Abstract The Pura Raza Española (PRE) horse is an autochthonous Spanish horse
characterized by its versatility, mental balance, and its balanced conformation, which makes …

In the breeding plans of animals, it is essential to have sound estimates of genetic
parameters for economically important traits. Over the previous years, genetic parameter …

The measurement of morphometric traits in horses is important for determining breed
qualification and is one of the main selection criteria for the species. The development of an …

To date, the biomechanical dynamics in camelids have not been addressed, although it
might be a factor that can affect selection and breeding in this species. Therefore, the aim of …

Simple Summary Current selection in the Italian Heavy Draught Horse (IHDH) is based on
linear type traits scored on foals, but the studbook admission of candidate mares and stallion …

It is well known that locomotion and morphology are related. Several studies have been
performed over the years showing the genetic correlation between them in horses. However …

Horse conformation has been proposed as an indirect indicator of performance, since their
genetic correlations are often positive and high. In Pura Raza Español (PRE) horses, the …

This study was conducted to evaluate morphometric traits of horse ecotypes reared in four
