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:

Replace the word link with the link to the horse and remove the * at the end.

I might try cross-breeding. Does anyone know a good breed to cross with a Shetland to get a horse good at trot racing and show jumping? I know it is probably obvious, but I just want to know if that is the only breed that would work. Thanks!

Im not an excpert, but if you want mainly Jumping, would cross with a Hanoverian. If you want the trot and Jump skills, ' cross with a F trotter

What hiddenmeadows said. And if you really want -high- trot, then you could use both? FT for mainly trot, and the hano and shetlands for jump. I have a preoccupation with trios.default smiley :d

I just bred my first cross (well, actually my first ever default smiley xd), and it's 50% Shetland, 50% Arabian. What competition will s/he do best in? I think cross country, but I'm not sure.
By AthenaMyth, 5th February 2011 03:04:22
Symphony- My brain is half asleep right now, so don't quote medefault smiley :d , I think It would do well in xCountry, but I would have to look at when its born. And I also don't remember what xCountry requires atmdefault smiley :$

hiddenmeadows- are you really?? we could have a little uni xover~ I would love that if you are willing to do it. Are you not anymore?
AthenaMyth
By Retired breeder, 5th February 2011 03:17:01
Im really busy with my AT but I could probably squeeze in some time!default smiley :) And what do you mean by Uni xover. Unis can only be pure-bred...
By AthenaMyth, 5th February 2011 03:21:35
Symphony- I checked the stats of your horse and such, and I think it might to well or better in galloping races, because gallop will stay the same, dressage would go up a bit, speed would be in between, but your stamina will be way down because the shetland is only around 42 stamina. But this is my opinion. If Cheiron or Dragoniys say differently, listen to them.default smiley :p

hiddenmeadows- I need to start speaking in full sentences I think. Lazy fingers. I meant switch coverings and such between.default smiley :p I did know that. I shall blame it on being late at night.

Happy Howrsing you Western-side people. I shall definitely be lurking sometime tomorrow. Night~

Im thinking to mix some Freisian into my cross. I recently got a Hano x AT with over 100 IBS and great GP. I hope to breed her to a Freisian Stud
