Looking ahead...

Once we've carried out the required tests, we'll contact you to explain our findings as well as providing a hard-copy DNA test certificate for each horse.

You'll also be issued the results in 'coded' format, i.e. a series of letters that best describe your horse's colour makeup. Enter this data into our online coat colour calculator - and it will give you percentages of foal colours you can expect depending on the colour of the breeding mate you suggest to the calculator.
