      It is known that horses (Equus caballus) had an important role in many activities that influenced the development of various civilizations around the world. For many reasons, men set the selection of animals according to ability, skills and disposition desired, giving rise of specific groups of horses which have distinctive characteristics transmitted to offspring consistently, the breeds. It is estimated that there are currently about 300 breeds of horses [

      ]. Due to this ancient and close interaction between horses and humans, relevant forensically cases such as theft horses, identity fraud and, more recently, the sale of adulterated or counterfeited semen doses, and doping control are the most observed crimes. Therefore, it is recommended that forensic analysis techniques become more efficient as possible with increasingly improved accuracy.
