What if the foals dam died or is owned by someone else in an unknown location and there is no DNA or blood test results on file and no way to obtain any?
The foal can be tested to verify the sire without consideration of the dam. In that case, it will be eligible to receive Part-Trakehner registration papers regardless of the dam’s breed. It will be eligible for the ATA awards program but not for breeding approval. If you make a habit of pulling hair on any horse that dies or that you sell, you may be able to avoid problems later. It is best to go ahead and DNA test your mare. If that is not possible, just store the hair sample in a plastic bag in a cool, dry location away from direct light in case you need it at a later date.
