I found Selle x TB the best for comps, with TB dominant.
Check out Wall Street, only 13 years with 220 wins.

Just finished Fall From Grace!!

It only took me three days default smiley (lol) But every time I wanted to start him I knew I wouldn't have time to finish, so I had to keep putting him off. But not anymore! He'll come up as #1 Trot, #1 Dressage and #4 Gallop for the Fjord ranking. Not too shabby.

Made a custom foal for a friend. Rather interesting how Trot is the highest lowest skill lol instead of stamina.

Now down to 23 cross mares to retire.

Dur dur durs. I meant how Trot is the lowest skill. My brain is fried I guess.

Well, bred another test bred foal.

Test

Considering how stiff Dressage comps and and the layout of the main 3 skills, not sure this is a cross I want to pursue lol It would be one thing to drop say Stamina and Jump some more and improve Gallop and Trot. But I'll have to think on it.

What breeds should I cross to get a good pony in show-jumping?
By Retired breeder, 17th September 2017 20:41:26

I've done a Standardbred/QH cross that has gallop as one of the top 3 and trot as 4th skill. Nice crosses, if you want to try that to get higher gallop and trot.
By Retired breeder, 17th September 2017 20:42:25

Newfoundland dominant/KWPN maybe?

What would be a good show jumping cross with a Shetland pony?
By RunNRide25, 18th September 2017 00:53:39

Other breeds with the showjumping skill set are Selles, KWPNs, Morgans, and Austrailian Ponies. So maybe one of those?

Been working on blupping this guy - he's got the highest GP out of my horses under my Desert Sands Crosses affix, and I'm anxious to get some good foals!

I don't want Trot too high which is why I was picking breeds that had Trot as a secondary skill. But I think it's actually the Selle that is messing up my project since Jump is so high. So I think I need maybe a TB/Standi instead. Or a Crio/Standy even.

But this does make me think of a possible Stamins skiller once I BLUP my newest breeders.

@Gatlin
Trot is about 100 less than gallop, and the results are the same with TB/Standardbreds. default smiley ;)

I do have some pretty random crosses. It's going to be interesting to figure out what to do with them when they get to breeding age. default smiley (lol)

Does anyone know of a good Appaloosa dominant cross that would be good in dressage?

I've done a Standardbred/Appy. I'll try to get a link
By Retired breeder, 21st September 2017 07:31:55
Tear bred another foal. This kind is my usual breeder so I don't intend to keep him.

Thinking I need to let go of the Selle/Lusi I bred to fund a different breeder female lol Just haven't determined what yet.

My Appaloosa x Thoroughbred cross is still doing well.
Purple Pizzazz still holds the number 1 spots in skills for Apps, as well as number 1 for gallop skills.

And my Shetland x Thoroughbred Blast Off Bronze still holds number 1 for Shetland gallop skills. He's not ranked very well in much else, but I just bred him so I could place a pony GA coat on himdefault smiley (lol)
