Two Clones of Dressage Stallion 'Jazz' Born in USA

Two healthy chestnut colts, clones of top Dutch dressage stallion Jazz, have been born in the United States.

Eric Palmer, ceo of Cryozootech, reported that the chestnut colts are now two months old. The foals will both move to Broere Stud, home of 21 year old Jazz, in coming months.

Jazz is the sire of many successful dressage horses, including Adelinde Cornelissen’s, Parzival, and stallion, Jive Magic, here in Australia - just to name a couple.

 

On 18 June the FEI announced that clones would be allowed in sport. In their press release, the FEI said that "the latest research on the issue of equine cloning was presented and debated at the FEI Sports Forum. The FEI Bureau accepted that the position of the FEI on equine clones and their progeny should be changed to “The FEI will not forbid participation of clones or their progenies in FEI competitions. The FEI will continue to monitor further research, especially with regard to equine welfare.”
