At EasyDNA, we strive for accuracy and reliability each and every time. Our Horse Parentage test is an extremely accurate test that scans for 23 genetic markers and confirms whether the alleged sire is the biological father of the foal. This test is one of the most comprehensive tests on the market and is designed to ensure that you get the accurate results you want,
The sample collection process is extremely easy-to-follow and apply. You don’t even need the assistance of a vet. Once you order the test, a kit will be sent to you together with comprehensive instructions on how to collect the sample from your horse. Then send it back to us using our prepaid package and you'll get the results back by email in as soon as 10 working days.
Results will be issued within 10 working days from receipt of your samples at the laboratory. Results will be sent to you by email unless otherwise requested (additional charges may apply).
Why is parentage testing important?
A real guarantee of pedigree can only be scientifically accurate if it the pedigree can be genetically proven. In the past, pedigree was manually recorded, based on close observation. However, these traditional methods of recording ancestry and pedigree leave room for many errors. Parentage DNA testing is most accurate in cases where the dam, foal and sire are analysed. Results for this test are ready in 10 business days.

Collecting horse DNA samples
Samples from horses are collected using hair. Generally, swab samples are not recommended due to the high contamination rate which is mostly due to the horse always grazing. Hair samples offer far higher chances of success. The DNA is extracted from the hair follicle. This is the only part of the hair that contains nuclear DNA. Do not cut or pick up shed hairs as we will not be able to test them.Pluck 12-25 hairs by wrapping the hair around your finger close to the skin and pulling quickly and evenly.
For adult horses, the hairs can be plucked from the maneFor foals, hairs can be plucked from the tailTesting other horses later on
Once we have tested any horse, the laboratory will store that DNA profile in the laboratory. This means that if you need to carry out parentage testing on other horses and compare the DNA profiles of these horses to a horse/s that has/have already been tested, we will not need to test the horse we already tested. You will only need to send samples of horses that have not been tested.
Note: We cannot use profiles generated from other laboratories as they may use a different set of markers.
Discover more about your horse!
Every horse has a distinctive DNA profile which can be very useful to identify them in case they get stolen or lost. Explore the unique way of genetic identification with the Equine DNA Profiling test. You can also find out your horse’s genetic susceptibility to different genetic diseases with Horse Hereditary Disease testing. Read more about the Horse DNA testing services we offer.

FAQs
There is no age limit for DNA testing. However, from 30 to 50 hairs with intact roots are needed for accurate testing. If a young horse is being submitted for testing we recommend pulling tail hairs.
Not at all. This test is run using root hairs, without drawing any blood whatsoever. Simply pull hair samples from the mane or tail and send them back to us for testing.
Absolutely! We do not need registration information to test, simply let us know the horse’s breed.
