SERVICES: THT EthoGrade

Does your horse have the capacity to be a successful athlete?

Surely you've assessed the horse's physical condition.

But looking beyond a strictly physical conformation, THT employs EthoGrade as a scale to evaluate the emotional conformation and psychological profile of your horse.

EthoGrade is used to determine your horse's mental capacity as a competitive athlete, and for the development of specifically-designed training protocols.

The EthoGrade services we offer include...

EthoGrade Quick Start is a very insightful, though abbreviated use of the EthoGrade scale. Quick Start is used specifically as an initial behavior/potential analysis. Designed for pre-purchase yearling assessments, Quick Start is the affective tool we use to evaluate the emotional conformation of those horses on your short list, helping you streamline your purchase prospects by offering supplemental information. Because of the abbreviated time frame Quick Start is handy even on sale day. For your short list or as your "talent scout", EthoGrade Quick Start can help you get the edge over the competition.

EthoGrade Plus gives the breeding industry, no matter the part you play, the ability to add the behavioral characteristics into the equation by virtue of THT's Double P method: Pedigree & Personality. Comparing a selected mare with a selected sire's emotional conformation is every bit as important to the potential abilities of the get as the potential physical conformation. Whether you are seeking to match your mare or have your stallion graded with a report for potential clients, EthoGrade Plus is the future of more responsible breeding protocols. Atavistic physical traits always emerge independent of one another in the hybrid equine. Behavioral characteristics however are blended, passed on and have a serious impact on the way the Acquired Instincts will develop in the get, determining factors such as mental agility, trainable capacity and overall emotional conformation. Breeding the finest blood lines is only as good as the pilot in charge. Only natural characteristics are transmittable; not those acquired by artificial persuasion. THT's Double P, EthoGrade Plus system is the next level of breeding.
