We are always keen to discuss the development of new projects and ideas with owners and breeders and to see if we can provide them with a tailored project which will help them fulfill their racing and breeding objectives. Naturally, client confidentiality is always strictly respected.

We can assess the genetic relatedness of horses to one another, likely stamina potential and similarities, potential prepotency or lack of it, inbreeding levels etc. All this allows us to solve the most interesting of breeding and racing puzzles which can help to reorganise and restructure policies for the better. 

Example: We are using our range of analyses to help a client determine genetic similarities within a group of home-bred mares from a prominent family in order to enhance culling decisions. 

It is a simple example and represents the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of what can be achieved harnessing new genetic technologies.

We can even develop new tests for the ultimate exclusive use of the client commissioning a project. 

Example: We are currently developing a genetic test for a specific enzyme variant for the sole use of a single client in helping to determine breeding and racing suitabilities.

Successful breeders and owners are enquiring, deep-thinking people. They question conventional ideas and philosophies and they have an inherent interest in what makes a horse tick. In short, they develop their OWN theories.

Genetic analysis can provide the tools to help them test these theories and even improve upon them. Using our own armoury of tests and databases together with analyses commonly developed for application to a wide range of different species we are able provide clients with answers to the questions they have always pondered.
