[info/FT] Cross Breeders

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

i just had a foal born. mom and dad are 50/50 mixes of the same breeds, both showing the same breed coat, but the foal is the other breed. is this normal?

It is simply a coincidence caused by statistics. I'll assume that you're talking about Elron340
and either Ember368.77 or Celestial354.54. Since Elron is a Friesian the only possible coat colour for him is black.

For Ember or Celestial, which are Gypsy Vanners, their coats are caused by a relatively high statistic. Although black is not the most statistically common coat, it is one of the higher at a 10% probability of any Gypsy Vanner having a Black Coat.

Because your foals happened to be part of the 10% statistic it caused a simple coincidence.

Coat colour has nothing to do with lineage, just probabilities set by programmers.

Suspiria: They don't mean the actual coat color, but the breed itself, but that is a good explanation for how coat colors work on the game.

demondevon: If you are talking about Elron I have the answer for you. This question pops up often on the US server as well, It confused me for a while even. Elron is a Friesian while both his parents show Gypsy Vanner.

The reasoning behind this is that when breeding two 50/50 crosses, even if they are the exact same cross, the foal will always be the breed of the sire's mother (in this case Friesian). If you wanted a Gypsy for the foal, the sire needed to be Friesian dominant, not Gypsy.

Luminous: thank you that mostly makes sense default smiley :). it seems weird that in a first generation cross its the sire breed, and then in a second generation cross it is the grandma breed on the sires side. cool, but weird . what is it for a 3rd generation. example: if i breed Elron to a full sibling?

Spirit Of The Raven

His mother Night Of The Raven has passed away and his father Spirit still lives. So I named him Spirit Of The Raven in honor of my horses.default smiley :)default smiley 8-)

I've found that cross-breeding horses is a quicker way to get rare coats...

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I have two full siblings, they were the start of my major line over on US. They are TW/TB. The first foal was a TB, but when I bred that foal back to the sire, I got a TW. It starts getting complicated in later generations. I'll use one of my horses from US to explain this. His name is Narcissus.

Horse: Narcissus
Breed: Quarter Horse
Sire: TB/QH (TB)
Dam: AT/TB/QH (Teke)

Horse: Into The Sun
Breed: TB
Sire: TB/QH (TB)
Dam: QH/TB (QH)

These two are father and son. Into the Sun (father) ended up a TB, but his son ended up a QH because Into the Sun had a recessive QH gene. So really it's a bit of a flip which breed you get.

Narcissus by the way is the results of 11 months of work and 9 generations default smiley ^)

I crossbred one of my good galloping welshes to a Hanoverian. The result was a fairly versatile horse. Top three skills for showjumping, but could also be a galloper. Top three skills were jumping, dressage and gallop, so extra bonus-only needs one type of ride for blupping!
If anyone wants to see her: Project Pony

The thread almost fell off the pagedefault smiley :o We need more cross breeders around here.

I have a bunch of crossing projects on the go. Here is the newest addition to my current focus: Kasper

I'm quite happy with this little fella! The friesian bloodlines keep dropping the jumping skills and PRE keeps dropping trotdefault smiley :@ but I am managing to get them back bit by bit!

Does anyone know what the best cross would be for Reining?

Can't seem to find any horse that fits the comp.
By Retired breeder, 4th June 2017 21:37:53
I had success with TB/QH crosses on US. There is actually one breed that's specific for that comp, that's the Irish Hunter. Don't know what their GP is like on here though.
By CloudHugger, 14th June 2017 04:44:21
I've become a very good crossbreeder on the International server. I'll have to see if I can get the link and post it here.

The current breeds in that bloodline are: Akhal-Teke, Standardbred, Thoroughbred, Highland Pony, Fjord, Friesian, Tennessee Walker, Peruvian Paso, and Marwari. I'm hoping to add Purebred Spanish Horse, Irish Hunter, and Hanoverian.

Anyways. Getting a bit off topic.

Bought a Friesian filly today, and I'm hoping she'll turn out good and that I'll get some good foals from her.

Pretty happy with the skills on this guy:

Friesian/Teke

It's been hard to get decent GPs on them without the top breeds being in the cross, though.

Looks like you need an international account to see your link default smiley :(

Any idea what breed you'll cross your filly with?
