HellOw!

If you like to cross-breed, this is the place for you!

On this topic, you can discuss your crossbreeding programs, share your secrets, and advise other players about it.

Compare different crosses with the ones from other players, and brag about your achievements in crossbreeding.

It's not allowed to advertise horse sales!

The forum rules and the game rules also apply.

Have fun sharing!

I just returned to Howrse a couple weeks ago, after a hiatus of maybe 5-6 years.

I'm working on Thoroughbred/Appaloosa crosses right now. I want to keep the Thoroughbreds as the dominant breed, but I'm adding a bit of Appaloosa ancestry to maximize the speed/dressage skills.

I trained a couple of solid mares, Kanami and Akari.

Once I finish BLUPPing their foals, Koji and Chiaki, I hope that they produce some strong competitors in gallop competitions.

I'm working on Chiaki and Koji, two foals from my prize Thoroughbred mares. default smiley (l) Once I finish BLUPPing them, I hope Chiaki and Koji produce some strong competitors in gallop competitions. default smiley (l)

Those foals look great! I love tb/appy crosses. I had a really nice appy mare, but I sold her after training/breeding… I’m definitely wishing I had kept her lol.

This is going to be great for cross breeders
Slizzzle, if you'd ever want to collab on IH crosses I'd be interested for sure! You can drop me a PM if you'd like--anyone else working on high qual IH crosses welcome as well

How are everyone’s projects going? I recently bred a nice mustang x criollo that does very well in barrels! He has been able to win 10 rosettes, so I’m pleased with him default smiley :)

I’m trying to figure out my next 4 way Irish hunter, but the criollo crosses are super fun!

Look Ma, your crossbred rosette winner, is a really nice horse!

I ended up spending a lot of my time (and aging points) on BLUPPing a Thoroughbred stallion for the apprentice breeder objectives. But so I haven't had time to really test out my Thoroughbred Appy crosses, Sakura and Chiaki. I consider my Thoroughbred mares, Kanami and Akari, to be my top horses in my stable. So I have high hopes for their Appaloosa cross daughters. If Chiaki and Sakura take after their dams, I might have a couple of solid gallop competitors on my hands. default smiley (l)

Thoroughbreds are generally the mix of choice, and create wonderful gallop comp horses.
This is Pensacola, my new TBxAppy cross. Over 100 rosettes!



If there isn’t, I be down to join one default smiley :)

Thank you PacificStarbird! He’s been a super fun 4-way cross, and one I’ll definitely create again default smiley :)

What breed is best to cross with Trakehners?
Actually just got a new TB+Appy cross so super happy other players have done well with them. I focus mainly on my teams, so don't have much time for crosses but I *did* just breed a new TB+Knabb cross, so curios to see how she does. I just mixed the two because they are my two team's breeds, and the two breeds are my passion on here. Anyone bred a TB+Knabb before? default smiley :d

I’m creating a competition string with one horse for each discipline, and I’d love to see a successful trot cross!

I’m starting to plan it out, but I’m having trouble deciding on what breeds to use default smiley :)

I finished getting the 20 wins for Sakura, one of my TB/Appy crosses! All I have to do is to finish Bolding her skills and I'll be finished with her! Hopefully she and her foals do well in gallop competitions. default smiley (l)

I got the 20 wins with Sakura! And she gave birth to a couple of new fillies, Kaede and Akane.
