Have you ever had a horse suddenly get SPOTS?

Pintaloosa's can produce wildly different looking foals. We have three half sisters, one is bay roan (no appy/pinto), one is bay pinto (no appy), the third is a silver bay pintaloosa. We had a half brother too that was a bay pintaloosa.

As for appy spotting, it's common for some to 'appy' more as they mature. We've had solid foals turn appy at 3-5 years. Why I gave up on appy breeding, leave it to the pros!

Jaitera - I think mine does carry the Taffy/Silver Gene, I've just never tested him..

Those spot on your little guy sure looks like Birdcatcher Spots, I'm no expert, but I have seen them several times on Large horses, mainly in the TB breed, this is the first one I have seen in a miniature, but I'm sure they're out there.

Looking at the underside and muzzle in the last photo's of your boy, he looks like he may carry the Pangare/Mealy Gene as well.

He will be so nice looking as he keeps adding his spots.

I have a pintolossa and she was a black and white pinto now she has white roaning and white spots in the black and

black spots on her white.

I was like you wondering what was happening to her and every spring .

I agree

I'm pretty sure he does

His muzzle and belly are tan and his black points aren't JET black.

I know what you mean! Our black varnish roam paint mare was just plain black with some white hairs as a foal, but now (she's 3) shes TOTALLY white except on hr face and leg bones

It was insane! She doesn't even look like the same horse lol,even her skin went from black to pink haha! The appys are so random.
