Jame asked in PetsHorses · 1 decade ago

Do you know the HYPP status or any other info about ZIPS PANDEMONIUM?

I know his sire was N/H and would like to know if my friend's horse should be tested (he is her sire). I cannot find anything on the web about him.

Update:

I highly doubt that he is N/N, as one would think that they would be advertising it. Also, many people INTENTIONALLY breed horses with this genetic defect because they don't think the can win without it.

    more than likely he is n/n,

    unless ther is a positive on the dams side

    I don't know if you have ever seen a horse with it in person, but you can usualy tell visually if you have an experienced eye. horses that are H/H are easily spotted.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if for peace of mind, you want to have it tested, there is nothing wrong with that.

    The easiest thing maybe to just have your friends horse tested for piece of mind. Especially if the are exhibiting symptoms. It probably will be alot quicker than going through the paper trail that is appearing right now.

    I would imagine that they would have tested him before breeding espically since the sire of him had to be tested. Generally you can just call and ask if he is. Lets hope negative for yourt friends sake.
