Pet cloning has become big business in the US , with Barbra Streisand and Paris Hilton among early adopters.

Cloning animals is banned in the UK , except for research purposes.

Cloned pets can be brought back to the UK under the same regulations that apply to pets conceived in the traditional way.

Clones can even look different: markings, for example, can vary from those of the original’ Murka’s Gem, a clone from ViaGen , produced before Gemini Genetics was established.

Not everyone in the horse world is enthusiastic about the rise of clones, with some seeing it as counter to the idea that breeding is about moving equine genetics forwards.

“If the intention is to try to replace a lost loved pet, whether cat, dog, horse or whatever, then cloning is very unwise. Why not find a different animal that deserves your love?”.
