Amazing color+pattern

Someone posted this on another forum and I thought I'd share this beautiful girl. [url]http://www.horsetopia.com/for-sale/classifieds/ad478837[/url] My guess was splash+frame. At first I thought just splash, but then remembered the color on the hind legs, as a few people told me it's frame that restricts the white on one of my mare's hind legs. Or am I way off? lol

Very cool!!! Definitely Splash, don't see frame specifically, but doesn't mean it isn’t there of course

I think Splash, for sure, possibly H/Z + Sabino (hence the chest shields) and .....wait for it....Tobiano.
Mainly because we all know Tobi hates white on the body and likes white on the legs. I would, obviously, test for Frame but I do not think it is there.
What I [i]really[/i] like is that I like the animal underneath, and the pattern is just a bonus!

That is a super cool horse, thanks for sharing :smile: ...my guess would be just HZ splash & sabino. Like Annie but 2 splashes instead of just one :lol: .

I see splash, sabino and, like RF, probable tobi....and one thing we always stress: every patter can can carry frame, so test (unless you have one of those "rare" breeds without frame).

:shock: :o :shock: RF [b]LIKES [/b]a mustang...wow-o-wow :-t , (Just picking RF)....Seriously, I like this pony too, and she isn't that far from me, but I am about horse poor right now (winter started early and it looks to be heading for a bad one). I am just grateful I am not in Hawaii with Morgan...couldn't afford that hay bill for sure.

Yes, I do like her, the breed is not really important, I did not even catch that she was a Mustang. I once bought a New Forest mare for the oldest and a NF gelding for her cousin, I HATE (loathe) New Forest ponies, but these two were the best ponies for the job, they were solid gold, both of them!

Na, Splash does not put chest shields on, that's at least Sabino in there, and I think Tobiano, but I would be happy to drop that.

Imho, I still see sabino or tobi with the splash because splash alone normally wouldn't have that jagged of an appearance to the color seperation lines (esp. if there aren't any halos)...

No, that is a mutated chest shield, the colour became isolated, just as it does with Sabino when it goes for Medicine Hat and gets a War Bonnet......
I would still test for LWO thoughh, even thoug I am pretty sure it is not there....

...first time I heard that description of a mutated chest shield. ymwhisle

Yes, I know, I made it up to describe the situation, but I do not see why you would have trouble understanding what it means?

You know....like "Tovero" :rofl
