Splashed white or splash is a horse coat color pattern in the "overo" group of spotting patterns that produces pink-skinned, white markings. Many splashed whites have very modest markings , while others have the distinctive "dipped in white paint" pattern.
A frame overo horse appears to be any solid base color (bay, black, chestnut, etc.) with white irregular patches added, usually with a horizontal orientation. Markings are often of jagged shape rather than rounded, the white rarely crosses the back, the lower legs tend to be dark, and the tail is one color, usually dark. The head is often white ...
A palomino mare with a chestnut foal. This golden shade is widely recognized as palomino. Palomino is a genetic color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail; the degree of whiteness can vary from bright white to yellow. The palomino color derived from the inter-breeding of Spanish horses with those from the United States. [1]
Therefore, "brown" can be an ambiguous term for describing horse coat color. It is clearer to refer to dark-colored horses as dark bays or liver chestnuts. This foal was born bay but is starting to turn gray. To further complicate matters, there apparently exists more than one genetic mechanism that darkens coat colors.
Steel Grey/Iron Grey: A grey horse with intermingled black and white hairs. This color occurs in a horse born black, or in some cases, dark bay, and slowly lightens as the horse ages. Rose Grey: A grey horse with a reddish or pinkish tinge to its coat. This color occurs in a horse born bay or chestnut and slowly lightens as the horse ages.
It is believed that Misty inherited her cream gene from her mother, Phantom, who was a smoky black, a color produced by the action of a heterozygous cream gene on an underlying black coat color. Misty was also heterozygous for the pinto gene, which passed to her descendants through her third surviving foal, the Chincoteague Pony mare Stormy ...
[5] [9] In any crossing of two carrier parents, the statistical probability of producing a solid-colored, living foal is 25%; a 50% chance exists for a frame-patterned, living foal; and a 25% chance exists of a LWS foal. [14] This Thoroughbred mare was born pure white with pink skin. Such foals are occasionally born with no apparent white ancestry.
The Tovero (also known as Tobero) [1] coloration is a mix of tobiano and overo colorations in Pinto horses and American Paint Horses.The genetics of pinto coloration are not always fully understood, and some horses have a combination of patterns that does not fit cleanly in either category.
