How do I look up a horse's pedigree? ›

Pedigrees for Thoroughbreds as well as many other horses can be found at www.allbreedpedigree.com , though care should be taken to verify all pedigrees. Like the well-known Wikipedia website, www.allpedigree.com allows users to input data, which may or may not be precise.

Another way to determine what breed of horse you own would be to look at its pedigree. If your horse is registered with a breed organization, it should have a set of registration papers with an abbreviated pedigree on file. If your horse is not registered with a specific breed organization, this becomes more difficult.

Pedigree refers to a horse's family tree, with its paternal ancestors- sire/father – on the top, and its maternal ancestors – dam/mother – on the bottom. A horse's pedigree provides insight into its potential ability and value as well as what type of racing your horse will be most suited to.

There are also several online resources such as the Horse & Pony Database that allow members to upload and trace their horse's family history. Even just establishing the full name of your horse is invaluable as most UK studs and breeders have a registered prefix which is added to horses they've bred.

All online research pedigrees are viewed on the web and are available for any AKC-registered dog, 24 hours a day. An online research pedigree includes complete information about dogs in the pedigree, including competition titles and any related health information available (i.e., OFA).

These clusters often align with traditional breed labels or clusters, showing a correlation between DNA and established breed classifications. It is important to note that this is not a test to determine your horse's breed.

Akhal-Teke Horse

One of the oldest breeds to still exist, the Akhal-Teke came from Turkmenistan and is revered in the country to this day. It was back in 1881 that Akhal-Teke breeding farms became official, but their numbers dwindled when the demand for the equine decreased, as well.

A pure breed of horse is one that has a breed registry that is 'closed'. That is, no addition of genetic material from other breeds is tolerated. All individuals recognized to belong in the breed, are foals of mares and stallions in the breed registry. The breed with the oldest known closed registry is the Arabian.

So a great sire can't compensate for a poor dam, but a great dam can produce a great performer with a poor quality sire. Aha! Just as that long-time dog breeder has always said, the dam is more important than the sire in your breeding program, and here finally are the data to prove it. In racehorses, yes.

What are the 3 horse categories for breeds? ›

Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited "hot bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods," such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and "warmbloods," developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating ...

A horse's name printed in bold-faced “black type” letters designates that the horse has won or placed in a stakes race. Horses that win or place in an official AQHA-approved stakes race earn black type on their pedigree. (

Brands: A hot or cold (freeze mark) brand may be found in various areas but is most commonly found on the hip or neck. Some brands are for breed or farm identification; others use numbers or symbols unique to each horse.

A veterinarian or animal shelter often can assist with this. With the microchip information, you might be able to find the horse's previous owner or breeder. Furthermore, in some cases, DNA testing can help identify the horse's sire and dam. This can be key information in recovering the horse's pedigree.

The Equine Microchip Lookup Tool™™ is a universal search engine. The EMLT™ will search all member databases for a match to the entered equine microchip number. If the chip is not found in a member database, the manufacturer of the chip will display so that you can contact them for more information about the horse.

How To Read a Pedigree Chart? First of all, determine whether the condition is recessive or dominant. If the trait is dominant, the trait must be one of the parents'. If the phenotype is recessive, because they may be heterozygous, no parent is expected to have the phenotype.
