[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

*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 you'll have to message some high-ranking teams for that. They usually will never sell colts above the available GP on the market, but some will give out coverings for crossbreeding (because it won't interfer with their ranking).
So maybe just message some one and tell them you'd like to crossbreed and what prices they'd offer you for a covering!
I hope this helps default smiley ^)

When breeding for a specific skill set or competition which is more effective?:
Breeding horses that have opposite strengths:
For example a Tennessee Walker and a Friesian for Dressage- the Walker being strong in trot and the Friesian being strong in dressage.
Or breeding horses that well-rounded, almost even skills:
For example the Kerry Bog and the Icelandic horse who both have decent stats for all three skills needed in Dressage comps.

I’m not sure if anyone will read this, but I am curious if there’s anyone who has a Fox Trotter Mare(Preferably pure or mixed if a select few breeds) to accept a breeding of my pure Paint horse. I’m willing to compensate for any loss of Equus from competitions.
Please PM me if you might be interested in working together. I’m wanting to create a great all around competition horse

Hey can anyone tell me what I should cross my quarter horses with? I'd really like a good cutting horse mix. Not quite sure how to make that happen tho.

Criollos already have pretty much perfect cutting skills. Crossing them with Quarters would only reduce the cutting skills of the purebred.

That all depends on what you want the end results to be.

I thought it would be fun to make weekly updates on my cross breeding project. my main goal is to create a horse with at least 4,000 in each skill, meaning I will cross will multiple breeds so far I am doing a Hanoverian x Thoroughbred cross. the mom is a 11,000 GP Hanoverian that has won rosettes in jumping, the dad if I remember correctly is a 12,000 GP thoroughbred with high skills.

Would crossing TBs and TWs be a good cross?
By Marv, 9th January 2022 11:49:18

I think so yes. I have crossbred a few.

This one was with tears: Mare with Tears

Then I covered that mare with a TW and TB to get this results. Both without tears:
TB

He will have 3567.6 for Galop, 3013.86 for speed and 3078.83 for dressage. Stamina and Jumping are both above 2000 skills. Only trot stay at 1747.93.

TW This is the TW.

My newest colt just bred: https://ca.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=3576507

2000 GP in every skill. I'm hoping to get a filly as well and from there start to get to the 3000 GP.
