So, I use a lot of crossbreeding in one of my projects, and thus spend a lot of time going through the crossbreeding chart. Today I noticed something odd: if you ask what a Morab/Appendix QH will give you, the site spits back a blank message.
In the interest of science, I yoinked a hopeless AppQH mare off the market ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1567086 ) and bred her to the Morab I'll be using for said project ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1377613 ).
The result was a Grade Show B ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1609888 ).
But then! I went back to the crossbreeding chart and discovered... an Appendix QH/Morab cross spits back a blank message - but with "tennesse" code up top, implying a Tenessee Walking Horse. Intriguing!
So. I finished rolling the stud, got me a bouncing baby Morab mare ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1609954 ), and while prepping her for her future career as broodmare found a cheap Appendix QH stallion ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1596433 ) to breed. For SCIENCE.
And what should pop out but a Grade Stock B ( http://www.virtualhorseranch.com/viewho ... se=1609986 )?
Odd little glitch. Doubly odd because American QH crosses and Appendix QH usually produce the same result - American QH/Morab gives you a Standardbred.
