DNA Testing Owner Review

11/23/2024

Meet MCC's Scottish Princess, she is one of the few perlinos in the Chincoteague pony breed. She has been tested by our partner lab Etalon Equine Genetics and is owned by Hart’s Island Pony Ranch.
Here is a review from her owner on how testing with Etalon has enhanced her breeding program.
"I have been using Etalon for several years now and I cannot tell you how helpful their testing has been! Before I tested my herd I was operating on a lot of unknowns, especially with the main Chincoteague pony breeding herd being feral. There was no way for me to confirm island bloodlines and only a handful of ponies over the years have had some color testing done. When I tested my herd I was amazed at the wealth of information it gave me and how it has helped me with not only my breeding program but also in the day to day management of my herd. One of my favorite features is "Find my Herd", this compares the genetic information of my pony with other ponies in Etalon's database and shows me relatives up to the 3rd generation. This has been extremely valuable to my breeding program as it has helped me create crosses that have more genetic variability which will strengthen the breed as a whole. I am so excited to see more ponies get tested and more information about the breed get discovered!
~ Rebekah (owner of Hart's Island Pony Ranch)
