Ovohorse, a leader in equine reproduction and animal cloning, has announced what will be a historic and revolutionary milestone in the equestrian world. Thanks to the cloning process, the Malaga-based company will bring back to life legendary horses born 40 years ago that have already passed away. This will be the first time in history that deceased animals regain life again.
This launch will redefine the preservation of genetic heritage in the equestrian world, opening up a new horizon for science and elite breeders who wish to incorporate the DNA of equestrian legends from different disciplines into their horse breeding programmes.
The embryologist and CEO of Ovohorse, Enrique Criado, has stated that the “dream of bringing back the champions who transformed the equestrian sport is coming true. An unprecedented event for both science and breeders around the world.”
Thanks to these scientific advances, breeders and lovers of the equestrian world will be able to access the genetic excellence of horses such as Thor des Chaines, Sophie du Château, Une Étoile d’Elle, Charites and Harmonie, all of whom have already passed away.
The clones of these horses have the following characteristics:
- Access to Legendary Genetics: The clones faithfully represent the genetics of these horses (99.99% identical genetics), whose contributions revolutionised disciplines such as show jumping and dressage.
- Average age of the original horses: All cloned horses had an average age of 25 years at the time of their passing, having lived a life full of achievements and leaving an indelible legacy.
- Deceased horses: The five cloned horses are legends that have passed away. Their genetic contributions have been preserved thanks to advanced cloning techniques, due to their high genetic value and their contribution to equestrian sporting history.
- Global Availability: The clones will be available through international auctions on the Ovohorse website.
- Flexible Acquisition Options: Buyers will be able to choose between clones ready for breeding or for competition.
