I’d like my horse Nukhri to reach 1000 wins (total)(he’s at 300 now)


That's a good goal! It is definitely a struggle to get to that point.

I assume you meant dabbling, not dabbing, lol.
They are XC horses (Lusitano is the main breed and they do well in breed-specific) obviously, Dressage is their best skill. Mine are still in training, you’re welcome to take a look default smiley :)

Nukhri is a 14500+ skill Marwari/TB who does amazing in medium level dressage (he’s only 31 with 320 wins, almost 200 of which are Dressage)


They look rather tough to get wins with. I may or may not try them. I am mostly looking at horses that can have low gp and still win or do decent.

I bred the original cross with unBLUPed horses, which is why they’re not doing so great in comps... they’d probably make good target Reiners

Looks like a great cross! If only your foal has higher GP...


I don't really bother with GP. Especially when it comes to Morgans. They're a less popular breed and thus have a lower GP that's open to the public.

That looks like a nice foal there.

Yeah. I have a skiller with the same cross and about 200 lower GP and he’s great! (No Rosettes yet though default smiley xd)
I need some help here.

I need a Fri dominant cross with the following requirements

-High GP
-Stamina is lowest skill
-Dressage and Jumping are highest


Any ideas? I used to use Fri x KWPN but KWPN is so low on GP offering right now its impossible.

Selle maybe? They do show jumping.
Got my newest cross mostly done…Jedidiah is 3 wins away from all 20. I was going through my horses, putting them in the Grand Prix when i came across an older cross of mine that is the same as Jedidiah (Lusitano/Gypsy Vanner) and found that he had won a lot of Western Pleasure comps. Wanted to update the GP and i've blupped my first 15k skilled cross!!

He looks great! Also, the top Morgan team offers cross-breeding. You just have to get in touch with the admin or whoever is in charge and tell them you would like a cross-bred covering. They've helped me out before and i go to them for any Morgan coverings i want.

Since I breed Morgans myself, I breed with my own stock to try to save money. But that's always good to know default smiley :)

What comps do Morgans do? Would they make good crosses with Marwaris or TBs?
Is there anyone out there with similar crosbreeding programs?

Pony breed: Shetland crossed with Lusitano, Gypsy Vanner, Selle Francais

Riding horse: Arabian crossed with Irish Hunter, Lipizzan, Lusitano, and Thoroughbred

I have found that these crosses tend to due well in Cross-country and Jumping competitions, but always looking for fresh bloodlines to infuse into the program. I'm also open to others thoughts on the program with the possibility of tweaking it to make it better.

Oof.
Me like. Isis was kind enough to give me five so I've chosen to keep this one.
Can't hope to compete with the teams but I'm interested to see her results.

Kelvi

Kelvi's getting an early start. Love my Trail kids! default smiley :)
So I've been breeding gypsians (friesian and vanner) and their stamina is decent. When I choose western, they do well in Western Pleasure, but what would I show them as in Classical? My laptop died and is currently charging so I am unable to post a link. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
