The link you provided was for a Kerry Bog horse. If you want to do a TB cross you would do it with something like and Appaloosa or paint. This is an example of a lower appaloosa corss. He does really well in gallop competitions!

Typical me- a total technophobe

Thank you for your help though! I'm looking forward to playing about with crossbreeding n the future

I am just getting started in cross breeding. I purchased a high skill / high GP mare, what breed would be a good breed to cross her with to get the highest skill level foal?

Thank you!!

She is a Selle ^^^ forgot to mention the most important aspect lol

I have a couple questions about what the best way to cross breed is, I tried it out this morning after reading some of the comments made in this post, and I was successful, but I'm not really sure what the benefits are other than, at least for me, getting the breed I've been wanting without having to pay for a huge sum.

So, is this a better way to:
Get skilled foals?
Have a wide variety of breeds?
Get rare coats?
Can you get anything exclusive from this?

Hope I'm not being to annoying!

No worries!!

Get skilled foals? --- Biggest advantage, specially with breeds that do not have the highet GP available.

Have a wide variety of breeds? --- Could be instead of buying all the breeds/colors for no less than 1500e sometimes you can just get a cover for 500e

Get rare coats? --- not sure

Can you get anything exclusive from this? --- fro breeds with a low GP than the most used breeds its a big advantage. you can win easily competitions if the foal is born as the breed that has the lowest GP. Can make winning Rosettes within breed competitions easy, which if you plan and skill smart you can actually win enougt Rosettes to make the top 50 in "Most Rosettes won this month" and unlock VIP status (still have to pay 10 monthly passes to use it)

Does anyone have a higher GP Shetland pure cover? I just about finished my selle and I need a cover. Or does anyone know about any Shetland teams open to crosses?

I was thinking about doing Quarabs. Any thoughts ?

Finally got my Shetland cross I couldn't be happier

So I'm making my comeback (take 2) to Howrse and although my love has always been in crossbreeding, I'm having difficulties picking a breed - is it weird that I still miss the old horse templates?

Here's my first official Marwari since the start of last year. Ngl I'm excited to see how she does on the boards tomorrow!
Alchemy - Marwari/Selle cross

Howdy All!

I breed Pintaloosa's (paintxAppy) !

I couldn't be happier with the higher gp/skills foals that ive recently bred.

Welp, I am thrilled with this feller.

830-ish overall skills Elite ranking
236 Elite Gypsy Vanner
3 Speed Gypsy Vanner
1 Jumping Gypsy Vanner

This horse has also earned me my very first rosette!!! To top it off, he is also my very first high skill comp winner as well as he earned me not one, but two rosettes. He is also very very useful for multiple competitions. I have found him to be good at Gallop, awesome at XC, and decent at a few Western comps. If anyone wants a covering, let me know!

Brother and sister ranked 5th and 6th on the Shetland leaderboard in speed! I can't wait to breed them together! Not too bad for my first serious project!

I've done a KWPN/Selle cross before (with KWPN dominant) and it worked out pretty well. Plus it's usually pretty easy to find high GP KWPN covers

Interesting idea

What dominance Arabian or Quarter?

I kind of want to do something with TB's... maybe Highland Ponies.... I don't have any for myself.... maybe let me know if you have other ideas or want to start

xx

after a long break from cross breeding i am back to try again
with summer coming up and the other half not going to be around very much as being a farmer he will be busy means alot of time for me to work on my cross horses

Looking for the following combinations to cover some mares

Thoroughbred X Trakehner
Thoroughbred X Arabian X Appaloosa
Icelandic X KWPN X Lusitano
Halflinger X Appaloosa
Appaloosa X Shetland X Arabian
Crillo X Paint X Mustang X Appaloosa X QH X QP (or any combination of those breeds)
Russian Don X Thoroughbred X Arabian
Mustang X Friesan


Negative GP stallion?

Does anyone have a blupped, high GP Marwari cross that hasn't got any Selle in it? I need a covering for this girl

Reminder to all.

^^ From the main post for this topic.

What is a good Gallop Speed combo with

TB

being one of the breeds?

Appaloosa x Thoroughbred is probably the best. Appies have the high speed, and TBs have the gallop. It's a good one to win rosettes with.

Another question, I have a Gypsy Vanner mare that is pretty skilled, and can win rosettes in the lower level comps. If I want to breed a rosette winning foal, in any competition, what breed should I breed her with?

Thank you!!

Which breed excels in Trot and Gallop?

thanks in advance
