Gait Gene Study in Sweden is Continuing!
Lene has informed us the gait gene study is continuing in Sweden at the university and they need more gaited Curly samples. If you submitted already, do not submit the same horses, but you can submit new gaited Curlies. You will need to follow their instructions for hair samples (below) and fill out their questionnaire (below). When the university contacts you with the gait gene results, please fwd those results to the ICHO office as this is part of our continuing gait study as well. We do not have a real deadline for this, so you can send all samples and questionnaire to the ICHO Office- 322 Tulie Gate Rd, Tularosa, NM 88352
Please send in your gaited Curlies, there is no cost to do this. Thanks! ICHO Office

ICHO's GAIT GENE STUDY for Curly Horses - testing at TAMU
A New study being conducted by ICHO for testing for the gait gene DMRT3 in Curly and Smooth Coat Curly horses!
ICHO Gait Gene Study
Purpose: To allow ICHO members to DNA test their Curlies for the gait gene, DMRT3. ICHO will document each horse tested in a database and post results on our Gait Gene research webpage. Data including:
Horse’s Name, Reg# (Owner’s option to list horses name & reg# with posted results on the webpage) sex of horse, Gaited Lines, gait/s performed, sire & dam & gait/s performed, date tested, LabACC#, and if DMRT3 gait gene is present in 1 or 2 copies. Results are posted here- http://ichopage.weebly.com/gait-gene-study.html
ICHO is host of the first Curly horse Gait Gene Study in USA. This information is valuable to know how many Curlies carrying Gaited lines have inherited the Gait Gene and what other lines also carry the gait gene and if they are heterozygous (1 copy) or homozygous (2 copies) for DMRT3. We will also document gait’s performed to the number of gait genes inherited. This study is for Curlies and Curly Smooth Coats only and not for other non-Curly gaited breeds.
Requirements: Mane or tail pulled hair samples, a TYPED in DNA Gait Gene form typed, cost $30.00 DNA test per Curly. All forms and payment sent to ICHO Office. Payment may be by check, money order or PayPal. For international and all non USA Payments, use PayPal on our webpage PAYMENT Online
or use PayPal button at bottom of this page.
All testing will be done at TAMU.
Time Frame: The study will take place for 2 years starting June 1, 2013 through June 1, 2015. If a need arises to continue the study longer, it will be discussed by the board.
Please fill out the Gait Gene DNA Form completely found here on our webpage under DNA forms- http://ichocurlyhorses.org
or download below.
The Form must be typed for ease of reading, just type in the required info, then print, sign, date and check off permission area for use of your horse’s name on our results webpage.
Send the completed form and pulled hair sample with payment or copy of payment made online to the
ICHO Office, 322 Tulie Gate, Tularosa, NM 88352.
You will receive a copy of the DNA results mailed to your address as well as being part of Gait Gene Study the results will be posted on our research webpage. Thank you for being a part of the ICHO GAIT GENE STUDY!
