Well most population within a species have very similar gene pools, like most human are 99% similar in their DNA, but the thing is, the closer you are related the more similar you gene pool will be. By hybridization you are literally introducing something new to the gene pool. So maybe you have a whole herd of white goat, but then you crossbred it with a black goat (i don't know if black goat exists or not), this introduces a genetic variation into your white goats, now the offspring will have black fur allele in their gene. That is what hybridization do.
