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

@ unicornsparkle

i think it would be a very well rounded horse, i ran some numbers and if you bread two horses with 0blup that both had 350gp the foal would have theses kind of stats

akhalxfri

stamina 80
speed 64
dressage 80
galloping 42
trotting 41
jumping 43

@Megooni, I am going to try, so I am looking for a good GP female French trotter PM me if you know anybody that has some good GP french trotters(who is willing to sell).

What would be good to cross with thouroughbred?
By Retired breeder, 2nd September 2011 16:21:02
@lululol, If you wanted to make the galloping stronger you could cross it with Welsh. And if you wanted to make it another breed but so the it would have a galloping edge over the other purebreds i would go with Paint as their galloping genetics are not that high.
By Retired breeder, 2nd September 2011 18:44:31
lululo- I would cross with a paint horse, to boost speed and dressage. :3
By Retired breeder, 2nd September 2011 23:50:08
@ lululo - it would depend on what you want to use it for.

tb x arab
stamina 56
speed 80
dressage 66
galloping 76
trotting 20
jumping 52
the tb arab looks as if it would be good at many things, it excells in speed gallop and dressage so barrel racing comes to mind

tb x akhal
stamina 66
speed 66
dressage 68
galloping 66
trotting 20
jumping 64
this is a very even cross breed horse with dressage in the leed, it would be good at barrel, jumping, gallop races and even cross country

it all depends on what you want your horse to be great in
By Retired breeder, 6th September 2011 11:46:13
the tb and teke cross seems like a good idea if you are trying to breed a horse thats good at everything well almost everything
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 15:47:21
personaly, im trying to create a crossbreed where all the skills are the same. - to make sort of a mock divine horse... but its hard to find the right combinations of horses to do it
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 15:49:44
unfortunatly the skills dont divide evenly into 6. you get a number like 58.333333333 (inf)

unless the horses your starting with have 351 GP total, then all six skills devide evenly into 58.5
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 16:02:17
So you want breeds that would cross out the other breeds? Like thoroughbreed and french trotter?
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 18:56:35
yes. but i have tryed many combinations... the best options i have found are:

tbxakhal
stamina 66
speed 66
dressage 68
galloping 66
trotting 20
jumping 64

tbxfrench
stamina 52
speed 70
dressage 66
galloping 55
trotting 55
jumping 52

hannoxfrench
stamina 52
speed 68
dresasge 68
galloping 41
trotting 55
jumping 66

if all the numbers were in the 50's it would be good enough, because with the list of horses we have on this version there isnt enough diversity of breeds. there needs to be more horses that have medium trot like the hanno and vanner so that the GP points are being taken from somewhere else
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 18:58:51
a 4 way cross with hanno x french x tb x french still has the problem that speed is too high, and gallop is two low. but it is deffinatly clossest by far
By Retired breeder, 8th September 2011 22:46:18
Jessie.D - Maybe try the TB x Akhal with the Hanno x Trotter and then if skills aren't even enough, try crossing that with a cross that's a little stronger in the lower skills and weaker in the higher skills (as compared to the TB/Akhal/Hanno/Trotter) to even it out. Do you get what I'm saying?
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 01:42:26
oh for sure i do. its probably gonna be one of those cross breeds that will end up having almost every breed in it just because it will work out like that.

it would almost have to be Trotterx(Hanno x Trotter)x(tbxakhal)


this is starting to look like algibra! haha
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 16:10:39
Haha !

I was thinking of Mustangs and Thoroughbreds. What do you think the skills would be combined?


That one is Thoroughbred,


That one is Mustang.

Thanks for your help!
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 16:45:47
Jessie.D - Nooo! Not math on the weekend! default smiley xd
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 16:49:30
Oh and I bred this guy about a week ago. I was planning on selling him but now I think I'll keep him. What's your guys's oppinion?
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 19:52:00
His genetics are pretty good. I would keep him if I were you, but that's just my opinion.
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 19:52:52
I am attempting TB's and Mustangs, and will see what the foal comes out as!! Very excited.
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 19:58:53
Okay, here are the results of my mustang / thoroughbred (must make up name...):
Genetics Total: 351.77
Stamina 56.26 Gallop 80.52
Speed 80.62 Trot 20.05
Dressage 58.17 Jumping 56.15

That was my very first time crossbreeding, and I liked the results! I think I'm going to at it.
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 23:50:27
it does look very nice... it would make a very decent compeater with high speed and rather good dressage
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 23:51:43
if anyone needs numbers checked for skills gp outcomes pm me and ill do it for a 350gp horse (assumed 0blup for both parents)
By Retired breeder, 11th September 2011 23:57:34
Thanks Jessie.
By Retired breeder, 12th September 2011 00:02:10
