Horse breeding programs
Horse breeding programs are organized efforts to produce horses with desirable traits for specific purposes, such as racing, work, or companionship. Breeders select parent horses based on their genetics, health, and performance history to enhance qualities like speed, strength, or temperament. These programs may involve careful monitoring of lineage and health testing to reduce genetic diseases. The goal is to improve the breed or create horses suited for particular tasks, ensuring they meet industry standards and buyers' expectations. Successful programs balance genetics with care and training, resulting in healthy, capable horses.
