|
Horse height is determined by several environmental and genetic factors. There are 4 genes known to be responsible for determining the horse height. Scientists have recently identified a variant in the LCORL gene that is associated with horse height in warmblood horses and a test is now available at Laboklin. The test enables breeders to predict the height of the adult horse at withers.
Possible results:
T/T: Normal, approximate height 159 cm
C/T: Medium, approximate height 165 cm
C/C: Tall, approximate height 169 cm
