Carter Reservoir Mustang Registry

& Membership

A Carter Reservoir Mustang Herd Book

Carter Reservoir Mustangs Inc (CRMI) has taken the opportunity to do some very important research before setting our membership and registry in place. Because we were hoping to have a Herd Book/Registry built on foundation ancestry, the CRMI team felt it was very important to conduct DNA testing to see if there was indeed a Spanish connection. 

There were many hours spent reading, researching, comparing reports, and asking questions to be able to make an informed decision as to what type of testing would provide CRMI with credible results and to have an accredited laboratory to perform the testing. The results, as announced last month, concluded that all ten samples provided by CRMI fell into the D1 cluster or Spanish Iberian sequencing. This research has given Carter Reservoir Mustang Registry (CRMR) the foundation for a successful registry and allows us to offer the most comprehensive registry/herd book possible.     

You have the opportunity to become a CRMI member today as a way to show your support and help us attain our ambitious goals for the Carter Reservoir wild horse herd.
