Peecans	CowgirlLindz - 2014-04-26 10:46 AM As long as the horse was N/N impressive wouldn't turn me off. My gelding goes back twice way back. Just patterning him now:) When I looked up the sire on all breed if you look at the info they have genetic test results only thing that popped out to me was this HERDA-N/Hrd (does that mean he is heterozygous?). IE neg/positive for herda? That would concern me if the sire is neg/pos that means the foal has a 50/50 chance of having herda. Herda is recessive, so the horse caries the disease but does not express it, meaning it would only become an issue if you breed to another neg/positive horse and ended up with herda +/+ that colt would be affected. A neg/positive gelding wouldent bother me in the least.

Champ Posts: 19623 Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm	camocowgirl - 2014-04-26 9:28 AM OregonBR - 2014-04-25 2:01 AM Until the last year I would have said if the horse was N/N go for it. But now it's coming out that horses can have other genetic defects that can be just as troublesome and devistating as HYPP. I would recommend testing for all 5 genetic disorders that can be tested for by pulling hair. There are other disorders that you might be able to get a clue they are present with a blood test indicating elevated CK and AST levels. Horses can be N/N for HYPP and still have PSSM1 or 2 and/or MH. Those are dominant disorders that can be expressed in the horse with only one copy present. I don't have any idea about all the other genetic disorders you mentioned. I am out of the loop when it comes to that sort of thing. I did find a page for zips heaven sent: http://www.yarnellefarms.com/stallions/zips-heaven-sent/ Looks like he has been tested... I can't seem to find anything on impress me page other than hypp n/n.... do you know how much the dna testing costs? He is 6 yrs old. They don't show MH test done. But I sure applaud them for getting the rest done. He is n/pos for Herda which isn't an issue because you won't be breeding him, so you're good for that much.
