A view on the pedigree of the most winning trotters in the world
On the basis of our article about the most winning trotters in each and every country where trotting races are held (here), we want to analyze the inbreeding factor of the first 3 horses in each country to have some representative conclusion (we will update the list after new years eve 2014). If there is an inbreeding in the first 3 generations, we will mark it with YES, if not with NO. We will also quote the nearest inbreeding in the pedigrees.

* Inbreeding in only one single parent
Conclusion: We are talking about 13 countries and 39 horses. 16 of them are inbred in the first 3 generations (less surprisingly all of them in Northern America, the land of inbreeding…), 23 are not. 6 absolute most winning trotters of the 13 countries are inbred in the first 3 generations, so nearly 50%. Among them the most winning trotter ever, the Italian Varenne, also the most winning trotters of Austria, Finland, Northern America, Serbia and Sweden. Maybe a little bit surprising, that the most winning French horses are more or less intensely inbred.
Fact is, that ALL horses, with the exception of only 2 (1 from Australia, 1 from Slovenia), are inbred respectively linebred starting from the 4th generation! That really might be an indicator for breeding success.
