DNA testing grade horses?

I have an old appaloosa gelding who I would just love to know his blood line. He was reg. at some point but his papers where lost {about 15 years ago} and I wanted to know if through DNA testing I could find out his blood line. Dose anyone know?

Update:

No I don't know his reg. name. When I got him he was a being used as a lession horse adn they didn't really know or care about his blood lines.

    Most vet clinics can do it by DNA but you could also contact the appaloosa association and they would be able to give you more information on finding out your horses pedigree.

    that's generally a magnificent question. and that i ought to assert, i think you bypass over examine Cowboy. I did not take his respond such as you probably did, i don't think he was calling you a do gooder. i should be wrong in spite of the undeniable fact that it certainly did not look that way. Now directly to the question handy. you're turning out to be marvelous suggestions in spite of the undeniable fact that it is going to by utilising no ability take place. it could take technique to many people and to plenty money, the breed institutions won't positioned that form of manpower or money accessible contained available. I believe Larie, i offered my mare to reproduce on condition that of her conformation and her breeding, if I so decide for upon to reproduce her for a colt for me then that must be my suited. in spite of the undeniable fact that, with concerns like they're, i can not breed her. i will only pass purchase what i could like. If greater people could evaluate approximately what is going into keeping a mare on an identical time as she is preg. and then now not being in a position to journey your newborn untill this is 2, this is an notably long term and diverse money to pass into in spite of. education is what is going to replace issues. As I say that, there's a good by the line from us that has between the main unhappy finding horses with babies by utilising utilising their factors. those mares are only uncomplicated unsightly. No conformation, cow hocked, ewe necked, sway backed. only now not fantastically. Why could anybody breed that?? Do they only now not observe of? i don't want the respond yet i in my opinion think education is the 1st-fee.

    If you know his registered name you can look up his pedigree but only if you know his registered name or the registered name of both sire and dam.
