Yes, since certain characteristics are desired it would make sense to breed horses that have those characteristics together to increase the chances that the foal would also have them. In addition, knowing bloodlines can help to eliminate or avoid certain genetic problems. In QH's for instance there are several genetic issues and we know the horses in which they first occured as a mutation of normal genes. If we see those horses in the bloodlines then we know to test for those mutations and if they are there we can then make a decision on how best to proceed if we want to breed....obviously breeding to another with the same issue would not be a good idea so knowing the bloodlines can avoid problems with or even deaths of foals
