Use of performance testing results in warmblood horse breeding
VOKROUHLÍKOVÁ, Jana
Objective of the work was to analyze the results of performance testing and their usage in warmblood horses breeding. The active Czech warmblood stallions registered in The Czech warmblood breeders association on the list of stallions in 2012, were summarized into the overview. The results of mare performance tests (daughters of sires) and the results of offspring in jumping competitions were used for the analysis of the stallions. Stallions were divided according to available offspring data into three groups. The first group contains stallions who still can not have offspring in sport (young stallions), in the second group are stallions with no available record about the offsrping. The stallions in the third group have daughters passed the performance tests and offspring in sports, therefore we have analyzed this third group in detail. Stallions were ranked by the number of offspring and by the performance results of their offspring. Based on average results of the mare performance tests and the average number of points in jumping competitions were selected the top stallions, who also had to meet a criterion of the number of offspring (min. 10 mares on performance tests and min. 6 offspring in sport). Own performance and the performance of the progeny of these top ten stallions was compared with other equally or even more frequent stallions. Based on the results of mare performance tests and sports performance of the offspring were best assessed stallions: Comero, Phill, Le Patron, Radegast, Sargoni, Manillon Rouge, Amarillo, Dantes, Rock´n Roll and Calanthano. These all stallions met the criterion of the number of offspring. The breeder selection of the stallion doesn´t follow performance results and the number of offspring doesn´t copy the quality of the stallion, it means, that the selection of the stallion for each mare is based on other circumnstances. It means that the results of performance testing were not used in Czech warmblood breeding.

Testing the performance of warm-blooded horses
VOKROUHLÍKOVÁ, Jana
The work deals with the evaluation of performance testing of warm-blooded horses. Testing the performance takes place at several levels, what is also documented in detail in the text. There are described the various methods of performance testing as the means of testing the performance warmblood horses in the Czech Republic. These methods include pre-selection of stallions for breeding, performance testing of stallions and mares, breeders competitions for young horses and the Czech Championship of young horses, sports testing, and progeny testing. This work examines the system of performance tests and compares it with systems of organizing mare performance tests in other European countries. Finally, all the above mentioned methods are evaluated and discussed.
