Calico Tobiano

Re: Calico Tobiano
[quote="accphotography"]It also seems far more common on red bases for some reason.[/quote]
I guess it makes some sense since red pigment is less stable/rugged(?) than black pigment.
This forum has a picture of a calico buckskin tobiano near the bottom... on his bottom. :mrgreen:

Re: Calico Tobiano
I think I may have found 2 possible somatic mutation calico tobiano [u]mules[/u].
PAINTED PRARIE and PAINTED DESERT
http://www.equinecolorbreeders.com/mule…
Both are out of paint mares, but that is all the info given on the maternal side so I don't know if the mares passed on cream with the tobiano.
Re: Calico Tobiano
Wow, they are very cool! Neither look like dilutes though? Also doesn't that sort of mark appear with non tobianos too?! Calico Tobianos just sounds like some selling gimmick name to me...
They look somatic mutations, that were called that before this word calico appeared?!
Also the mark that my buckskin mare has, seems a bit different, it's still buckskin but just a patch of a much darker shade? So probably not a somatic mutation?
Re: Calico Tobiano
Well sales people didn't come up with it, Sponenberg did (don't get me started on THAT :rofl). The horses that he calls calico do not look like ANYTHING else IMO and it only happens with cream and tobi that I have seen so far.
Those two mules are still somatics IMO Danni.
Is it maybe a Bend Or?
Re: Calico Tobiano
If Sponenberg came up with it, that explains a lot :roll:
This my buckskin mares patch above her eye, very bad picture of it but it's not a bend-or. She's up at the breeding centre right now so can't get a clear one. But the line between dark and light is much more pronounced on the upper side. It's more an obvious patch of dark from front on. Just can't find a picture without the forelock in the way! I didn't figure it was that weird, just call it her birth mark! But it seems similar to what you are saying with the patches on the tobianos?
Re: Calico Tobiano
Here's a good example from another forum. The owner thinks he's chimeric but I'm pretty sure he's just a calico:

Re: Calico Tobiano
Would this Paso Fino's markings be considered calico?

This one really looks like a "calico" lets you see why they call it that.

Re: Calico Tobiano
I just got in touch with a old friend, thanks to Amanda :) Anyway she sent me pictures of her horses and told me about the website where I could look at their sire. Is he a calico Tobiano? He just has the one darker spot and it's pretty dark, here is the pics of him. http://www.freewebs.com/katebarnz/apps/…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Re: Calico Tobiano
Well this is probably a calico tovero vs tobiano, but....
