My new mare, Corky's Jez Lady, has a very distinctive blaze. I'm pretty sure she's sabino... she had a foal with blue eyes crossed with a solid sire, and her socks are pretty high. As she was rolling I discovered a white spot on her belly and when I clipped I found a TON of sabino roaning. The pinto genetics are still a touch foreign to me but I am trying to get a handle on them. After I understand pinto I will tackle the appy genetic terms

Since I breed for Overo/Tovero patterns.....I do get lots of bald faces, or wildly marked faces.

Lacy has the most unusually marked face of all mine tho.

Here she is as a weanling, showing her "eyebrow" marking above her left eye.

This filly has an off set star

Love seeing everyone's white face markings.

I have a few with white on their face.

My mini mare Mercedes

My mini mare Angel - not too happy to have her grazing interupted!

And my shetland pony Bentley

But I wonder how many of these mostly blazed- faced horses have been tested for LWO? Something to consider if you haven't already. Three of our minis have blazes - all three have Rowdy blood - and I know one is LWO+ and would bet the other 2 are. They have not been tested because one is a gelding and we don't plan to breed the mare. Our stallion, who also has Rowdy blood, has a small star/strip/snip and is LWO-.

Our stallion Sky was tested for LWO and came back negative.. We have not tested the mares yet, but many of my paint breeding friends think that our black pinto mare may possibly be carrying the frame gene, because of her unique blaze and blue eyes.. I plan on testing her this summer for fun and curiousity sake

This is so much fun to see all the neat face markings - this is one of my favorite ones - our 2006 filly "QtrRaes Mystic A Unique Treasure" - we call her "Neeka" - besides her lovely face she also has just 1 very bright blue eye - it certainly gives her character and she is also a real sweetheart.

She may very well have some Sabino roaning.....BUT, blue eyes only come from either Splash or Frame.

She could very well be carrying both!

Here is one of my new Shetland geldings. I call him George

He is a Rock "E" "Heads Up" son. I just love his head and his facial marking. His right eye is a watch eye, to cool.

Alright I'll share one! This is one of our 06' foals Pleasant Views Flashin' Miss "Zoey"totaly wasn't expecting this color out of 2 solids

well her sire is white with partial blue eyes and her mother has a snip.

She is registered as a partial bald face. She also has 2 crystal blue eyes

We have several horses with blazes/crooked blazes or strange medicine caps, but my favorite "weird" face markings are on Savanah and Rose:

I have a chestnut mare named Desert Golds Crescent Moon that has a crescent moon, a strip, and a snip.

Here she is posing with her 08 filly, Amira who also has a star, and a bit of a snip.

(Mom was annoyed at the onlooking geldings on the other side of the fence, while baby was enjoying their attention. lol)
