an e-mail.
Will
you find my horse's parents?
Hopefully. But we don't know. It is possible that we will never find a match
for your horse.
It is also possible that we only find matches that are inconclusive.
How
long will it take for you to find a possible match?
This depends on the amount of the DNA profiles we receive. It is logical that
the more DNA profiles we have, the higher the chances of finding a possible
match. It is possible that we don't find a match right away, but contact you
months or even years later that a possible match has been found.
What
about my personal contact information?
Your contact information is strictly private and will not be published online
or given to other horse owners without your permission.
The name of your horse however will be published in the database.
Will
my studbook accept the results?
That
depends on the studbook your horse is registered in. Almost all international
studbooks accept the results of the database. If you want to make sure your
studbook is one of them you can send us an e-mail or ask your studbook
directly.
ICS
Netherlands and her daughter affiliates do not accept any of the results of the
database. This means they won’t adjust any passports and won’t accept the DNA
profiles that were made through us. If you do want results to be registered in
the ICS Netherlands studbook you will have to ask ICS Netherlands to perform
the DNA test again. For more information about the restrictions of ICS
Netherlands we advise you to contact them directly.
