The legendary cutting horse Royal Blue Boon, a registered American Quarter Horse, became the first mare to be commercially cloned when a foal was born to a recipient mare on Royal Vista Southwest farms in Purcell, Okla., on Feb. 19, 2006. The foal was born healthy and continues to thrive on the farm where she was born.

She was joined soon after by a clone of the mare Tap O Lena, born at the same farm on March 9, 2006. Including the foals announced today, several clones of famous horses will be born this year. Many other pregnant ViaGen/Encore mares are due next year. The companies have also gene banked over 75 champion horses from multiple breeds and disciplines

ViaGen and Encore Genetics, have partnered to preserve some of the greatest genetics in cutting horse history. Royal Blue Boon, the donor mare, is the all-time leading producer of cutting horses in the world with personal lifetime earnings of $381,764 and produce earnings of well over $2.5 million dollars. It is this unique value of the mare that identified this registered American Quarter Horse as a specimen worthy of preservation. At 26, the old mare is seeing the end of her long and prosperous career and her reproductive days are well behind her. With that fact in mind, the owner of Royal Blue Boon made the decision to clone her cutting horse champion.

“This animal has created a legacy in the cutting arena that is unmatched by any other mare, and I simply could not imagine not being able to continue to breed this fine animal and improve the genetics of future generations of cutting horses,” says Elaine Hall of Weatherford, Texas, the owner of Royal Blue Boon and Royal Blue Boon Too.
