They were conceived in a lab to reshape a sport. Are cloned horses good to Polo?

- Polo is called the “sport of kings” and Argentina's players are considered royalty ranking among the world´s best. The same goes for their horses with a new strategy. Argentine cloned horses are designed to win.
Joel Richards has the story on how science changed the nature of the sport forever.

I was at Colorado State and was in the training class when Question and Answer,the first two cloned horses,were in training as two year olds.
Clearly bad in the long term for polo. Hinders evolution of the horse and the sport. Also creates a monopoly over the sport.
Unfair advantage. Part of polo is the riding different horses. We may as well play on robotic horses
Takes out the love we have for each individual horse that has different characteristics.
I play polo for partly the love of the horse. Not for the love of a clone.
There is a very dark side to cloning
I think there maybe human clones already, because, some of people walking on this planet seem inhuman😬
Yeah have my clone
FANTASTIC! GOOD LUCK!
Now let's talk about cloning of humans and ethics. Very scary indeed.
should be illegal. my opinion.
If 2 identical clones, (horses) have a race, will the result be a tie? Will they both have the same personality traits? Same tempermant?
Personality & temperament is influenced by the foal's environment from the start so they could vary depending on their early life
Usually yes. they try to upbring the horses in the exact same environment every time to reproduce the same temperament. They still come out slightly different but they are all pretty much similar
@@Megadeth6633 Really, have you been around cloned horses? I would not expect them to be that similar in temperament/behaviour....for instance, identical twins are similar but not that similar.
@@myronschabe I understand but animals are a little different, their consciousness doesn't go as deep, it leaves a lot of room for survival/instinctive traits to also participate in decision making, and those things come pretty clean in a clone. As I said they have to raise the horse in the exact same environment with the exact same people if possible, and with the same training and absence of any trauma that could alter their personality and performance. They still have some differences but where it counts on the field they are EXTREMELY similar, to the point where cloning is a must for teams to maintain consistency.
As for being around them, I guess I have but the information I get is from knowing some good friends in the polo business.
I think the horses enjoy having their little weekend missions. Besides they don't even play the whole match, they actually only play a whopping 4 minutes lol. Then the riders change horse. They really care after them, they don't exploit every drop out of them.
@@Megadeth6633 Very interesting...if what you are saying is the consistently observed case I can more understand why folks are against it, I mean the gene pool would eventuallly go down to nill, and is more like you are engineering robots in a certain way, not to mention the expense so again, the wealthy would already have an advante ( though certainly is already the case)...in sport/racing horses the gene pool already gets too narrow.
Anyway, thx for the explaination...very interesting indeed.
