Abstract
The present invention provides methods for predicting the pattern of locomotion in a horse including the ability of a horse to use different gaits and the ability to trot at a fast speed. The methods comprise determining in a sample of DNA obtained from a horse the presence or absence of at least one genetic marker, wherein said at least one genetic marker is located on horse chromosome 23, said marker being associated with the ability to use different gaits. The invention further provides primers that amplify markers being associated with the ability to use different gaits and hybridization probes to detect markers being associated with the ability to use different gaits and the ability to trot at a fast speed.
