We should all know by now that Rowdy was a frame overo (LWO+) which he passed on to many of his offspring, some of which were wildly colored, but many of which appear solid. But I wonder if he also hid some other pinto patterns?? Like splash? And maybe even tobiano?
I ask this because we have a lot of Rowdy blood in our herd of pinto minis and I have checked their pedigrees to see where the pinto color might have some from. Many of them dead end at solid color horses (including Rowdy). Only one (Mira) is just frame, which came from Rowdy through Cross Country Call Me Awesome. Our gelding (Cowboy), who looks tobiano and maybe frame is 3/8 Rowdy, and he appears to have gotten his color from Rowdy. Other than Cowboy's sire (who was a World Champion in multicolor), there is only one other pinto in his pedigree and that is 5 generations back. Our stallion Buckshot (LWO-) has Rowdy blood through Ramblin Starbuck. Both Buckshot and Starbuck have similar white on their faces, (strip & snip) which might indicate splash??? Buckshot's pinto color likely comes from his pinto dam, who had 2 solid parents (one being BOB, a solid black Buckeroo son).
Could Rowdy have been hiding more than one pinto pattern???
