Just wondering if someone could tell me what color pattern(s) this filly might carry...and what (if any) patterns the mare carries. Let me know if you need any other pictures, and I'll try to get them. Unfortunately, I don't have any other pics of the stud, and I think he's since been sold.

Splash and Frame is my thought

off topic but how long has the mare's back been that low, did you get her like that? how does it happen? this is like the 7th horse I've seen like that and I can't figure it out.

It's been that way for a few years now...mostly due to age, lack of exercise (it improves to a degree if she gets regular exercise) and carrying 7 foals throughout her life. She'll be 23 this year, and it just started getting noticeable in the past couple years...we've had her her entire life.

Can you educate me a bit on what exactly makes you say those? I'm trying to figure all these color patterns out, but I'm so confused, I thought it might help it stick in my brain if I see it explained on my own horses

Also, what pattern would the mare carry?

First the mare- Should could carry frame, but its doubtful. If anything I would say possibly splash but I doubt it. I think she only has sabino.

As for the baby- The white on her is basically "framing" her. The white never crosses the back. The edges are jagged. What makes me say splash is the legs. Frame does not put white on the legs. So if there is white there then theres another pattern. Also the bald face and mustache sream splash to me.

So does that spot where the white crosses over her neck in her mane not count as crossing over her back? Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to figure this out.

Also...opinions on this gelding?







I'm going to guess splash because of the white on the legs...but beyond that I'm lost Also, what would cause all the brown "freckles" in his white?

No it doesnt. Its between the withers and the tail that is technically considered the back

As for the gelding I am going to say frame and Tobiano possibly splash, but I dont think so. The markings are very similar to where tobianos have white, but then all of the edges are jagged making them look like frame markings. Tobiano causes the white on the legs. The reason IMO for the brown spots is a fight with frame and tobiano. Frame wants a white face and tobiano wants a colored face.

Frame is a side mouth moustache and splash is a nose nostril/front lip mustache JMO

Looks frame/splash. surly some form of sabino.
