Horse foals are often born with "foal pangaré" or light points, especially over black haired areas, which they lose when they shed their foal coats. At one time, the seal brown coat color was hypothesized to occur from the action of pangaré on a black coat. However, this has been disproven; seal brown horses are a variation of the bay color ...
Both parents must be carriers of one copy of the LWS allele for an affected foal to be born. Horses that are heterozygous for the gene that causes lethal white syndrome often exhibit a spotted coat color pattern commonly known as "frame" or "frame overo". Coat color alone does not always indicate the presence of LWS or carrier status, however.
Mushroom on a bay base A mushroom foal with a bay base. The mushroom gene is a recessive dilution gene that affects red pigment in horses. It was identified in 2014. [1]On a chestnut base coat the horse is born a pale beige with sometimes a greyish or pinkish tint and often keeps that color when it becomes an adult, but some turn darker when an adult.
If two horses with the frame overo gene are bred together, there is a 25% chance the foal will have lethal white syndrome. [ 4 ] Splashed white or splash overo is a group of patterns that tend to have white on the underside, as if a horse ran through white paint with its head lowered.
Hippomanes first appears in pregnant horses and zebras ca. 85 days from conception, earlier there being small white flecks of tissue debris instead. [1] The changes in hippomanes color correspond to changes in color of allantoic fluid. [1] They are often surrounded by shed cells.

Bay: A horse coat color that features black point coloration on a red base coat. All bay horses have a black mane, tail and legs (except where overlain by white markings), caused by the presence of the agouti gene. Most have black hairs along the edges of their ears and on their muzzles, and occasionally will have a slight darkening of the ...
A young chestnut foal, showing slight lightening of skin, possibly related to the pheomelaninistic characteristics of chestnut genetics. The skin will darken as the foal becomes older. Skin depigmentation is not always seen in chestnut foals. A chestnut foal with body-clipped head and neck, showing two-toned hair shaft, lighter at the roots
