I own 4 domain names, horsecloning.com, horsecloner.com, horsecloners.com and horseclone.com. I started horsecloning.com and was affiliated with the 2 University of Idaho professors who cloned the first equines, mules. About 4 months into the business I discovered that the professors infringed on the “Dolly the Sheep” patents. Since then, these patents have been invalidated by the US patent court. I’m trying to sell these domain names for a fair price and I’ll throw in dogclone.com too. When the business ended, I think I was close to cloning Cigar, a very fast horse that won 19 races in a row. I think the Jockey Club, facing a circuit with 100 Cigars, would have had to change its rules because such races would be much faster and more interesting than watching the average horse race. Also the Jockey Club’s so called betterment of the breed is a lot of bull because why are owners allowed to race geldings? Anyone interested can call me at 415 346-9217

Cloning is here to stay if you like it or not. I do not think it is wrong. It is technology. Registries will need to handle the situation as their members see fit. Bottom line…its all about the MONEY.
Cloned double-muscle cattle for more choice cuts of beef, GMO plants/foods/etc, bigger/better corn…you name it. Higher yields = more money. Big name horses = more money. Sad but true. Would you turn down a cloned HEART from your own DNA if you were dying of heart disease? Would you clone up EYES if you were going blind? The scope of this technology is mind-boggling.

its a hard subject. like a farm could have dozens of clones of their best racehorse and that almost isn’t fair. But clones are still a horse. i won’t refer to them as clones because they’re as alive and real as the other horse.

I don’t agree with cloning and it was wrong to get the courts involoved in trying to change the rules with the AQHA the horses were not bred the were cloned if they want to register the clones should have on organization to do so the association should decide what to allow to be registered as it has been since its development

I think they should allow cloned horses in the registry. They are just as much pure breds as the original.

This isn’t right. The horse cloned will have bad health and die at an early age. Cloning is not something we should do.

I don’t think you should be able to register a cloned horse, in fact I don’t think you should be able to clone a horse! People are trying to play God and that will always end badly! It is unnatural and quite selfish on humans part.
