Hi, does anyone have any examples of Arabian crosses?

I am mostly interested in seeing what these look like:

Arabian / Criollo

Arabian / Tennessee Walker

Arabian / Lipizzan

I would be interested in seeing any other cool Arabian crosses, especially ones that are good at winning heaps of competitions.

What breeds are great in stamina and speed?
I'm trying to cross with a Lusitano mare for skills, but I'm not sure where to find breed stats, if there is such a thing. Thanks!

I have been breeding Arabian/Barb crosses and they do well in Western pleasure. the barb does not have very high gp right now so the arab gives them a boost mine are up to 8200gp but they are winning 30+ comps not sure if that is high enough for you. im going to continue and try to get them up to 10k gp

My Fjords carry St/Sp/Dress as their top skills. Hard to find a good stud in public sometimes but it's easier than it used to be.

good crosses with lusitanos for western comps? have already done lusitano/nokota and pretty pleased with the result, but interest in other combinations.

I am trying to breed my mix bred ageing point foals to make a super mixed horse.

Lusi/Vanner, Lusi/Selle, and Lusi/PSH are all fun and not hard to get competitve GPs with.

My Lusi/Vanners usually have either Selle or Nokota in them too. The Selle tends to work out better than the Nokota. Attempting to lean the line away from Vanner as I get frustrated Blupping Vanner dominant bloodlines.

thank you so much avanderloop! i was considering lusi/vanner but blup'ing vanners seems daunting LOL. luci/selle and luci/psh sound like good ideas, i was going to see if i could get a luci/friesian/vanner foal but i'd probably have to do friesian dominant with the vanner cross

actually, i was curious with friesian crosses, i've seen some great friesan/lusi crosses but i was interested if anyones had success with other crosses?

Does anyone have a crossbred drum with another draft horse? Mainly looking for a female but a male would do. If it doesnt belong here tell me as I am new to this posting thing.

there are lots in the sales! just search for draft species and then click the dropdown to find the purity and double click to exclude purebreds

xbred drafts are an interesting thought!

I started into crossbreeding as a way to get all the breeds for the trophies as it's cheaper than the sales. But I have noticed some of those foals are much better than their mothers in comps. Are there any specific breeds that do well for Kerry Bog ponies or Welsh? I would also possibly be interested in Knapstrupper.
Thanks for any advice you can give! I've been here a long time and never really looked into the world of crosses

kerries and welsh are both gallopers! theyd go well with tbs, qhs, psh, or appaloosas!

i've noticed that lusi x appy is a deadly combo :c

What has everyone been crossing their TB's with to excel in Western Comps? Just looking for something to breed my older mares to for some fun

I myself have only really delved into purebreds but if I ever decide to cross breed, which I probably will, this seems like a really cool forum to check out. One thing I'm interested to know is; does cross breeding increase their ability in competitions? I feel like giving a foal the abilities of two very different breeds could be interesting but I'm not sure how that would work.

What breed would be great to crossbreed with Purebred Spanish Horse?

they're gallopers, definitely tb, some of the highest skilled pshs were psh/tb crosses for a while

quarter horses and appies are also decent!

Is there a breed to cross with TBs that would win a lot of rosettes?

Definitely Appaloosas. You're improving the speed GP of the Thoroughbred while getting the good gallop the TBs have.

This is a TBxAppy cross I bred. It's way outdated now so it won't win rosettes anymore, but it won some at the time. He could have won more but in the time it took me to blup his mom, get a cover for her and then skill him, the top GP of TBs and/or Appies did a huge jump, so he didn't have as long to stay on top of the rankings like I thought he would.

What would be a good cross for curlies? I'm trying to get a high gp rosette monster curly, in western comps.

Also, any tips for Lusi crosses to get wins in western?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, with the oddball skillset and genetic distribution that Curlies have(stamina, trot and speed in that order), and their overall lower GP compared to other horses, you'd have to breed quite a few generations of crosses in order to get the GP up enough to compete with the other breeds in rosette comps.

I calculated the GP you'd get if you bred the #1 T.Walker and Curly together for an estimate (I picked the Walker because the Curly's 4th best skill is dressage, so Western Pleasure seemed like the best target), but with a simple direct cross you'd still only have a stamina GP of 2803, dressage GP of 2173 and trot at 2666. You'd have to breed many generations in order to catch up to the top Western Pleasure horses.

Just a random cross I did for an objective. Not half bad I think.

That is a good cross. If you take suggestions, I say it would be interesting to see how it would turn out breeding it to a Lipizzan. It could end up doing very well in Reining

Twister

A little obsessed with Pasos right now. Here's a cross I bought and surprise! he's a reiner when I'm getting used to thinking of Pasos as Trailers and Cutters. I want to repeat him with a higher GP. Got to figure out how now.

Hiya! I've thus far stuck to purebreds, but I have a Friesian stallion I absolutely love and I want to try playing with his genetics. What do you guys suggest combining with Friesian for western comps?
