I was wonderi.g if its possible to breed back a cross to get the parent breed back. For example I have a belgianxforest horse and his eval said he was perfect for A forest horse. Would I be able to cross him back toa forest horse to get a forest horse.. If not, how many gens would it take before it might be considered a forest horse again?

Yes you can cross your horse back to the parent breed to get a purebred again. It takes about 6 or 7 generations before the horse would be considered Pure.

It takes four generations, after the initial cross.
