Sažetak
Submitted work is focused to appraisal and breed characteristics of gene reserves of horses in the Slovak Republic. From available data number of animals of the breeds, bred in the Slovak Republic as well as their comparison to neighbouring European countries were found out. Based on the categorisation of risk populations according to number and structure of breeds is possible to measure the level of their endangering. In complicated situation of past few years the Slovak Republic almost lost historically important breeds Furioso and Nonius, which were connected to our history as a part of cultural heritage. According to breeding documentation 8 endangered breeds are bred in the Slovak Republic, for which it non-recurring financial subsidies are available (namely Lipizzaner, Shagya Arabian, Slovak Warm Blooded horse, Furioso, Nonius, Slovak Sport Pony, Hucul and Muráň Plain type of Norik breed). Critically endangered breeds, which number is less than 100 breeding mares and maximum of 5 breeding stallions could be designed as extreme case of population loss risk (Nonius and Lipizzaner breeds). On behalf of rare gene pool protection it is important to use all the possibilities to increase the population number.
