I sure hope you do a DNA color test on this filly to settle the question of what color she is.

Congratulations on your beautiful mare. I agree, definitely Tobiano and most likely some form of Sabino. As with any breeding animal, I would also test for Frame, just to be sure.

Congratulations. Very striking pattern.

Congratulations on your new mare. I agree with Lucky C on patterns. It will be easier to tell once she sheds her winter coat.

Definitely looks Palomino to me.

Information on the parents would be very helpful. From what is visible, the foal looks to be Palomino.

Well, share that answer with the rest of us. I'm certainly drawing a blank on it.

Oh Charlotte, surely you can show us a little more than that! Or maybe a name??? :arg!

Wow! My strategy finally paid off. Thanks.

57.

It is widely speculated that there are genes that restrict the amount of white in Pinto patterns. I think the fact that certain lines of horses have abnormally high numbers of minimally marked horses attest to that fact. However, that gene has not yet been identified. There are those who...

Congratulations Charlotte! I'm anxious to see the rest of him. I think he chose the coldest day of the year to make his appearance.

This statement brought a question to my mind. I wonder if there are any pure white horses (NOT Gray) that have brown eyes?

That is really interesting on Cloud Nine, homozygous for Tobiano and Splash. Really wiped the color off. Thanks for sharing.

I believe they have just been given enough rope to hang themselves.

Oh yes, I freely admit that Appaloosa genetics blow my mind. I try to focus on the things that pertain to me, and since I don't breed for Appaloosas, I leave that to those who specialize in it and are interested in it. I greatly admire those who can keep it straight.

It simply says it is new information and it is going to take a while to sort it out and comprehend it all. I felt the same way when I started studying color genetics, and there were fewer patterns to test for then.

OK, here is another connection, for what it is worth. My Bay mare, White Diamonds Angel Eyes, with only a roaned star and one blue eye, is also negative for both LWO and the Splashed White genes. She also goes back to Rowdy, but not through Redboy. Her maternal grandsire is NFC Rowdy Reigns...

Based on my personal experience, the only one of those results that is confusing to me is Toffee, with the blue eyes and negative for both Frame and Splash. Being a daughter of CC Call Me Sir (whom I am assuming is Frame) I would double check her Frame status. Mira's blue eyes apparently come...

Very pretty baby. Congratulations!
