Equestrian Genetics

Equestrian genetics refers to how traits like coat color, height, athletic ability, and temperament are inherited from parent horses to their offspring. It involves understanding how specific genes and combinations influence these characteristics. Breeders use genetic knowledge to select parent horses to achieve desired traits, improving health, performance, and appearance. It’s a scientific way to predict and influence a horse's qualities, though environmental factors also play role. Overall, equestrian genetics helps ensure better breeding decisions and healthier, more suitable horses for their intended disciplines.
