Possibly Homozygous?

[TangoMango]

I attached some pics of a mini we just got. He is black and white? I think and he is sun bleached.

And he has some paw prints, and a bunch of black spots on his legs AND a partial blue eye.

what do you guys think colorwise?

How about pattern wise?

Possibly homozygous?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm going to say Black Tobiano/Splash... Is both of his parents pinto?

Cute new boy...

I have a homozygous black and white stallion with blue eyes and he has no pawprints but I also have a homozygous bay and white mare and she is covered in pawprints so I would say it is possible but the only way to know for sure is to have him tested....

Good Luck with your new guy!

IF BOTH parents are Tobiano, it is possible that he is homozygous. The only way to know for sure is to test.

yup, the only way to find out is a test but i think he is.

My black and white pinto is homozygous. I heard that you can tell if they haave the little sport everywhere and there pinto.

Thanks guys,.

Where do you all recommend for the testing?

The paw prints or ink spots may be an indicator of homozygousity, but not a sure thing. I have had two with paw prints that tested heterozygous.

I would recommend Animal Genetics http://www.horsetesting.com/Equine.htm

Thanks Songcatcher. Any other tests you think I should send in for?

Thanks Songcatcher. Any other tests you think I should send in for?

If you plan to use him for breeding, DEFINATELY test him for Frame (LWO).
