[info/FT] Cross Breeders

I have a question, please. I've been trying to breed two horses - a 50/50 Paint/Hano female and a 50/50 Mustang/Thoroughbred. I thought the offspring would be random between these four breeds (I'm actually trying to get a Mustang) but so far all six of the foals have been Thoroughbred. Do I just need to keep trying, or is there some reason I don't understand that will always make the foals be Thoroughbred?
Thank you! the femare: Trillian http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=573956 50% Paint 50% Hanoverian the male: Wyatt http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=571285 50% Mustang 50% Throughbred their six foals: http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/descendants?id=573956 |

If you want the outcoming foal to be Mustang you would have to go back and breed the purebred mustang MALE to the thoroughbred FEMALE ... then you would have to make the colt a MALE and use him to stud the other crossed female.
I know this is confusing but one rule about cross breeding here..... the colt ALWAYS looks like the sire (male/stud). There are NO exceptions to this rule, so now you know that you can get whatever cross you want to look like whatever horse you like best |

I just started on Howrse. Picked this server cuz Im Canadian. I started out with an arabian female and finished the tutorial with her, a male a baby and then I got a quarterhorse (f) for doin one of the last tutorial objectives.
Is it possible to cross my male arabian with my female quarterhorse? If so, is that a decent cross? I was gonna stick to just arabians but I kinda like the idea of cross breeding and would like more horses to work since otherwise my horses only take me like 2 minutes a day |

You can cross any horse, with any horse here on Howrse!
What you choose to cross is not a matter of good or bad - just preference! |

Ok, chose to go with arabian x knabstruppers. I will be busy with my UNICORNS too.
Uhm.... does anyone have a good or proper name for the arabian x knab crossbreed? |

@picasso Knabrian. I do Knab x Arab. I got to 13 stars on them!

well I only have 2 stars on mine but I used my foundie arabian and things are gonna go slowly. I have 13 aging pts and should probably use them on my unicorns when I feel ambitious. I know nothing about the "training" of each breed in this game so I have to figure it out as I go along!!
How do you improve the stars? Genetic Potential is easy to figure out - improves as long as your horse is "blupped" ? I could use some pointers on a good training schedule for the knab x arab if got any tips |

Just keep training and breeding and training and breeding.

and a cross of curly x ahkal-teke for the sheer fun of it! I am only competing with myself now anyway, dont expect to make the grand prix with any of my horses in the next millenium, but I cant afford to keep up with the whole GP rat race. Im just here to enjoy the game for myself.

I've started inbreeding Thoroughbreds and Akhal Tekes.

And... It's because you have to click your name and go from the outside into your horse's profiles (so that you can't take care of them as if you were a vistor) and the copy those links.

Hey guys I'm going for something crazy but I'm going to create a horse with a little bit of every breed. I do not know if it is possible but I will tell you when I finish. If you have any 50% one breed and 50% another breed horses please PM me if you would like to contribute to this project.
thanks ttt16 |
