Ovohorse, leader in equine reproduction and animal cloning, has announced what will be a historic and revolutionary milestone in the equestrian world. The Malaga-based company, thanks to the cloning process, will bring back to life legendary horses that were born 40 years ago and are now deceased. This will be the first time in history that deceased animals will be brought back to life.
This launch will redefine the preservation of genetic heritage in the equestrian world, opening a new horizon for science and elite breeders who want to incorporate DNA from equestrian legends across disciplines into their breeding programmes.
Ovohorse’s embryologist and CEO, Enrique Criado, said that the ‘dream of bringing back the champions who transformed equestrian sport is becoming a reality. An unprecedented event for both science and breeders around the world.
Thanks to these scientific advances, breeders and horse lovers will be able to access the genetic excellence of the late Thor des Chaines, Sophie du Château, Une Étoile d’Elle, Charites and Harmonie.
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 jumping and dressage.
- Average age of the original specimens: All cloned horses have an average age at death of 25 years, having lived a life full of achievements and leaving an indelible legacy.
- Deceased: All five cloned horses are deceased legends. Their genetic contributions have been preserved through advanced cloning techniques for their high genetic value and contribution to equestrian sporting history.
- Global Availability: Clones will be available through international auctions via the Ovohorse website.
- Flexible Procurement Options: Buyers will be able to choose between clones ready for breeding or competition.
These are the most outstanding equine specimens:
- Thor des Chaines: Olympic representative at Sydney 2000, known for his precision and balance in the ring.
- Sophie du Château: Mother of international champions and with an unsurpassed genetic heritage in show jumping.
- Une Étoile d’Elle: Best broodmare in France (1999). A matriarch whose genetic line continues to set milestones.
- Charites: A pillar of dressage. Her legacy lives on in elite competitions.
- Harmonie: A show jumping legend with descendants who have triumphed in international competitions.In this way, Ovohorse continues to position itself as a world reference in equine biotechnology, offering innovative solutions that respect and exalt the tradition of the equestrian world.
