Retired breeder
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.

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

- 2023-11-07I just bred a purebred TB (sire) with a purebred Quarter Pony (dam). I am getting a colt, but I thought I would get a filly. Can someone explain this? I am also gonna breed another TB (dam) to a Quarter Pony (sire) so we will see how that goes.
- 2023-11-07Hello there! I’ve been interested in crossbreeding for quite a while. I had an account in 2022 where I dabbled in Thoroughbreds but I never bred them with a different breed. Now, I mostly breed Selles. Are there any breeds that pair really well with Selles?

I like doing KWPN dominant KWPN x Selle crosses. If you can get high GP parents, the foals make great show jumping rosette winners. By making the foal KWPN dominant, you get higher jump and speed stats from the Selle - 2023-11-30What goes good with Nokota's and/or Peruvian Pasos? I'm trying to dabble in both of these breeds and definitely want some competition winners.

So I’m new to crossbreeding and accidentally cross bred a thoroughbred and lustiano which ended up in a base of 7k stats in gallop and dressage. If I bred this horse to either of its parents’ breeds will those skills wash out to what the standard is for either breed?
You will lose some of what you gained depending on which parent you breed to. If you breed back to the Lusitano you'll gain back some dressage and lose gallop, whereas if you breed to the Thoroughbred parent you'll gain gallop and lose some dressage
I usually calculate the possible pairings and compare to the different pairings and the purebred stats to see which would be better based on my goal - 2024-01-13am wondering how this might turn out, i have 2 pure breeds, dam is a Akhal-Teke, sire is a Appaloosa, has anyone done this cross before?

If they're both blupped, and they're close to the same genetic potential number, it would seem that dressage and jump would be your top two skills, the third skill could be either stamina or speed?
I've never done this cross either, so post the results if you do the cross.
