I'm trying to identify the patterns of my pintos as I like to be more exact then just putting down "pinto" on my records.
I think I'm getting the hang of it but wanted to run it through those who have a better grasp of the patterns.
Firstly the ones I'm very sure of,
Bay mare, one white sock, one large off centered white face marking and two very obvious blue eyes.
Listed as a splash in her pedigree and I'd agree. Sound right?
Black stallion, large with leg markings, small belly splash and a white trickle down a small portion of his mane and down his shoulder. White roaning on his face and over his back that is very clear in summer but not that visible in his winter coat.
Tobiano with Sabino?
Now for the less sure ones.
Pintaloosa bred, 3 white socks and one white stocking with striped hooves and black dots at the base of the white leg markings. White mark on shoulder and another smaller one on his rump. Lots of white roaning around the rump marking and what appears to be very minor roaning on other parts of his coat. Could be sabino but could be the start of appie varnishing. Thoughts?
Tobiano and Overo breeding in her pedigree, solid markings but white flecking on her face. One blue eye.
Thoughts?
No blue eyes, no roaning. Very much what you see is what you get with this girl.
Thoughts?
If anyone wants to offer their opinion it would be great, if anyone has the time to help explain why they are what pattern they are that would be fantastic
Thanks for your time.
