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

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.

I'm aiming for getting all the skills to be at the same level. Right now, I'm using my mare Alice:

If anyone wants a foal from her (she's fully blupped too) to help with their crossbreeding, pm me! default smiley :)

can horses and pony's breed together? default smiley :d
By Retired breeder, 11th June 2012 02:24:54
Well my Nez Perce crossings did not do well at all so I disbanded it. Has anyone ever thought about trying it with fully blupped horses of Akhal Teke and Appaloosa yet? Like I said mine failed because I lacked patience with blupping them first. My bad. I'm considering another go with KnabsXAppaloosa or AppyXQH, not sure which yet. Leaning with Knabs. May consider partnering but not joining a group. Adults only please.

My crossbreeding program is shaping up nicely! I have some good PB base breeding stock to work with (still working on getting myself a TB in my GP range though) and am now trying to get a male and a female of each cross I'm working with. The breeds I'm working with are friesian, paint, TB, teke, and hano. I would like to expand, but don't have the horsepower!

And hey, if anyone wants to buddy up and breed with me, by all means!

I've decided to try and breed Welsh and Thoroughbreds together, and see how it turns out. My Welsh horse Tori is pregnant with a Thoroughbred called Crime .

Can't wait to see if it turns out okay default smiley (lol)

Anyone got any hints on brigning down the Dressage and putting it out along the other skills? That's what I'm aiming for in my mixed breed Equalist's foal once I breed him.
By Retired breeder, 15th June 2012 00:21:23
Hi this is off topic but i really need help.... does anyone have a male donkey that my female donkey can breed to????? There are none under breeding soo yadefault smiley ^)

You can not advertise for horses or breedings on the forums.

Wow cerberus... You know, the only brred I can currently think of with low dressage would be a mustang!
By Retired breeder, 15th June 2012 19:42:36
I fear that breeding him with a mustang would bring up speed too much. I was thinking Hanoverian for the next one. Equalist's lowest skill is Jumping, and a Hanno's highest is Jumping. Hopefully that will bring down the dressage and won't boost jumping so much that everything becomes unbalanced.

is it possible to breed a horse here that has a bit of each breed?
By Retired breeder, 21st June 2012 22:37:19
The answer is both yes and no. Only 5 breed shows on the horses page however there could be more then those 5 breeds in the horse if you look back into the linage.
By Retired breeder, 21st June 2012 23:30:43
I am currently cross breeding 4 breeds to make the ideal horse for trail classes.
By Retired breeder, 24th June 2012 12:57:33
I have a Thoroughbred mare on the UK version and I want to crossbreed her so I was wondering what breed would be good? I was thinking an Arabian so it would be an Anglo-Arab but what would be the top 3 skills and what competitions would it be good at? Thanks default smiley :)
By Retired breeder, 8th July 2012 14:41:45
i tried a curly and a arabien horse and i got a white shagya arabien horse. and i still have it
but its for sale now.default smiley :ddefault smiley :ddefault smiley :d
By Retired breeder, 10th July 2012 16:34:10
Cerberus - I have a tip - I don't know if this will work or not - I just had a wild idea. LOL I was thinking that maybe you could just not train them in dressage, and get the rest of the skills where you want them but just not train in dressage, if you don't want high dressage. default smiley ;) I hope that helps.default smiley (lol)
By Retired breeder, 10th July 2012 16:34:49
Wait - cutieincradle - you can do that? Breed any horse with an arab and get a shagya? default smiley :odefault smiley :o I'll have to try that!default smiley :-))
By Retired breeder, 10th July 2012 23:03:39
When you cross breed, if the horse is 50/50 the foal will be the fathers breed, if its anything other then 50/50 then the breed will be what ever is the most percent. That just means that there was more Shagya percent in the breeding.
By Retired breeder, 12th July 2012 16:33:38
I wonder what will happen if you cross a Curly with a Purebred Spanish horse/Shagya Arabian?

default smiley :p
By Retired breeder, 12th July 2012 16:40:21
Has anyone tried to breed four different types of horses( Not pure bred horses) Toghether? What would happen if I bred a Purebred Spanish Horse/Sagya Arabian mare with a French Trotter / Fresian Stallion?default smiley *-)
By moo4me, 12th July 2012 18:24:12
Tigerlily, if each breed is 25% for the foal, the breed 'look' so to say will be random. It's a surprise!

As to the resulting skills, all I can tell you is it will be an average of the four. I don't cross with PSH or Shagya so I don't know their skills well enough to guess. Experiment and see! That's the fun of cross breeding from my experiencedefault smiley (lol) Please post the results if you do the cross, it would be interesting to see, I think!

I know that thoroughbreds and Akhal Tekes make good crosses, but would a paint and a thoroughbred? If not, what would be good to cross with a paint? default smiley (o)
By Retired breeder, 13th July 2012 16:11:10
I recently bred a Akhal teke french trotter mix. All I have to do is pair her up with a thoroughbred or another horse good in gallop and I'll be well on my way to a good comp horse.default smiley :p
