Thor des Chaines
In the late 1990s, Thierry Pomel crossed paths with a young horse that would change both his riding career and his life. A few years after their first meeting, and following years of training and dedication, Thor des Chaines led him to compete in the Sydney Olympics and the rotating final of the World Equestrian Games in Rome in 1998, where they won a silver medal.

Preservation of Cell Lines
Preserving cell lines is critical for safeguarding the genetic information of competition horses, particularly those with valuable pedigrees. This ensures their genetic legacy remains intact in case of accidents or health issues.
Preservation Process
The process involves a simple biopsy (2 to 4 mm), stored in liquid nitrogen at –196°C, preserving the DNA indefinitely. This technique is non-invasive and conducted with utmost respect for animal welfare.
Applications of Preservation
Cell line preservation enables cloning in case of the animal’s loss, maintaining exceptional characteristics. It also supports scientific and veterinary research, allowing the study of genetic diseases and the development of personalized treatments.
