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.

I think the QH / Knab cross would turn out very well, might be a little low in trot still but that's not too hard to fix.
By Retired breeder, 18th February 2015 18:32:44
yeah I thot so... how would I fix that exactly? and would the QH x Knab breed well to my TB x Hano?default smiley (8)
By Retired breeder, 18th February 2015 18:34:33
If the jump is high enough, you could try a Friesian - that way you keep the high GP.
By Retired breeder, 18th February 2015 18:35:20
ok cool that's what I was thinking default smiley :)

I've found that mix to do pretty well with comps in general default smiley :)

Is it possible to completely breed out the second breed of a horse if you continually breed the line to purebred stallions? And eventually end up with a purebred horse? I've been curious about this for a long time!
By Retired breeder, 9th April 2015 18:27:15
No it will never return to a purebred. There will always be 1% of the secondary breed.
By Retired breeder, 13th April 2015 03:24:18
Greetings,
I was wondering, can you actually breed a pony to a horse in this game? That seems like an obvious yes, but can you? And if so, what results do you get?
Thanks for your help.

Same rules apply to horse/pony breedings. The foal will be that of the father if a 50/50 cross or it will be the breed with the highest percent if a multicross.

Hi there all ^^

I just restarted my game and I have decided to focus on cross breeding. But I don't have any experience with it and I have no idea what I am doing as you can see default smiley (8) It is just a mess ;p
Does anybody have some advice for me? Thnx in advance ^^
(I am sorry for my English :s)

Anyone know about, or have any experience, with Friesian and QH 50/50 mixes? I've been toying with this idea but don't want to waste a cover if it's a dud.

Quarter Horse and Friesian is an excellent mix and does very well for trail class competitions default smiley :) Here's my cross of it: http://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=1411907

I used to be huge into breeding crossbreds. I've been out of it for a while now though and have just produced one, so am looking for help as to what everyone thinks he will excel most at. I'm on my phone so cannot post a link to him, so I'll post his stats.
Name: Titanium Alloyd
Breed: 1/2 Fresian, 1/4 QH, 1/4 Hanoverian, 1/4 Akhal-Teke

Stamina: 298.38, Gallop: 187.23
Speed: 227.58, Trot: 148.47
Dressage: 333.31, Jumping: 187.35

Total: 1382.34

Thanks Macerinut!
By Retired breeder, 17th April 2015 23:49:40
What could be good if you cross breed a high star Friesian with a high star Thoroughbred would that work out?

What advantages would I have with that type of crossbreed and what competitions would it be good at?

Thanks, Jaycee
By Retired breeder, 24th April 2015 00:28:05
That would have top skills of Stamina, Speed and Dressage *most likely*, depending on the GP difference between the two. It would be good for most comps (gallop, trot, sj, reining, cutting, wp)

What's a good breed to cross with a Tennessee Walker?
By Retired breeder, 1st May 2015 22:55:48
