Short summary
This study examined genetic changes in body measurements at birth in Turkish Arabian foals born between 1987 and 2007. Significant factors influencing body size traits were identified. Additive genetic and maternal heritabilities varied, highlighting their impacts on foal traits. Results suggest the potential for selective breeding to enhance these traits over time, aiding future breeding strategies in Turkish Arabian horses.
