The aim of the study was to analyze the quality of the pedigree, generation interval, gene origin, and inbreeding. The pedigree information was received from the Hungarian Coldblood Horse Breeding Association. The studbook data of the registered animals up to 2023 were evaluated. Two reference populations were chosen: horses having offspring in 1989 and 2023. The final database contained 21,699 horses. Pedigree data of the total population and the actual breeding stock were analyzed using Endog 4.8. and Grain 2.2. software. The complete generation equivalent was 4.64 and 7.72, whereas the average maximum generations was 7.90 and 13.06 for the total and reference population, respectively. There were significant differences between the parent\u2013offspring pathways of generation intervals. In the total stock, the first 10 individuals are present in 26.71%, while in the actual breeding stock, they are present in 37.84%. The average Wright\u2019s inbreeding coefficient was 1.13% and 2.35% in the total population and the actual breeding stock. Kalinowski\u2019s new decomposition of inbreeding showed that inbreeding does not originate from the past; inbreeding is stronger in more recent generations. There was a reasonable bottleneck effect. A more careful mating design might be needed to avoid inbreeding in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15101406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,13]],"date-time":"2025-05-13T09:26:48Z","timestamp":1747128408000},"page":"1406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Analysis of Population Structure in Hungarian Coldblood Horses Based on Pedigree Information"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Brigitta","family":"Barsi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Husbandry, Institute of Animal Science, Biotechnology and Nature Conservation, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management, University of Debrecen, H-4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Animal Science, University of Debrecen, H-4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00e1nos","family":"Ol\u00e1h","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farm and Regional Research Institute of Debrecen, University of Debrecen, H-4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7208-1896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00e1nos","family":"Posta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Husbandry, Institute of Animal Science, Biotechnology and Nature Conservation, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management, University of Debrecen, H-4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bod\u00f3, I., and Hacker, W.
