BEDMINSTER, NJ, June 06, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Replica Farm announced today that Sarah Baldwin of San Marcos, California is cloning her Grand Prix Jumper "Pacifico". The retired show jumper is now 27 years old and is Sarah's favorite horse from her show jumping career. "I am thrilled to be part of this exciting technology", she said. "I want to get started right away so that I can have another horse with Pacifico's outstanding genetics during my lifetime." Sarah competed Pacifico in the Volvo World Cup Finals in 1992 and the World Cup Finals in 1994, among many other successes in their career. When asked at this year's World Cup Finals in Las Vegas if she would compete at such an event again, Sarah said "I would if I was on a horse like Pacifico!"
Equine cloning is an advanced breeding technology that results in a foal with the same DNA as its donor horse. It is quickly becoming popular among those who have an outstanding performance horse, as a way to reproduce the qualities of a particular horse that resulted in success. Former Olympian Mark Watring of Thousand Oaks, California is cloning his Olympic Grand Prix jumper "Sapphire" as a way to both provide breeding services from an outstanding, proven athlete and create a new prospect to compete on who has similar characteristics to the original. Replica Farm is helping Mark realize this dream by assisting with the project. Plans are to offer breeding services to the Holsteiner stallion when he reaches maturity. Shares are available for purchase in Sapphire's breeding syndicate.
Gene Banking is the process of storing a horse's DNA for future use. It gives horse owners the peace of mind that if anything should happen to their horse, the DNA is safely preserved. Gene Banking costs $1500 per horse, and a small tissue sample is all that is needed. Many horse owners are now Gene Banking their show horses and dogs as an insurance policy against sudden loss, and to keep all their options open for the future.
