I've been trying to breed a Cleveland Bay for quite some time now, but I just get Half Thoroughbreds. I'm only crossing horses evaluated with 3-4 stars for Cleveland Bay, but it doesn't work. Should it be this hard? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm crossing a TB with an Arabian x NAB as the Breeds Wiki says. Just wondering if it's normal?

If you post a link to one of your failed Cleveland Bays we can help figure out what might be going wrong.

You've got the cross breeding correct, but she doesn't meet the criteria for a Cleveland Bay.
I would say it's just poor luck that you haven't got the right combination of genes to create a Cleveland Bay, especially if you are crossing parents that are 3-4 stars.
So you aren't doing anything wrong, just have to keep trying.
