Is it true the do a DNA test in order to prove pedigree when issueing Jockey Club papers?
If yes, is there a way to fake the test? By this I mean, a vet that might pull another horses DNA and send it in for another?
The reason I am asking is, I have a gelding who is tattoo and papered, but has several traits of draft horses. He is not just overly and unusually large (including his draft sized and shaped feet) he also grows full feathers and he has an autoimmune disease that is only prevalent in draft horses. Can any think of an explanation for this? I should mention that everyone, including the vet, thought he was a warmblood or a TB/draft cross the first time they see him. The autoimmune disease is really throwing us for a loop.
