The tobiano gene produces white-haired, pink-skinned patches on a base coat color. The coloration is almost always present from birth and does not change throughout the horse's lifetime, unless the horse also carries the gray gene. It is a dominant gene, so any tobiano horse must have at least one parent who carries the tobiano gene.
This Thoroughbred stallion (W2/+) has one form of dominant white.His skin, hooves, and coat lack pigment cells, giving him a pink-skinned white coat. Dominant white (W) [1] [2] is a group of genetically related coat color alleles on the KIT gene of the horse, best known for producing an all-white coat, but also able to produce various forms of white spotting, as well as bold white markings.
