Ok, thank you.

How would one go about starting to breed crossbreeds for comps?

It would depend on what you would want the horse to do well in.

Looking to do one that does well in Cross Country

Arab x Vanner are the best for this. Make sure Arab is the dominant breed so purchase a Vanner mare and cover her with an Arab stallion. ALWAYS get the highest possible GP available in sales and covers.

Check out the horses in my favourites box at the top of my presentation page. They're all Arab x Vanners.

My team, Umbra Daemonum, is available to offer coverings!

If you need a 100% blup Tennessee Walker covering message me.

our Top male is 18707.58 GP.

I will also be doing some experimenting with Vanner x Walker crosses!

Also, Longest Ride, I will definitely experiment with the Arab x Vanner cross as well.
I am excited to try this out

One more thing, Anyone know if TR, #1 Vanner team, is crossbreeding friendly?

Last Cover...

So, since it's her last cover...I'll let you guys make suggestions. Also..

My Gypsy Vanner team is cross friendly...we're around 19, 515 in GP...

The Legacy Project is really making some progress at the moment. I have been solely focusing on comping my 3 ranking horses. I am about 500 wins short of having all three in the top 100 and about 40ish wins short of having one in the top 50. I really feel like I am making some good progress towards my goal of one in the top 10!

Congrats!!

I've never crossbred before but I'm suddenly interested in it. What would you cross with TBs?

Is there a Discord server for howrse crossbreeding? This forum seems dead, and I'm not getting anywhere...I have tons of mares to breed, and cross studs are very difficult to find in publics...

I have quite a few crossbred studs, of varying breeds and GPs.

No idea but I'd be interested in joining/creating one

Do it. AVH, Do it!

I would be intersted in joining as I can not find out how to work a server on there.

I just created a Discord server!!! Here's the link to join

I'm starting to gather horses to act as the foundations from my Arab-Haflinger project.

Here's what I'm starting with:
Haflingers:
Lowest: 12,517.68
Highest: 13,450.73

Arabs:
Lowest: 18,816.85
Highest: 18,855.41

I'm not quite sure how far this cross will go as the Arabian and Haflinger's skill sets are identical in regards to the strengths and weaknesses in them.

If, in the probably very likely event, that I need to add a third breed into this breeding project what breed should I add?

Since they are going to be of the Haflinger breed they'll be put into the Western discipline, but since they have very similar skill sets I'm a bit worried that Speed and Trot will take a heavy hit

I've started a 'well rounded' project; I'm breeding howrse breeds together that have the top skills and making a 'breed' that had a skill set that doesn't have any low skills and can theoretically do well in both disciplines and in all competitions.

Here's the breeds I'm starting with:
Stamina: Teke/Canadian (1,654.96)
Speed: Fjord (1,654.96)
Dressage: Morgan (1,655.63)
Gallop: Marwari (1,655.63)
Trot: Paso (1,655.63)
Jumping: Shetland (1,655.63)

I would like to note that in the individual skill listed beside each horse there are 11 for stamina, 6 for speed, and two in jumping that I could have chose from, but these are the breeds that are cheap in direct sales since I feel that a project shouldn't stick you without eqqus. So these breeds are both fairly inexpensive and high quality.

I also want to note that Canadian is beside Akhal-Tekes due to the fact that they are a bit cheaper then the Tekes.

I bred out a Curly/Teke x that does very well in XC and fairly well in Cutting.

I do have a few studs in my Crossbreds - Full BLUP Studs breeding farm if anyone needs covers. All covers are "free" (as free as possible)

what would be the best to cross with quarter horses?

What would the best breed be to cross with a Lusitano if you want them to do better in dressage comps? I was thinking of maybe a French Trotter or Paso to raise trot skills more, but i'm new to crossbreeding so not sure.

Hello guys,

Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on: Here and Here

I got my hands on a really good Shagya mare around two weeks ago and have been messing around a bit. Currently, I plan to cross the TB x Shagya filly with a Holsteiner stallion when she's fully BLUPed. The Shagya x Holsteiner I have has been a tough BLUP but it's been really interesting to see how well-rounded she is (and as of now she's also #1 in Holsteiner stamina!)

Side Note: Does anyone know why my Shagya x Holsteiner gets the same competition difficulty as horses with 5000-6000 stamina when she only has 4400? Is it because of her higher jumping and dressage skills? Cuz it's been really tough trying to find competitions where she isn't completely beaten out by higher-stamina Vanners (very, very few Holsteiner-only XC comps out there at her level)

Also, does anyone else prefer the Shagya Arab over the normal Arab for cross-breeding? Their higher speed makes them pretty good for making horses that can do both XC and Show Jumping.

I'm currently brainstorming a way to create the American Saddlebred on here, trying to stick to the original start to the breed as much as possible. I would love for howrse to include more breeds and showing events such as saddleseat
