Study: Arabians with certain genes coding for less muscle fatigue, more time-efficient energy production, and improved muscular contraction have better racing results than those without.
Learn about the stages of labor and the normal post-foaling chain of events so you can react quickly if issues arise.
Learn how to pinpoint parturition (foaling) so you can avoid surprises and prepare for a healthy delivery.

Give your new foal the best chance for a healthy start to life by understanding the red flags—and the green lights—of neonatal health.
Five clues she’s not ready to breed on the first heat after foaling, along with principles to follow if she is.
Researchers also looked at the long-standing belief that the Warmblood fragile foal syndrome mutation began in Arabians. The study’s results don’t support an Arabian origin for the disease.
Scientists are rapidly homing in on the specific areas of the equine genome linked to this debilitating condition.
Measuring mRNA markers might offer an economical, effective, and noninvasive way to detect horses at risk of catastrophic injury.
A Brazilian researcher recommends genetic testing of mares showing “stallionlike” behavioral characteristics or infertility.
A study found inflammatory response in horses depends not on the deworming drug used but rather on the parasites present at the time of treatment.
Learn about the genetic test every American Quarter Horse Association breeding stallion must undergo and the five diseases it screens for.
A genomic study of horses with CIA found the condition is highly heritable. Here’s what else the researchers learned about horses that don’t sweat.
This is the first genetic variant for hypoparathyroidism identified in any domestic animal species. Testing is now available.
An equine genetics company is expanding a study about kissing spines in horses. The deadline for sending samples is Oct. 10.
Some of the Arabians in a far-reaching genomic study had as much as 62% of their DNA coming from Thoroughbreds.
