is it possible to DNA test a horse that has no known information of sire and dam to see what breed he is or who his parents were???

I have the same problem. I got my gelding from Canada and I have recently gotten into aqua shows. However I can only enter the open classes. The judges told me he has all the characteristics of a quarter horse but I have no way to tell. If there is a DNA test I could give him to tell what breed and if he was registered that would be fantastic.

I also have the same question. I bought a loving quarter horse that has no papers and no information on him. The owner passed away and his friend took him in. is there any way to tell if he is a quarter horse?

I also have the same question as Brooke and Sandra. I have a are that is a quater horse, sheis aproximately 25 years old. I would love to know what breeding she is from for I would like to find another horse with her breeding. She is a beautiful mare, to look at her ou would thing she is between ten and fifteen not the 25+ that she is. She is the best horse I have ever owned and I have owned a few. It would be wonderful to be able to find out how she is bred and look for another one of the same breeding. Please help for I know she will not live forever. Thank you

I have the same question as Brooke and Sandra. I do have an 13 year old Quarter Horse mare. I own her about 3-4 years now. She is not registered because she was sold when she was 2-3 yaers old by people who where not interested in that, because there was a problem with the people’s health. I do not know her sire or dam. I wondered if you can find out about her breeding by DNA. She is a good and beautiful mare, I would like to breed her. Can she be registed through DNA testing if she is ends up being a Quarter Horse and how do you go about doing this? Thank you.

I purchased a horse that came with a certificate of registration Parentage verified 1yr ago, but I lost the origianl certificate. How do get another one? I dont remember the original name of the horse nor the person’s name I got it from. I do know I purchased it from someone in Washingtion State last year. If I would like to sell it, how do I prove the Parentage verified? Thanks.

I have the same question as Brooke about a mare at 6 years old who was rescued by myself. She is a quarter horse, but the last owner who chose not to treat her right or feed her, will not give any info about her lineage. I was just really curious since she has more intelligence than any horse I have ever owned. I wondered if you can find out about her breeding by DNA like you can with people. I know it sounds off the wall but I was just curious. She is such a great horse,I was just wanting to know who she was.It won’t matter because I can’t say enough good about her. She’s here to stay. Like I said, just like to know… Thank you

We have aquired a 7 year old mare. She is beautiful with a good disposition. We would like to breed her. The only problem is that 2 years ago she was left at a deer camp to starve and was rescued. She looks like a quarter horse but we have no other history on her. Can she be registed through DNA testing if she is ends up being a Quarter Horse and how do you go about doing this.

I’m curious why the parents need to be tested again if they’re already on file with the AQHA. I have a fantastic filly that I can’t register because of an ownership dispute involving her mother. Why can’t her DNA be presented to AQHA and they use the parent’s file to prove parentage?
