Anybody here? Equivalents Report Question

Postby vineyridge » Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:33 pm

Say one were evaluating a stallion's pedigree and looking for certain traits that could be inherited from ancestors. How would one use the Equivalents report in this context? PQ Help desk says that the equivalents hypo-mating foal shown would have the same blood in the percentage shown as the target horse.

But how does one interpret a whole list of equivalents, some of whose horses are known to have passed on the desired trait, and some are known not to have passed it on?

And what about an equivalent that has a cross with 100% equivalence?

I could use some help with this.
