Etalon Diagnostics researchers have successfully determined a strong genetic component to Kissing Spines thanks to the success of our recent Kissing Spines study. Since so many sport horses include Thoroughbred ancestry, we feel an expanded study with a focus on Thoroughbreds is necessary. To do this well, we need to include older horses (9 years and up) with radiographs and diagnostics both horses with and without Kissing Spines (if you do a prepurchase with films and your horse is negative, please send it in)! Etalon has teamed up with the Retired Racehorse Project and New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program to spread the word - and we need your help!
