Arabian Horse

Equinome brings science-led equine genomics to the stewardship of the Arabian horse, giving breeders, owners and registries the confidence to make decisions grounded in evidence rather than assumption. Our tests turn a single sample into insight you can act on.

The Arabian is one of the oldest and most influential horse breeds, prized worldwide for its endurance, athleticism and unmistakable type. It shapes disciplines from endurance racing to the show ring, and its bloodlines run through many modern breeds. Long, closed pedigrees make careful genetic management especially valuable. Our testing covers the full picture, from identity to inherited-health screening, athletic aptitude and breeding-management insight. Whether you are protecting a bloodline, planning a mating or running a registry, the results help you breed with confidence and safeguard the breed for the future.

Performance

The Arabian’s athletic legacy, from the endurance course to the racetrack, is written into its genome. Our performance testing offers insight into the genetic factors associated with athletic aptitude, helping you match a horse to the discipline where it is most likely to excel and inform selection decisions in your programme.

Genetic Health Screening

Like every long-established breed, the Arabian carries a small number of inherited conditions. Because affected foals can only result when both parents are carriers, screening is one of the most powerful tools a breeder has to prevent disease before it occurs.

Our Arabian health panel screens for the heritable conditions recognised in the breed, including:

  • Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
  • Cerebellar Abiotrophy (CA)
  • Lavender Foal Syndrome (LFS)
  • Occipitoatlantoaxial Malformation (OAAM)

Each horse is reported as clear, a carrier, or affected — giving you the information you need to plan matings that avoid producing affected foals while retaining valuable bloodlines in your programme.

Genetic Diversity & Breeding Management

For closely managed and line-bred populations, preserving genetic diversity is as important as pursuing performance. Our genomic breeding tools measure relatedness and diversity across your herd with a precision that pedigree records alone cannot match.

Bespoke projects

Take your animals to the next level.

We design bespoke genomic projects around your objectives. We combine large-scale DNA data, your own records and our research expertise to answer the questions that matter most. We tailor the approach and design a test panel built specifically for your stock.

The result is a clear, evidence-based route to stronger performance, better health and lasting breed value.
