I am really going to have to
I am really going to have to check them both out hoof wise. I have obviously cared for their hooves and picked them out and washed them but a spot of white has not jumped out at me but then maybe I wasnt really looking at the colour.
I am also considering testing Banner for LWO and I know its only a drop in the ocean but I might test for Splash. Banners 1/2 brother was splash - well actually they are more then 1/2 brothers because as well as having the same sire their dams are 1/2 sisters (same sire - La Vista Brilliant Remark who is LWO+).
I swear these minis have some sort of colour genetics plot to torment us LOL
I have finally sent off the
I have finally sent off the hair samples for Warrior and he is being tested for Dun,Splash, SB1 LWO and Agouti (only as his sire is a Buckskin and I am interested to see if he got a copy)
Warrior has gone to his new home and as of the day he left that hoof was still solid white and the others hadnt changed a lot but were changing.

Yeah I reckon that he must have something going on.
His 1/2 sister is a very obvious Splash Sabino but even though her dam tested positive for Splash and Sb1. The filly tested negative for Spalsh. I didn't test her for SB1.
So either the dam has 2 types of splash or the stallion carries a form of splash that cant be tested for.
Here is the Fillys Dam Shimmer - She is Homozygous Black and is also positive for Splash and SB!

So this is why I am wondering if he is carrying something that is either so small its like looking for a needle in a haystack or carries it but does not express it
Do any of them have
Do any of them have non-pigmented spots on their soles? I've seen a breed that wasn't supposed to have much, if any, white and they checked the bottoms of the feet. I think it's also theorized that white markings start internally so that might be the reason or it popping up despite the fact that neither parent showed anything externally. Also, the sire is buckskin so the black pigment perhaps suppressed some white?
