  • MULTIPLE REGISTRIES DEVELOP by Judy Brummer
    MULTIPLE REGISTRIES DEVELOP by Judy Brummer About the different but similar horses Regardless of which association they are registered in, most (more about that below) of the horses are descendants of horses bred in Eastern Kentucky before any of the registries existed and this accounts for the common traits among them. Until 1986, none of the associations existed. Most of the pedigrees were recorded only in the memories of their owners or breeders and were passed on only through oral histories. Blood typing and DNA proof of parentage didn’t exist back then. If an owner said a horse was from a certain sire or dam, that was the pedigree of that horse. This is true for all breeds of horse, not just the “Mountain Horses” of Eastern Kentucky. Over the years, since 1986, three registries that still exist were created. Rea and David Swan incorporated the Rocky Mountain Horse Association® (RMHA) in 1986. Other registries were created after differences in opinions arose about the breed standards being established, admission or denial of certain horses as Foundation stock, how the organizations were being managed, etc. The Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association (KMSHA) was incorporated in March of 1989 by Robert Robinson, Jr. and Gordon Layton incorporated the Mountain Pleasure Horse Association (MPHA) in April of 1989. Many individuals were involved in the establishment of more than one of these organizations as each association established differing guidelines for registering horses. These became the basis for the differences in the horses included in the different associations’ books. Some horses have papers from all three of the existing associations.

  • Genetic Testing As a Tool to Identify Horses with Or at Risk for Ocular Disorders
    Genetic Testing as a Tool to Identify Horses with or at Risk for Ocular Disorders Rebecca R. Bellone, PhD KEYWORDS Genetics Ocular disorders Night blindness Recurrent uveitis Squamous cell carcinoma Multiple congenital ocular anomalies Horses KEY POINTS Genetic testing can help identify horses with ocular disorders and tests are available for congenital stationary night blindness and multiple congenital ocular anomalies. Genetic testing can also help identify horses at risk for developing ocular disorders, including equine recurrent uveitis and squamous cell carcinoma. Screening horses for genetic mutations can help inform management decisions for an earlier diagnosis and better prognosis. INTRODUCTION Sequencing the genome (the totality of an organisms DNA) of a gray thoroughbred mare named Twilight has allowed the rapid development of tools and resources to aid in the understanding of the genetics of economically and medically important traits in the horse.1 Twilight’s genome has served as a reference with which to compare sequence information from other horses and has enabled finding the causative mutations for several disorders, including those that can affect ocular function. These findings allow the creation of genetic tests offered by several commercial laboratories around the globe. Use of these tests can influence clinical management and breeding decisions. Most inherited ocular disorders or those disorders with ocular manifestations are breed specific or affect breeds that are closely related. The genetics of 8 different ocular disorders have been investigated (Table 1). Approximately half of the disorders studied have an associated or causative variant identified. These disorders include congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) in Disclosure: R.R.

  • Rare Breeds Highlight Western States Horse Expo
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information contact Kate Riordan, [email protected] Rare Breeds Highlight Western States Horse Expo The 21st Western States Horse Expo, May 9-12, 2019, will feature a variety of rare breeds, along with “Stewardship Awards of North America” (SANA) classes specifically for these breeds. The host organizations, the Akhal-Teke Association of America and the Equus Survival Trust, focus on conservation through education. Horse Expo has always made a concerted effort to educate its attendees, whether through veterinary science, breeding, alternative modalities, training, camping or riding. To have SANA and the host groups parallel the Expo’s mission statement of education, plus showcase these horses in sanctioned classes at the Expo, is an exceptional opportunity. Where else can you visit with and watch these rare and endangered horses perform? And of course the exhibitors and breeders will gladly tell you about the unique characteristics of each breed including the traditional type, movement and temperament that these horses have displayed for centuries. This year the Horse Expo will be housed at Murieta Equestrian Center, the largest equestrian center in California. The expanded number of arenas allows the endangered breed classes to include Jumping, Dressage, Obstacle, Western Dressage, In-hand, Ridden, Costume and classes specifically for Akhal-Tekes. The Akhal-Teke horse is believed to be one of the oldest surviving and purest of horse breeds. The Akhal-Teke is a descendant of the ancient Turkmene horse that originated from Asia and was used by nomadic tribes as a war horse. Later the Turkmene horse was brought to Russia and the best breeding stock were taken to the first Akhal-Teke Stud, Zakaspiisky, near Ashkhabad where the breed was developed and used by the Russian Military.

Some horses that were “lite shod” could achieve such a gait with extensive training; however, as the “big lick” caught judges’ fancy, trainers started using other practices to enhance movement. Weighted shoes, stacked pads, and weighted chains began to appear, and the methods quickly became more aggressive—heavier weights and chains, objects (e.g., tacks) placed against the sole of the hoof to induce pain, and the application of caustic substances on the pastern or coronary band to induce pain when those areas were rubbed with chain or roller bracelets. These aggressive practices are called “soring” and the result is a horse that snatches its forelimbs off the ground to alleviate pain, and brings its hind limbs under itself as far as possible to reduce weight on the forelimbs. HOW IT'S DONE Chemical agents (e.g., kerosene, diesel or croton oil, hand cleaners, WD 40, oil of mustard, cinnamon oil, other caustic substances) are applied to the pastern and coronary band region. Then bracelet-like chains or rollers (“action devices”) are attached around the front of the pastern to rub against the skin and exacerbate the pain caused by the caustic agents.

Assessing Color and Breed In model horse competitions, the goal is to faithfully recreate the equestrian world in miniature. It is what exhibitors strive to do and what judges consider when evaluating a table of entries. One aspect of that evaluation is whether the color of the model is realistic. In order to assess this, a judge must be able to distinguish between visually similar (but often geneti- cally distinct) colors and patterns and determine whether or not the color depicted on the model is suitable for the breed the entrant has assigned. This task is complicated by the fact that many participants—who are at heart collectors as well as competitors—are attracted to pieces that are unique or unusual. So how does a judge determine which colors are legitimate for a particular breed and which are questionable or outright unrealistic? When it comes to the range of colors within each breed, there are three basic considerations. Breeds are limited by the genes present in the population (what is possible), by any restrictions placed by their registry (what is permissible), and by what is counted as a fault in breed competitions (what is penalized).
