Genetická analýza zbarvení u huculských koní zařazených do genetického zdroje
Karbusická, Alžběta
In this work, MC1R, ASIP and TBX3 gene were tested on a sample of 118 Hucul horse mares included in Genetic Resources of Animals in the Czech Republic. We want to determine the genetic structure of mares and to analyse phenotypic data compared to the genotype and to identify possible differences between it. Genetic analysis showed a solid state for all alleles (HW for ASIP P = 0.9360, for MC1R P = 0.1661 and for TBX3 P = 0.4444). The frequency of the allele was as follows: E (0.6780), A (0.5254), and (0.4746), d2 (0.4323), d1 (0.3542), e (0.3220) D (0.2135). The most common genotype was AaEed1d2 and AaEEd1d2. There were very few or no genotypes based on recessive homozygotes in the genes of basic coat colours in the population, we didn´t identify any individual with genotype AaEed1d1. We have publicised genotype dependence within the TBX3 gene with primitive markings, confirming the previous work of other. Alele D was always associated with the occurrence of primitive markings, but primitive markings occur even without allele D in coincidence with the d1 allele. The d2d2 genotype is associated with a phenotype without primitive markings, or with phenotype where we can´t say if the horse has primitive markings or not.

Vyhodnotenie exteriérových vlastností huculských koní vo vybraných chovoch v Európe =: Evaluation of exterior of selected herds of Hucul horses bred in Europe /
Oravcová, Ivana
The aim of the dissertation thesis was compared exterior of Hucul horses in terms of age, sex, sire line, place and country of measurement and tried to find out relative relations between these factors. The measurements were taken in 4 coutries in 12 places. At the beginning we targeted the breeding conditions and we analyzed stud material. Then we measured 14 body dimensions in every breeding. From these data the 7 hippometric indices were calculated and processed statistically using the statistical programme Unistat version 6.5. Most of the highly significant differences were differences between places and country of measurement. Hucul horses from Czech republic and Slovakia are higher, stronger and more compact but with weaker skeleton. Hucul horses from Hungary are also higher but shorter, less strong and less compact but with the strongest skeleton. Polish Hucul horses are the smallest but also longest with the most rebuilt body. However, they are rather bony. On the basis of the results of the analysis on the effect of sex we found out that mares are longer and stronger, with longer and wider pelvis and finer skeleton. Individuals from Oušor and Prislop lines are significantly higher, from Polan and Goral line smaller. Individuals from Goral line have shorter head, from Prislop line longer head. Individuals from Prislop line are, due to the highest high in wither, at least bony. The most bony is the Gurgul and Oušor line. Evaluation of the effect of age showed that the growing age does not affect the dimensions of the length and width of the pelvis, the length of the head, or the high in wither. With the rising age, the height in the saddle and croup decreases which leads to reduction of index of rebuildness. The dimensions of heart girth and depth of chest with the age from 7 to 18 years are gradually increasing.

Hucul - adept at hippotherapy
Dvořáková, Barbora ; Neumann, Cyril (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis studies the possibilities of use of the hucul horse for the purpose of hippotherapy. Based on researches published in various articles and literature, we try to evaluate the suitability of the hucul horse for a horse assisted treatement. In order to make an objective assessment of the convenience of use of the hucul horse in hippotherapy, we firstly focuss on the history of this versatile breed from its first mentions through current state of hippotherapy in the Czech Republic up to critera of choice of the suitable hippotherapeutical horse and confrontation of these criteria with the character of the hucul horse.
First, we describe the origins of the small mountain horse Hucul that emerged with the eponym ethnic group inhabiting the eastern Carpathians. Further we study qualities and characteristics that this breed adopted living in a fairly inhospitable mountain environment and that really makes these horses unique comparing to other breeds. Next we summarize the breed standards as described in the studbook. The chapter on the current state of farming hucul horse then covers its use in our country and in the world as well as discusses the Hucul International Federation, an international association concerned with hucul breeding in seven European countries. Particular attention is paid to the current situation in the Czech Republic.
In the chapter about hippotherapy we name the purposes for which this treatment method is to be used, for which patients is this method suitable or not and what are the possible treatments and which of them are used in the Czech Republic. Last but not least, we shortly describe the basic conditions for the exercise of hippotherapy and who may conduct it and the attention is also paid to the Czech hippotherapy chamber and its current status.
In the last part we mention the guidelines for selecting horses for hippotherapy and compare these standards and rules with the characteristics and qualities of the hucul horse described earlier. On the basis of this comparison we evaluate the suitability of the hucul horse for the use in hippotherapy.
