What gene would cause these markings

Out of curiosity what gene do you think would most likely cause the star / snip and the sox on this colt. Has been tested as OLWS neg. Thanks :) Here is a link to his pedigree http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/samsons+gold

I'm still getting my head around the different genes so please bear with me lol. Do you think splash due to the shape and lack of symmetry to the star and for the lack of continuity of the white down his face and sabino for keeping the white from near his eyes plus adding the sox?? Am I close?? lol

Socks show the "straight"/horizontal line of splash (missed that earlier, don't know why), yes on the shape, and sabino due to the white on the upper lip (which I also missed...time for glasses maybe, LOL).

Who are you using to transport him?

I agree with splash and likely sabino. I ride a horse with almost those exact same markings too. Cute to see it on a champagne.

NZ App - I'm using Crispin Bennett International Horse Transport. They have been fantastic to deal with.

I've been advised that my colt will be released from Quarantine in Sydney on the 29th May. Yay! Not long now :)
