Ancestry VGnome™
Tracing Equestrian Roots: A Journey Through Ancestry
Our Horse ancestry DNA testing compares a horse’s DNA to a reference panel of 50 breeds, calculating the likelihood of originating from each breed. The top three probable ancestral breeds are reported, although precise percentages are not provided due to genetic similarities among horses.
The test is reasonably accurate for purebred horses, but accuracy may decrease as more breeds are involved. Related breeds may yield similar probabilities, and the reported breeds may not fully represent the horse’s ancestry, offering an informed analysis based on genetic similarities.
What’s included in the Ancestry report?
Ancestry Panel
Prove a horse’s lineage and to find out its closest genetic relatives. Testing is in accordance with the requirements of the International Stud Book Committee (ISBC).
Performance Panel
Identify horses with the potential to excel in specific disciplines.
Color Panel
By testing for coat color heritability, Anglo-Arabian horse breeders can build on their knowledge of genetics and apply it to their breeding program.
Health Panel
Identify horses at risk for genetic diseases and health conditions that can be prevented.
