12 BENEFITS FOR BREEDERS TO JOIN ABCR

1. PERSONAL SUPPORT: A District Representative is at your service and happy to assist you regarding any question about the Curly Horse Registration.
2. REGISTRY SERVICES: Expect all Horse Registry Services at ABCR like issuing Pedigree Certificates, DNA sampling, Horse transfers or re-issue of missing paperwork.
3. DNA RESEARCH: We can research all our DNA profiles if needed. This way we can check if animals qualitfy as offspring or parents of another animal.
4. FREE SEARCHABLE ONLINE STUDBOOK: ABCR provides a fully linked ABCR Curly Horse Studbook ONLINE with more than 7,500 entries and currently 2,400 pictures including all ABCR horses. You can surf the fully linked pedigrees with pictures, explore full and half siblings, see the offspring and have a look at reverse and vertical pedigrees. You can also do trial matings and use the ABCR name generator.
5. COEFFICENT OF INBREEDING (COI) AND PEDIGREE QUALITY: ABCR offers COI in correlation with the pedigree quality for all ABCR horses online. We encourage all of our breeders to check the COI before breeding, because a COI of below 1 % is recommended to avoid inbreeding depression within a population (DGfZ (1992)).
6. SIBLINGS VIEW: ABCR offers siblings views for all ABCR horses online. Find full and half siblings of a given ABCR animal at-a-glance.
7. VERTICAL PEDIGREES: ABCR offers vertical pedigrees for all ABCR horses online. Vertical pedigrees list full siblings of each horse in the pedigree at-a glance, which as a group represent various combinations of their parents’ genes, and are good indicators of the range of possibilities that are likely to be passed on. Using vertical pedigree analysis gives breeders interesting insights e.g. about confirmation or the extreme characteristic that cannot be tracked in a direct manner.
8. REVERSE PEDIGREES: ABCR offers reverse pedigrees for all ABCR horses online. Reverse pedigrees show offspring of the offspring of a given animal.
9. TRIAL MATINGS: Try out matings between ABCR horses and look how the confirmation or other characteristics would match.
10. NAME GENERATOR: Generator for horse names based on more than 40 years of ABCR Curly Horse names – always new and fancy combinations, fun guaranteed!
