question for you color people

Postby Squishy » Fri Dec 04, 2009 8:08 am

I have a chestnut mare that I'm pretty sure is a minimum sabino. Her full sister had four whites up to the knees and a big blaze with white on the lip. Anyway my mare has always had a few white hairs in her coat. I noticed the other day that she is starting to get little white spots now. She is 5 years old by the way. the hite dots are on her neck. She is starting to have another one form on her other side.

She has not had any injuries so these aren't from that. Its just like she starts getting more white hair in an area until it eventually forms a spot about the size of a dime. Has anyone else had horses that have had this happen?

She is not in the database but she is by undeniable out of less twice.

Sounds like birdcatcher spots but she could also have sabino roaning going on. If she does she must be carrying an armload of suppressor genes to go with them! :D
