I have a filly that was born looking like a palomino pinto with pink skin and two blue eyes. When we clipped her all the color is gone and she appears to be white. Her sire is our buckskin pinto Lucky Four triple Tuff LWO negative and her dam is a solid buckskin. We have another two year filly from Tuffy and a buckskin pinto mare that did the same thing, she was born a medicine hat pinto but all the color is gone except for some pale orange brownish in her mane and tail, we registered her as a perlino pinto but I am at a loss at what to register this filly. I believe they are both genetically pinto even though they now appear to be white. I don't even know what to test them for. Wetting them does not show any color in the skin, they still look white. Sorry I don't know how to post pics but they can both be seen on the foal page of my website , this years filly with her dam , not the best but you can see the pinto color, the other is under 2006 foals and you her forelock and ears look like the have color but now her ears are even white and the color is just in the forelock and tail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I hate to register horses the wrong color.
