Principal components analysis of ~54 K SNPs for the Andean feral herd and Iberian and European breeds. A. Shows Andean horses and Iberian-origin breeds in the Americas cluster with the Andeans close to Paso finos and the US Mangalarga Marchador (USMM). The Colonial Spanish horses (CSH) and Spanish Barbs (SBBA) on the right on PC2 show a tight relationship, possibly related to the fact that several are known to be either from or descents of the Wilber-Cruce herd. B. The Andean population forms a tight cluster defined by PC3. Other breeds shown include Mustang (US Spanish Mustang Registry and the American Heritage Horse), Galacino (GHBA), Quarter horse (QH); American Paint Horse; Missouri Fox Trotter (MFT), Lipizzaner (LPZ), Sorraia (some cross listed with Horse of the Americas and the American Sorraia Horse Association), and Paso finos both of the North American Peruvian Horse (NAPHA) variety and from the Paso fino horse association.
