Analysis of the reproductive performance of Gayo horses and Thoroughbred derivatives breeds in the Gayo highlands is important to determine the strategy for developing Gayo horses in the future. The objective of this research was to compare the reproductive performance of Gayo and Thoroughbred horses in the Gayo Lues Regency. Survey research was applied in order to collect the primary data through direct interviews with horse owners based on questionnaires that have been prepared. A total of 49 horse owners were spread over four selected sub-districts (Blangkejeren, Blangjerango, Dabun Bracelet, and Kuta Panjang District) were involved as this research respondents.

Furthermore, the gestational period of Gayo horses was 347.53±14.96 days, while the gestational period of Thoroughbred horses was 318.95 ±9.47 days. The average post-partum estrus of Gayo horses was 14.84±0.54 days, while Thoroughbred horses were 12.24±0.39 days. Last, the foaling interval of Gayo horses was 16.50±0.74 months, while the foaling interval of Thoroughbred breeds was 15.50±0.71 months.
