Principal components (PC) of the genetic relationship matrix for 116 WB and 36 CP. The three lower diagonal plots show principal components analysis (PCA) biplots, with colour designating the breed subtype and marker designating the sample origin: B principal component (PC) 1 by PC 2; D PC 1 by PC 3; and E PC 2 by PC 3. Diagonal plots are kernel density estimator plots illustrating the distributions of the principal components: A of PC 1; C of PC 2; and F of PC 3. The first three PCs explained 4.1%, 1.8% and 1.6% of variance respectively. CP Connemara pony, WB Warmblood horse, UK United Kingdom, EU rest of Europe, US United States, X unregistered
