You can assist us in this endeavor by submitting a simple hair sample!⚜️ ALL purebred Friesian horses 25 years and older are encouraged to submit.⚜️ We can accept samples worldwide. See form below for details.⚜️ Horses with interesting genotypes may be asked to submit a blood sample on a voluntary basis for DNA sequencing at the Foundation’s expense. 👉 Submission Form: www.fenwayfoundation.com/_files/ugd/588c21_a300ce70eaaa447ba3ecc2e9e983c94e.pdf ...
