There are three additional blue eyed and two brown eyed horses that tested negative which I will post seperatly.These horses are Positive for SW-1, We had no SW-2 or SW-3 positives, so I will only be stating the SW-1 results.

Congratulations Joanne. I am so happy to see these results coming in. Looking forward to more.

I was in contact with Glenn Simerly yesterday @ UCDavis and he said he'd run

Zoey's retained hairs, today, and I'd have the results, next week.

This is so interesting.

Zoe has wrap around white on her face and two crystal blue eyes. She tested

negative for LWO, 2 years ago @ UCDavis.

Gorgeous horses. The one horse who is homo for splash white looks a lot like my filly does who is neg for tobiano and LWO, so am wondering if she is homo for it too? Have to wait til tax return time to send in a test for her though.

Wow amazing horses! As I just found out my splash paint mare is deaf, anyone here with these lovely colored critters have experience with that? I am really curious as they develop the testing for the splash gene if they will be able to find definitive links to the coat pattern with deafness?

Thanks so much for posting pictures with the results. This is a real learning experience for us all.

 

[Charlotte]

Great info! Thank you Joanne for the information accompanied by pix.

 

[LesliKathman]

Thank you so much for posting these, especially the homozygous SW1 horse. That was the one thing I most wanted to see. There are some Morgans with that same kind of pattern being tested, which we suspect are homozygous, so hopefully that will tell us more.

 

[Joanne]

For me this was the best way to present it so we could all learn. I was only allowed to post one photo of each horse, when I first tried to post this with both sides of each horse I was not able to load it.

We also had five negative horses.Which I plan to post seperatly.

Great info.. Thanks again for sharing.. I was glad to see the homozygous SW1 horse as I was curious about that

 

[little lady]

Thanks for posting results with pictures. What a great learning tool. I find this so interesting.

 

[Nancy]

here are 3 I think I will test.

This filly has never been tested for anything.

Please post the results when you get them. We all have so much to learn!

Agouti Result:

a/a - Only recessive allele detected. Black pigment distributed uniformly. Basic color is black in the absence of other modifying genes.

Cream Result:

N/N - No evidence for the Cream dilution altered sequence detected. Basic color is sorrel or chestnut, bay or black in the absence of other modifying genes.

Silver Result:

N/N - No evidence of the altered sequence detected.

Nancy do you have full body photos both sides of this mare, like you might have for registration? I would love to see her leg markings as well.

Thanks.

 

[Equuisize]

The only leg white Zoey has appears on her left side (front and rear) with white hooves.

There is counter shading, at the coronet band on the right side, but the hooves are black.
