So at BRIDGEquine .com we have been working hard on the IMM results - People have speculated that Peppy San Badger was positive - I don't like working on speculation and at BRIDGE the goals are to collect enough data to be able to be reasonably sure where testing is not available. After entering a lot of Peppy San Badger's offspring it would seem very likely he was n/MYHM (Of course one cannot say with 100% certainly unless he was tested).

This is a NEW SITE that has been running for a couple of months! It looks exaclty like the one (except it has a 2023 in the address bar so you know you are on the new site.) but it has brand new software!
If you have an older account and you have trouble logging in please contact me so I can get you going.
The reports seem to be working now but if you have any trouble please contact me at the above email address.
If you see anything that is not working, or links are wrong, or info is wrong, please contact me ASAP. This upgrade was HUGE deal and I want to get the site working as perfectly as possible but I need your help if you have a problem.
This site is best used on a computer - it is working on cel phones but it is impossible to keep up with all the different phones and operating systems to make sure it is glitch free, however we are trying to make it as phone friendly as we can - if you are having issues on your phone accessing any part of the site please contact us.
THANK YOU!!!

This site is intended to be a helpful tool but MUST IN NO WAY BE USED to make financial decisions.
We assume NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER for any financial loss or emotional loss resulting from decisions based on using information from our website.
We are hoping to provide you with information to make educated guesses but we always recommend TEST, TEST, and TEST.
If you have a disease positive horse on our site that you do not wish to have in our database please inform us. We will remove your horses info from the public database. All horses over 20 automatically have their info entered in the Online database - you must contact us after your horses 20th birthday to have it permanently removed. If your horse changes ownership it will be up to the new owner to decide if they want it in the online database.
Our intention is only to get as much information as possible to accurately depict lines of disease positive horses and NEVER to try to hurt someone financially.
Although we have done our best to make this site as accurate as possible it is possible that there are errors. We ask for your help by having you contact us if you find an error, so we can correct it.

This is the home base for The BRIDGEquine Association.
It is a grassroots organization which bands horse owners together for the common cause of educating and providing people with information about the genetics of horses which affect their everyday decisions with purchasing, breeding and owning horses. All breeds are welcome to register. We are developing a database which records genetic information such as color and inheritable disease - both positive and negative horses can be registered and should be registered to fully develop the database.
The site features the following:
A Members Searchable Database - This is the unique feature for BRIDGE. We ask for your patience as we grow the database to help people get a better idea which bloodlines are continually repeating the genetic diseases and which horses have the DNA color genetics to produce the colors they want to see.
Educational Articles written in Layman's terms for Genetic Diseases and also Color Genetics.
A Place to see how genetic diseases affect horses and their owners.
Incentives to encourage the testing of older surviving horses before they pass on to help provide answers to genetic disease questions.
And we are wide open to suggestions for other ideas to help encourage people to test their horses and to make informed and responsible buying and breeding decisions.

Ropewalk - When a horse places its feet one behind the other when it walks - simulating a tight rope walker.
Tying Up - This is when the horses muscles contract and do not relax. The horse will appear to be nailed to the floor in the back end while seemingly being able to move the front end without any problems. They will appear to be in significant pain.
Dominant - Referrring to DNA this means that a horse only needs one copy of a gene to be afflicted by the illness.
Recessive - Referring to DNA this means the horse needs to copies of the gene in order to be afflicted by the illness - horses with one gene are referred to as carriers.
