Gem Twist Reborn

The latest cloning news comes from the European cloning firm Cryozootech, who have today announced the birth of a clone of the three-time “American Grand Prix Association Horse of the Year”, legendary American Thoroughbred gelding showjumper “Gem Twist”.

Gem Twist – owned and bred by Frank and Mary Chapot – was much loved by followers of the sport of showjumping for an entire generation, winning two Silver Medals at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games under Greg Best, as well as Team Silver at the Pan-American Games, and numerous other Grand Prix. In 1990 he was named the “World’s Best Horse” at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm.

The only real “downside” To Gem Twist was that he was a gelding – and therefore unable to pass on his excellent genetic material to please future generation of showjumping fans – but now, with this clone, he can!
