The ancestry of the ENH is debated, including alleged claims about direct descendance from the extinct Tarpan. Here we conducted a detailed analysis of the genetic makeup and relationships of the ENH based on the genotypes of 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), 18 Y chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial D-loop sequence and lateral gait allele in DMRT3.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

NOTES Putting the Cart Before the Horse BARRIERS TO ENFORCING A CODE OF ETHICS FOR THOROUGHBRED AUCTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES I. INTRODUCTION In today’s thoroughbred racing world, sometimes what you see is not at all what you get. Even veteran horsemen will admit that “[t]here is a fine line between the showmanship of showing a horse at its fullest and fraud.”1 Most surprisingly, this deception often begins long before a thoroughbred has even run its first race. Sales practices that may appear fraudulent to horse racing outsiders are tolerated, or even accepted as customary practice, at thoroughbred auctions.2 For example, before being sold, horses are sometimes injected with steroids to make their chests appear stronger.3 Agents, hired to bid for prospective owners, have been caught defrauding their principals by colluding with sellers and accepting undisclosed commissions.4 Sellers even use agents to bid on their own 1 Joe Drape, No Gift Horses Here, So Look in Their Mouths, N.Y.

  • Special Issue Horse Genetics DIRECTOR’S Message
    CENTER FOR EQUINE HEALTH SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE • UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS SUMMER 2020 Special Issue Horse Genetics DIRECTOR’S Message s an equine genetics researcher, I am particularly excited to share A this special issue of the Horse Report with you. Inside, you will find a roadmap to many of the currently available equine genetic tests, including the AQHA “five-panel” test, and more. The equine genome sequence was published in 2009, the result of a years- long collaborative effort by the international equine research community. This resource drastically changed how researchers approach equine genetics and accelerated the rate of discovery. Increased availability and affordability allowed the application of advanced molecular tools to equine diseases and traits. As a result, genetic tests are available in a variety of breeds. Most available tests are for simple, Mendelian diseases and traits – those caused by a single gene or locus. Complex diseases and traits likely involve more than one gene and may be influenced by environmental effects. The 2018 release of a new equine genome sequence assembly, coupled with cost reductions that make whole-genome sequencing possible for large numbers of horses, are enabling research in these areas. As an equine geneticist and veterinarian, I am especially interested in applying whole genome sequencing and advanced diagnostic tools to equine precision medicine. This highly individualized approach will focus on early detection and prevention of disease, taking into account both genetic information and environmental factors. The idea is to target individuals based on their clinical condition as well as their unique body chemistry and genetics.

  • Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan
    Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan Divine horses, equine aristocrats, fabled steeds and effulgent diamonds - such flowery epithets have been lavished upon that unique equine breed - the Akhal-Teke. Prized by Alexander the Great, Darius the Great, Genghis Khan, Roman emperors, Marco Polo, and many others, the Akhal-Tekes have served people for over 3,000 years. These are one of the most beautiful, elegant and proud horses in the world. Its endurance and resistance to heat are second to none. The Akhal-Tekes come from the Kara-Kum Desert in Turkmenistan. It is a place for the toughest people and equines. The Turkmens would never have survived without the Akhal-Teke, and vice versa. Turkmens were the first desert people to produce a horse ideal for the tough desert conditions. Akhal-Teke horses are thought to be one of the oldest surviving horse breeds. Today's Akhal-Teke is a race, sports and endurance horse, and a riveting circus performer. The Akhal-Teke takes its name from a Turmen tribe Teke living in the Akhal oasis. The Turkmen horse-breeders have been perfecting the appearance and muscular system of the thoroughbred racers for ages in concordance with traditions and customs of their ancestors. Traditions of selection and feeding, reproduction and training of horses were handed over from generation to generation. A Turkmen has never separated himself from a horse. A horse was a family member; it was cherished and valued higher than one’s own life. A profile of Yanardag, a stallion known for its beautiful appearance and great racing qualities, is in the center of the State Emblem of Turkmenistan.

  • About Irish Horses
    Playland Farm, LLC About Irish Draught and Sport Horses About Irish Draught and Sport Horses The Irish Draught breed has had over a century of selected breeding in creating the sound, sensible, and athletic horse that is known around the world today. The Irish Draught (pronounced "draft") breed is more versatile and lighter than the typical European heavier drafts due to the infusion of both Spanish and Thoroughbred blood. In the early 20th century, the Irish farmer needed a horse that was strong, docile, athletic, and easy to keep. The horses were required to be able to work the land during the week, jump and gallop Saturday during the fox-hunt, and pull a carriage to church on Sunday. Today the versatile Irish Draught horse is characterized as a horse with great soundness, durability, and stamina. The Irish Draught Sport Horse is a refinement of the already light warm-blooded Irish Draught horse typically with the Thoroughbred horse. The cross has been a successful cross coupling the speed, intelligence, and heart of the Thoroughbred with the calm and sensible temperament, incredible jumping ability, and soundness of the Irish Draught. The popular Irish Sport Horse cross is usually ¾ TB and ¼ Irish Draught in order to receive the preferred degree of refinement. This cross takes two generations to breed from the purebred Irish Draught, and is questioned by some breeders, in regards to having enough Irish blood to possess the wonderful Irish traits. Playland Farm has created an ultra-refined Irish Sport Horse within one generation of breeding Irish stock, that still possess' a high degree of Irish blood and virtues.
