Genetic Disorders and the Arabian Horse
... Can't we eliminate genetic diseases by not breeding known carriers? Without a test, it is impossible to identify all carriers. Just because a horse has "so far" never produced an affected foal does not mean it is "clear." Because stallions can sire many offspring, they are more likely to eventually ...
