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.

What's a good breed to cross with a Tennessee Walker?
By Retired breeder, 12th May 2015 16:15:18
@kayla;


I would try maybe shetland x fjord x tennesse walker, maybe? The thing is, t walkers are only realky good in one skill. Also maybe a thoroughbred? default smiley (lol)
By Retired breeder, 12th May 2015 17:49:07
ok, I'll try with those few breeds, thanks!
By Retired breeder, 12th May 2015 18:06:28
Wow what a surprising cross
Dam: Star Fire
Sire: Presicionist
Foal: Luna
the foal is low in trot, it struck me as weird, makes sense cause of the sire though.
By Retired breeder, 12th May 2015 19:48:38
whoops set the link for the wrong foal oops real link: Luna
By Retired breeder, 13th May 2015 03:47:20
Hmm, maybe try putting friesian and a teke into the mix ( breed Luna with a friesans x akhal teke! )
By Retired breeder, 13th May 2015 04:52:55
ok, thanks the advice!
By Retired breeder, 13th May 2015 20:13:54
Welcome! Tell me how it goes! default smiley (y)

I've been starting on shetland x teke for cross country. Their skill sets are similar but it evens out the jumping and stamina a little. What do you guys think?

@painter(
If I were you...Maybe try a bit of thoroughbred? Or even a friesan, but it would lack in jumping....
By Retired breeder, 14th May 2015 16:38:34
what do you guys think of a Curly x TB??? just a random thought lol
By Retired breeder, 14th May 2015 17:13:27
