Zinto Labs announces its first proprietary test for the genetics of health and performance in sport horses, predicting a horse’s suitability for show jumping or dressage with around 90% accuracy.

Today marks a significant milestone for Zinto Labs as we announce our first new proprietary test for the genetics of health and performance in sport horses.

Predicting whether a horse is genetically suited to show jumping or dressage – with around 90% accuracy – is a genuine leap forward for sport horse breeding. For breeders and trainers, that means large cost savings, more focused effort, and more horses trained for what they can truly excel in.

What excites us most is the breadth of application: from identifying a foal’s optimal discipline at birth, to finding the right second career for a retiring racehorse.

Genetics doesn’t replace horsemanship – it informs it.

This continues our commitment to peer-reviewed science. The study is published in the journal Animal Genetics and it’s just the beginning of what our new genomic tools can do for the sport horse world.
