Here we go! A cross breed thread!

The purpose of this topic is for cross breeders to have a place to discuss their crossbreeding programs and to share crossbreeding secrets and advice with others who may be interested in giving crossbreeding a try. Feel free to talk about your crossbreeding programs and your achievements and failures in crossbreeding.
Please remember to follow the rules of the forum and be informative and helpful.


Reminder to all.

Please do not advertise sales of your horses, or items wanted in this topic. I can turn a blind eye to the covers being offered (as long as they are not blatant advertisements) because we are, after all, trying to help each other progress and there is no filter on public covers for searching for crosses, but items sales and items wanted do not belong in any of the public forums and we have a sales forum for horse sales so please, lets keep our topic clean of the ads.

This is also *not* a chat topic...Please keep that in mind. If it turns into one, I will be forced to close it down.

Thanks everyone

I have tried for soooooo long to get a Gypsy Vanner horse and I ahve been crossbreeding for soo long with other Gypsy Vannners. I finnaly have one named Weell I forgot but I stil got one. So If you want a certain breed never give up. Go to autions while your horse is in gestation!

Wow, Jessie! Those stats are amazing! I'll be sure not t go into comps against your horses!default smiley xd
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2011 00:13:15
I just checked the Mustang Ranking, and Blue Ribbon is in second for Dressage! I am so happy!
Jessie: Are those the first foals? Or have you bred them for a long time?
AND... *to*. Not *t*. default smiley (lol)
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2011 00:29:49
yup they are the first foals ive bread,

i used an Akhal i had baught and used in my akhal bloodline, and bread her with a freisian stallion with almost identical GP and the foals are amazing

im just starting the training on the best female and aging her faster then her siblings who im just doing day by day, she has yet to enter compititions but the day is coming soon!
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2011 00:54:00
oh and... ive been running numbers again... looks like the fjord and the vanner woulde make a nice little cross breed. ive bread my mare to see what the foal would look like just for fun - i think it would be a nice cross
By Retired breeder, 30th September 2011 03:53:04
Jessie.D - All I can say is those friestekes sound -amazing-. No, they *are* amazing. My crosses look a little pathetic next to yours default smiley xd
That does sound like a nice cross, you'll have to tell us how it turns out =)


I'm working on getting my .... uh, not really sure how to explain a horse with 4 breeds of all different percentages... ummm... mutt thing BLUPed default smiley xd So far it's going very slowly, hopefully he does better in cross-country comps than he does in jump. This is the one I was told I should keep because his genetics looked nice. And they do, but they aren't testing well so far... Oh well, he's not even 4 yet, hopefully he'll turn around and amaze me =)

megooni

it could also be that this is one of thoes horses that are "stuborn" ive trained some that do not like compititions even though they are trained for specific things, ive had akhals that do horrible in cross county but do phenominal in things like gallop and trot races

just keep at it and try the different compititions, youll find one it likes ;p

I just bought a mare in gestation and she had her foal. The foal is half hano half friesian and her GP is about 390. Here's the link: http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=165844

DressageGal's Horse <- there's a direct link to it so you don't need to copy and paste.

Jessie - I hope so, I've only entered him in a few jump and trot races so far. Once he's done jump comps and training I'll enter cross-crountry which he should do better in, but we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
By Retired breeder, 1st October 2011 16:37:20
megooni- i guess thats all you can do! ;p

dresage girl - hes a nice horse, even looking stats - he has the same dad as all my crosses so far too ;p

By Retired breeder, 6th October 2011 02:30:49
Friestekes had at one pointe been popular, i know kobe and a few other top players were breeding them at one pointe.
By Retired breeder, 7th October 2011 10:09:13

Just a quick question:

I wold like to make a Akhal-Teke something mix and woiuld like to know which one is probably the best to fill stars.default smiley *-)
Thank you all,~7
By Retired breeder, 8th October 2011 00:43:18
if you want check out my Friestekes they have very even jumping, trotting and gallop with very high dresage and stamina
By Retired breeder, 8th October 2011 14:03:28

Hi all!
Just crossed Arabian Horse with a French Trotter (Arabian Trotters hehe) (: I like the results so far!

Stamina - 67.75
Gallop - 41.85
Speed - 82.42
Trot - 56.03
Dressage - 67.52
Jumping - 42.69

What do you guys think, is this a good start?
By Retired breeder, 17th October 2011 00:49:24
it looks good, and looks like it would do well in almost any compitition, especialy gallop and jumping events since it has such good speed and medium in everything else
By Retired breeder, 22nd October 2011 17:42:17
Hi:

I'm new to this forum. I couldn't find a way to search to see if anyone else is doing something similar to my crosses.

My 1st cross was Arab to Tb; I then crossed the result (a filly with 100 BLUP) to a purebred Hanoverian. Unfortunately both the foals were colts but they had a GP of 381.84 which I thought was not bad until I read what you are all doing. I was going to bred my Anglo Arab to another Hanoverian but maybe a Friesian would be a better way to go.

Any suggestions will be carefully studied.

post links to one of your foals or give stats so we can see what they have. it sounds like a very complicated cross but probably would have very nice skills.

what is your goal for cross breeding these horses?
By Retired breeder, 22nd October 2011 20:37:19
Sorry, I don't know how to make a link you can click on.

This the link to my 1/2 Arab; 1/2 TB cross, Bay Rum
<http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=135471>

This is the link to her foal - 1/2 Hanoverian; 1/4 TB; 1/4 Arab - Flying Cloud
<http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=185908>

I started with an Anglo Arab cross because they used to make very good show jumpers in real life many years ago now. Then as I got more into the game I got interested in obtaining the highest GP I could for my foals. If I find a mix that "clicks" I'd probably keep on doing it but I will also experiment with other crosses with my other mare (100% Arab) - Fatima
<http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=121328>

&/or her fillies (1/2 H; 1/2 Arab) - Serendipity
<http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=190079>

Thanks for replying

some reason the links wont work for me x,x

the arab TB cross is a good one, would be supurbe in gallop races and barrol
By Retired breeder, 23rd October 2011 00:12:02
Sorry about that. I am quite computer literate but must be having a "senior moment" about how to make a link.

The Arab TB cross was best at showjumping. Didn't win very many gallop races at all.

This is a link to my page - if you cut & paste, it should work.
By Retired breeder, 23rd October 2011 19:53:28
ill just click your name ;p

its also how you train them for the compititionsfor example if your going to enter gallop races you want to only train in speed and dressage

if you were doing barrol races you would train in gallop and dressage

the reason the horse probably did so well in jumping is becuase it wont have as high of jumping skills meaning that it can enter in lower dificulty events and still have high speed and dressage
By Retired breeder, 23rd October 2011 20:01:44
I've been thinking... you know how when you cross breed a horse you get one breed or the other? So say you breed a mustang and an arabian, you get a mustang, even though it's technically half of each. I think that maybe the howrse staff could make a new position and picture of horse for each crossbreed? Like new patterns, new markings, etc. Who thinks I should send a request for that? default smiley :) Just a thought! default smiley (y)

And I think the whole crossbreeding idea is cool. It's great because you can get stats from each breed to build up the overall potential.
