Recently got arab mare..*question on how to find her bloodlines?*

[KlassieKeepsake]

I recently got this beautiful Arabian mare, and I'm curious about her bloodlines. I was told she either never had papers, or they were lost. all i really know about her parents is that the father's name has the word "dark" in it [which is really no help,LOL.] I was also told she's either Russian or Egyptian. Is there anyway i can find her bloodlines?

Unless you have a possible location of the stud I think your out of luck. If you can get a location call a local breeder of Arabians and see if they can help, give the year before her birth if you have it, and ask about studs in the area at that time.

Dark is just not enough. I can think of 3 studs in my life with dark in their name, none of them Arabian though.

If your so lucky to get a breeder/stud possibility if they keep their record books as they should they would still have info on the dam. If the foal was registered and they were informed as they should be (and again they kept records) you could have a pedigree. You will not get papers however, since it's all conjecture that this is the foal that resulted.

thank you for the info

Contact the Arabian Horse Association at www.arabianhorses.org

If BOTH of her parents are DNA typed, you may be able to send in a blood or hair sample to get her papers.

RSD Dark Victory is an Arabian stallion out of Ellensburg, WA

You may want to contact them and see if they may know something.

I second the suggestion to get in contact with the Arabian Horse Association

Tell them that you have a mare that might have papers and you'd like to have her dna tested to identify her. They will tell you the paperwork you need to print out and send in to get her dna tested. I do believe it's around $60.

Good luck

Thank you everyone! I've contacted Dark Victory's owner.

I've found it -- Her father is the famous "Darq" and she is Darq Snow!

Cool!

Neat name too!

alright, new problem.

I was told she was 11-12 [the vet said she was 8 about 3 years ago] but Darq died at the end of 1993.. Also there was no record of a "darq snow" in the arab data source. i am pretty sure she is registered, though. I was told her papers were lost when she was seized/bought from an abusive owner. :/ Any suggestions of what to do next? I'm now going to contact www.arabianhorses.com but who knows how much help they will be
