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

*Edit*
How to create a clickable link:
[url=link] words here about the horse you are linking [/*url]
Replace the word link with the link to the horse and remove the * at the end.

Um, is anyone there? This page got quite quite all of the sudden. Am I scary or something?
By Retired breeder, 20th January 2012 15:35:46
This forum tends to be really quiet, especially if you are used to the pace of things on International.
By Retired breeder, 21st January 2012 00:25:43
Yes, it does seem that way.
By Retired breeder, 24th January 2012 02:38:18

Please give her an apple! <3

I like your gypsy-teke Emoo default smiley :)
Of all, I would suggest to breed horses that have good speed and dressage since they will be good at racing and showjumping

I have started a Arab and Shagya cross-breeding program. We are called Sharabs of the Sahara. Here's what it's about:
1. We breed full BLUP Arabians to full BLUP Shagya Arabians to get the Sharab. It is a new "breed".
2. The group breeds these Sharabs to other Sharabs once they are full BLUPPED to keep up the 50%/50% strain. (Arab+Shagya=50% Arab/50% Shagya<<Sharab. Sharab+Sharab=50% Arab/40% Shagya=Sharab) Get it? Ok.default smiley :)default smiley (lol)
3. So far here are the players in the group: Avi (me) and hunterjumpinggirl. So I'm looking for more players to join the group.
4. Requirements:
You do NOT have to be a pass buyer
You must have at least 10 days seniority (access to auctions and BMI trade center)
You don't have to know how to BLUP as I can tell you the best ways to do so
You need to either have memorized the Foal Games or get a copy from me (unless you already have a copy) since we perform the Foal Games on EVERY foal

If you are interested, please PM me.
Thanks,
Avidefault smiley :-))

Huh... I am considering breeding my Nakota to my Welshes... How do you think that'll turn out?
I tried Welshes to paints... I sure hope it worked...
By Retired breeder, 7th March 2012 01:53:20
Hello! I am new to the concept of cross-breeding, even though I hads always done it. I am breeding French-Paint.

I have a question: does the breed of the dam/sire matter?
By Retired breeder, 7th March 2012 02:01:35
The foal will usually be the same breed as the sire, but otherwise it doesn't really matter which horse is which breed.
By moo4me, 11th March 2012 04:18:37
Is any one working with quarter horse x thoroughbred? Or, possibly quarter horse X french trotter? I know how the QH/TB turns out and am looking for one to use as a stud.

If anyone has produced a QH/FT, I would like to see how they turn out.

is a QH x Nokota mix good?
By Retired breeder, 16th March 2012 20:51:31
I'll bite default smiley :)

I breed Hanos, but my goal is to get them up there in the Dressage rankings, so I crossbreed with Friesians and sometimes PSHs.
I also breed pure PSHs.

I just joined, so have only just started with my program and have yet to fully BLUP my foundation stallion.. haha but once that happens and I get some mares BLUPed, we will see what pops out!
By Retired breeder, 18th March 2012 15:01:25
On my game on another server, I've had success with TB/French Trotter crosses default smiley :)
*Darling*: I gave Friesian/Akhal-teke and the foal turned out ok, I'm glad that you have had success with them!
By Retired breeder, 18th March 2012 18:40:07
I recently bought a horse that's 25% teke, 25% paint and 50% thoroughbred. His stamina, speed and dressage are all equal and his gallop is pretty good. I'm thinking of breeding him to a friesian/teke, I think that will turn out well.

I also did a TB/FT, was kind of disappointed with the results, but alas, what can you do? I'll just experiment with her once she's blupped.

I also tried TB/Hano just for fun. Foal is coming soon, but I might just age and see...
By Retired breeder, 19th March 2012 16:14:04
So I aged my mare to have the baby born... hano/TB was disappointing, too. Guess I'm not terribly apt at this, oh well. More experimenting with this foal, too, I suppose!

But I did create myself an affix for them default smiley (lol). Oh So Experimental. May as well make my silliness at least look a little fancier!
By Retired breeder, 19th March 2012 21:50:12
I've experimented with a lot of crosses, especially ones involving friesans. I recently bred a foal thats part French Trotter, Akhal-Teke, Quarter Horse and Friesian. Here's the link if you want to check him out default smiley :) http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=324496
By Flynn, 24th March 2012 16:29:14
I tried a Frecn/Friesian and now I`m selling to Skylyla. Hope to see if it works well soon. My next job is TB/QH!

On the international server me and a friend are trying to breed crosses which will hopeuflly dominate the western comps board eventually, and even though we just started and are still experimenting with a bunch of different breeds, Paint/Gypsy crosses seem to turn out good. They're pretty good with cutting comps.
By Retired breeder, 24th March 2012 20:25:43
I am starting to breed GV's if anyone wants one please PM me!
