Bringing epigenetics to equine health<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A horse\u2019s DNA
is more than a genetic code.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

It is a living record of stress, training, nutrition, environment, and care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

We decode it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

We deliver advanced epigenetic health data to owners, breeders, and trainers, enabling smarter decisions that improve both performance and welfare.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The challenge of horse management<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Keeping horses healthy and performing at their best requires constant decisions:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Purchase.
Housing.
Nutrition.
Training intensity.
Treatment.
Recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Too often, these decisions rely on experience, intuition, and guesswork.<\/p>\n

What if we could base them on measurable biology?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Epigenetics: the biology of lifestyle<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Beyond DNA lies a dynamic layer of biological information: epigenetics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Every experience leaves a biological mark.<\/p>\n

Training load. Stress. Nutrition. Illness. Management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Genetics tells you which genes a horse has.<\/p>\n

Epigenetics reveals which genes are active, and how lifestyle shapes biology over time.<\/p>\n

In both human and animal research, biological (epigenetic) age is a stronger predictor of health and functional decline than chronological age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Unlike our genes, performance and wellbeing are not fixed.<\/p>\n

They are dynamic, measurable and controllable \u2013 through epigenetics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What we measure<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

We bring the science of epigenetic health, prediction, personalization and longevity from humans to horses.<\/p>\n

Using thousands of quantitative epigenetic markers, we provide insight into:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
