ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO – October 14, 2025

The October 2025 issue of Equine Business Magazine published an article on EquiSeq, describing its DNA test as changing the landscape in managing horse health. Madison Ruddy Sanders, founder of Elete Equine Marketplace and a member of EquiSeq’s Board of Directors, wrote the article, based on conversations with Paul Szauter, EquiSeq’s Chief Scientific Officer; Stephanie Carter, an equine nutritionist; and horse owners Wendee Walker and Charlene Shingleton.

EquiSeq’s patented DNA tests identify horses at risk for a muscle disease before they develop symptoms. Unlike muscle biopsy, EquiSeq’s DNA test is noninvasive, only requiring a hair sample.

The article is one of the outcomes of EquiSeq’s recent outreach to horse owners. Madison Sanders and Paul Szauter have interviewed horse owners via Zoom, offering the opportunity for horse owners to write guest blog posts for EquiSeq’s website. They are currently planning public webinars to address horse muscle disease.
