The test will be visible each time the horse goes to the stud farm or market (no need to repurchase it each time) and it will also remain if it is sold to another VIP player. If the horse is sold to a non VIP player, the DNA test will be removed.
    When this horse is put into the horse market or stud farm, it will show that this horse has been DNA tested (displayed as an icon) and other players will be able to click to view the horse’s stats.
    The horse’s stats will also be visible to player’s friends, when visiting their stables.
