Data comes from [FEI.org](http://FEI.org) and [https://horsetelex.com/](https://horsetelex.com/) FEI is the International Equestrian Federation and Horsetelex is a database of family trees of horses.
Tools used: Excel, because I was in a hurry and I’m a basic bitch
I used a cutoff weighted score of anything below 5, as there were 60 horses in the competition and I looked at the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. So there were a lot of horses with weight 1 etc. I wanted to look at the more popular horses when it comes to breeding, so I’m not showing every horse
**Why only stallions?**
That’s because of the importance put on the stallions when breeding horses. Mostly because it’s far easier to transport frozen sperm than a whole mare across the world.
**Weight**
Weight was depending on where the horse was in the family tree. F1 (parents) got weight 4, F2 (grandparents) got weight 2, F3 (great-grandparents) got weight 1. This is based on the idea of how much DNA of the horse is statistically in that of the horse at the Olympics.
Can you please do the show jumping horses u/nightowlanna!!!
I was lucky enough to have a free lease on a semi-retired schoolmaster with Donnerhall on his sire’s side. Even though he only got ridden 3x/week and couldn’t do high level stuff due to a DDFT injury, he taught me to love dressage.
