Genetic replica of High Brow Cat; NCHA’s leading sire, all ages, all divisions, with offspring earnings in excess of $76 million across 5 disciplines, sire of 8 NCHA Futurity champions and 21 AQHA World Champions. Katrin Hinrichs, Professor and Patsy Link Chair in Mare Reproductive Studies at Texas A&M, cloned Copy Cat from genetic material harvested from High Brow Cat to create an exact reproductive replica. Copy Cat, foaled in 2013, has been labeled by scientists as being the “purest of equine clones” due to the unique process of his cloning.  An oocyte harvested from a maternal relative of High Brow Cat’s dam, Smart Little Kitty, is what sets the process apart from other cloned horses and raises such genetic integrity to a higher level.

Currently the AQHA does not register clones. Registration is available through the American DNA Registry which shows proof of ownership and ownership history, as well as age and genetic verification. The NCHA does not require horses to be registered to compete.
