Finally a post just for us cross breeders. 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. default smiley :-))

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

Reminder to all.

Please do not advertise sales 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.

Thanks everyone

There are reasons for rules and everyone is expected to follow them. There will be no posting of advertisements in this topic and everyone is expected to be respectful. Any disrespect towards fellow players or moderators will not be tolerated. Anyone posting advertisements will receive a forum ban without prior warning. If breaking of rules continues to take place in this topic I will delete it.

Thank you

If anyone has personal issues with another player, or needs something back from another player(items/passes), other than covers/fills-please take it to private pms...anymore posting here will mean an instant forum ban without a warning.

A reminder that this is not the place for trading/buying/selling BMI, horses or advertising or asking for someone to train your horse.
If any of these things occur, you will be forum banned without prior warning.

Fellow players told me to ask here.

I bred my MarwariXCanadian Mare, (She's a Marwari) to a Friesian Stallion - FriesianXHanoverianXPaintXIrish Hunter (25% of each) - Shouldn't my Foal be a Marwari, not a Canadian? The Ultrasound is saying that the Foal will be Canadian?

Arcaii (The Marwari) was bred from my Canadian mare, Iska, and a random Marwari.

So way has the foal decided to be a Canadian?
With crosses, sometimes the highest GP ancestor is the determining factor in the dominant breed.

In Arcaii's ancestory, The Canadian has no stars and the Marwari had five?
By Retired breeder, 19th April 2010 16:55:37
Sometimes, I've noticed with my crossing, the foal is the non-dominant breed of the mother. Does that make sense?

You want crosses? I got crosses!default smiley :-)) Check out all my High GPed cross horses in my others tab!
Lightspeed is another sneaky example of quirky crosses. Came out Standie. I was expecting Friesian or TB.

Ah, I think I get it now. I wanted a Marwari, but I breed Canadians too, so I'm not to bothered, default smiley xd.
I don't care about Purity though, I like Cross-breds, they seam to do better.

Nice horse Forest Queen default smiley :) i'm very jealous. All my ponies lately seem to be having trouble getting their wins. default smiley :$ think i'm going wrong somewhere.

Would love to hear some tips and opinions on how to improve my stock some more. Also would love to team up with people to try to increase the pony crosses on the game (they don't seem as popular as the horses).

Feel frre to PM me.

Thanks

The only thing I know for sure helps is the fact that I only do speed/dressage training before comps and make sure the horse has a tub of grease before entering. My horses are young and have 'few' skills when the compete so it can put them in the lower comps for their BLUP wins. Once they have those I just finish bolding. It has worked for all of my horses, even my NIBs (non-inbreds)

Forest Queen that how I normally do it, only with my last shetland (Man In The Mirror) I did dressage and gallop then got my barrel races for wins (this worked very well) so tried it on my quarter pony WhoUCallinMamasBoy (once barrel races were complete I changed tack) but i'm now thinking that I should have trained in speed before entering other comps.

Sorry if this makes no sense, it's late here and have been in work all day default smiley (lol)

lol it makes sense though I have always found it easiest for all comps for speed/dressage only training and have heard that the way you switched over too is more difficult especially if you needed to go back to gallop type comps later for your last few wins. default smiley (lol) Speaking of that pony, my mare was entered in several comps against him....trots I believe default smiley :)

There is never anything wrong with experimenting....tons of experimenting had to be done to come across proper foal games, proper training techniques and the crossbreeds themselves are giant experiments default smiley :p

I agree with Forest Queen, no matter what the breed I always bold in speed and dressage first. It's easy to get the need wins that way.
I almost passed out.....Went back to finish working up my mare and she had jumped from 23 wins to 38 o_O.....she was only 7 years and 6 months with *tons* more comps to run lol.

Once she is all done at 10 years I will repost the link. It is a few pages back now. Mk, off to work her.

*hi zepharo! 'waves'*
