Yes . In the Arabian world, for example, there are lines that have really great cow handling abilities, and of course, there are good race horses...

I know of no horse associations where titles are inherited from the parents.

I show APHA and its 100% the stallions offspring that have to show to earn points or awards for that said foal . However if the foal is registered and eligible to show futurity and show the appointed apha shows then that sires foals that compete and win help that sire on a ranking competing with other stallions and they do earn some things from there offspring winning. I do not know what or how much they win on the stallion rankings without asking the stallion owner. I tried to provide a link but apha i have to be logged in to see stallion standings .
Note stallions dont have to compete to be on the stallion rankings. Its purely by what its offspring does in the show pen.

It accounts for how many foals the stallion has and which dicipline those offspring win in and its tallied up by that stallions offsprings winnings. Like my mares sire never made it to show outside of lungeline as a yearling due to an injury so he didnt have much to prove himself till he had foals in the show pen winning in multiple diciplines. Each year he made top 3 on the ranking list.
Although he didnt get the chance to prove himself other than longe line he sure does pass on some really nice qualities to his offspring. We have 4 show horses in my trainers barn by this stud . 1 incliding mine.

But no horse inherits merits from there parents that i am aware of.

No titles or merits are passed to foals in the Morgan breed. There is a Broodmare Hall of Fame, which includes mares that have produced 3 or more World Champion titled offspring. They earn BHOF after their name in the database. Stallions are also more notable for the World Champions they produce.
