x Arabian 10200 skills, should take top ranking today!

Crossed her with a Gypsy x Highland to produce;

Angel Delight! Very happy with him but hoping to obtain Morpheus Arms before I begin training.

Hello ^_^

I'm fairly new to crossbreeding. If you cross two purebreds, is the foal not supposed to take the dams breed? For instance, I just crossed a PSH sire and a PP dam but the foal turned out to be a PSH. Wasn't it supposed to be PP dominant?

^^ in a cross of 2 purebreds, the foal is the breed of the father.

-_-

Thanks!

Any suggestions for a western cross?

Wow I love those combos - very very nice!
The stud has some interesting skills as well. Given a little tweak I think that might be something I can use to cross something else... maybe

*goes number crunching.

some times I'm an airhead-
I send a cover to the wrong mare, but got this peculiar little thing

Might be useful for some of my crosses. We'll see

Can someone please explain IBS skill gain to me again, and how to assess whether or not it was a + or - gain (and any other ins-and-outs of it to consider when breeding).

Thanks.

[{mom gp + dad gp}*.15=avg inborns]* 1.04= max inborns

So how does;
- GP gain
- Skills of the parents
- Parental BLUP

Come into question? Does each of the above affect only IBS or GP gain, or both?

Skills of the parents have no effect at all on the foal. Only GP and Blup do.

The formula Horsebabe91 posted relies on your horse having 100 Blup. I can't remember what the calculation is if you're not using 100 blup, but if I'm going for good IBS I never breed with less than 100 blup anyway so I don't bother remembering that one.

Most of the time I'm too lazy to bother calculating the IBS for myself so I use the handy-dandy Howrse Calculator to do it for me. You can check off whether you're using Tears or not.

Just out of curiosity; does anyone have a crossbreed where they have attempted to breed all horse types together?

A few players have.
United As One is my all-breed horse that I bred last year.

It's a fun project if you ever want to try it sometime!

Just produced this little beauty.
I'm working on Knabstrupper dominant cross breeds. Going to start breeding them together and slowly raising their Gp.

I had stolen Legacy Ann's idea and did it myself, but I didn't put anywhere near the effort into it and I ended up with this horse called Duchess. She's not super magnificent and competitions are a struggle, so she's more of a personal ornament than any significant achievement.

Also, above @Legacy Ann and @Horsebabe91 I do thank you both for your help. I had a brain fade moment yesterday and confused myself, but it all makes sense now, thankyou.

Actually, forgive me, as I have three. You can see them here.

They each have 44 light horse and pony breeds, as you cannot mix Donkeys/Drafts/Ponies and Horses together of course.
If there are any new breeds to come out they will be covered over and new generations will appear to include them all. I might even inspire myself to remix some breeds into them and see if I can turn out a true competition all rounder. But again, that would take another few generations and a resource of aging points I don't have.

I played around a little this week.

Good week for my Friesian/Arab crosses. I'm trying them out in both Classical and Western and seeing which one they do better in. So far, there isn't a clear answer!

I did this fella yesterday in classical, who topped my other horse for 1st place in Friesian stamina and 9th overall for skills -

I did her today in Western, she should soon displace the current 7th place Friesian (who is my horse too!) in skills, and displace my boy from yesterday in Stamina -

Pretty impressed with how versatile this cross is! Looking for ideas of how to cover her, so if you have any eligible crossbred studs you'd like to try with her, shoot me a PM.

I'm pretty impressed so far with how [url=http://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=51542968] In the eyes of many[url/] has turned out. He seems to be doing pretty good so far in the rankings for the pbh.

Can someone tell me which horses are the best at trot? I'm hoping to breed with my half Selle Francais to improve the trot skill. Will this actually work?
