Revolutionizing Horse Health & Performance Insights
Cutting-edge whole genome DNA analysis services for horses. We cover all known genetic markers and even yet unknown future discoveries!
Why EquineTest
Results in 3‑4 Weeks
EquineTest requires meticulous attitude and includes not only the laboratory processing but also the bioinformatic analysis and the creation of a report for each horse.
Unveiling the Genetic Secrets
EquineTest offers you the ability to read and store your horse’s DNA sequence forever. You never need to repeat the test because the DNA sequence is basically unchanged.
Data Reanalysis Once a Year
It can be said that sequencing is done in a few days, but data analysis is never completely finished. Once sequenced, the DNA sequence can be saved and returned to at any time.

How It Works
Receive a Collection Package
We will deliver a package directly to your doorstep. It contains everything needed for a trouble-free blood sample collection by your veterinarian. After collecting the blood sample, simply send it back to us within 24 hours following the instructions you will also receive from us.
Exclusive Data Delivery to Your Hands
We ensure the utmost privacy and exclusivity as we courier all the invaluable data and meticulously crafted reports directly to your hands. Of course, we remain at your disposal in case of questions.
Select and Submit
Take charge of your genetic exploration journey by selecting the count of horses to be analyzed and any desired optional extras. Submit your order and expect a prompt response from our team.
DNA Analysis Unveiled
We will isolate the genomic DNA of your horse from the sent blood sample. In our state-of-the-art laboratory, we will perform a whole genome DNA sequencing revealing the complex genetic information of your beloved horse.
EquineTest Online Storage
Once a year, if you wish, we will update your horse’s DNA sequencing report to reflect the current knowledge of horse’s markers of interest. Please notice there is a fast development in this field and considering the age and expected lifetime of your horse it may be worth it to run this update service regularly. It will allow you to keep up with the latest scientific findings which are carefully monitored and implemented into our reports by our team of specialists.

Leopard Complex and Eye Health Issues
The leopard complex is a group of white spotting patterns, including the leopard, few-spot leopard, snowcap blanket, lace blanket, spotted blanket, varnish roan, snowflake, and frosted, speckled, and mottled patterns.
The Speed Gene
Horses are an exceptionally athletic species, and even though many of their traditional purposes have faded away over time, some reasons why we, humans, keep them remain. In the past, horses were generally kept for reasons different from today’s. While the number of horses kept solely for sport and status used to be low, today, sport horses, along with leisure horses, represent the majority of the population.
When the Test Results are Negative but the Symptoms are Present
It may have happened to you, your friend, a family member, your dog or your horse. A genetic test was run in the hope of finding a reason behind your or their health problems, but the test results were negative. No questions were answered, and the patient was left undiagnosed. For now.
Genetics in the Face of Doping
At the beginning of the year, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) announced that racehorses in Britain would undergo testing for gene doping with immediate effect. Gene doping has been banned since 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) both in humans and animals, and so far, there is no evidence that gene doping is actually taking place in horses.
