KNOW YOUR CHINCOTEAGUE PONY DOWN TO ITS DNA
|
The International Chincoteague Pony Association & Registry has officially partnered with Etalon Equine Genetics to advance the knowledge of Chincoteague Pony breed! Below is information on how you can identify your Chincoteague Pony's health, color, performance & ancestry with Etalon Diagnostics' comprehensive equine DNA testing.
Your Chincoteague Pony does not have to be registered with the ICPAR to be tested and included in Etalon's Chincoteague Pony DNA databank. All Chincoteague Ponies are welcome regardless of registration status or owner membership status. |

How Do I Find My Ponies Relatives or Narrow Down Their Sire and Dam through DNA Testing?
The Ancestry testing will show your pony's relatives and create a family tree through the "find my herd feature". Your pony's family tree will automatically update as more family members are tested.
Eventually the family tree will allow for parentage verification of ponies born on Assateague but it will take some time to test enough ponies in order have enough information to confirm parentage by siblings.

What does Ancestry testing tell us?
- A individual pony's relatives to the third generation (blood relatives will show under the "find my herd" feature).
- Helps narrow down a foal's sire/pedigree
- Tells us the inbreeding coefficient value (genetic diversity in the pony)
- Breeds that influence the Chincoteague pony
