At this point, I don't think
At this point, I don't think anyone knows what causes lacing beyond some horses occasionally have a history of skin infection. But there have been many more cases of lacing with no known cause. I don't have a clue if it will eventually turn white.
This is a miniature horse
This is a miniature horse mare we have that has lacing. Her dam had it as well. Both did not show it until they were five or so, though they had a small amount earlier. No history of skin infections. This is a unique and facinating pattern.

She is tested LWO. Homozygous for black.
Has anyone ever done any
Has anyone ever done any research on lacing? Is it possible that it could be connected to LWO or sabino somehow? Or is that completely stupid of me to say :rofl
I would think if it was
I would think if it was connected that it would show up in more horses since so many horses in the world are sabino and/or lwo positive. *shrug* I don't see why it couldn't just be a new pattern in itself.
Pacific, is there any gray
Pacific, is there any gray going on there? Also very pretty.
I guess the white lacing could potentially be a progressive pattern like some forms of sabino.
No, the mare is homozygous
No, the mare is homozygous for black out of a black mare and a bay (homozygous for black) stallion. No grey in either pedigree. I suspect some sort of sabino gene causing the roaning in her face. That was not present at birth, but, like the lacing, has occured as she aged.
Very neat Pacific! Krissy,
Very neat Pacific!
Krissy, please keep us updated! It will be interesting to see if any changes happen.
Very neat! I don't
Very neat! I don't personally know if it will turn white but please keep us updated! ^_^ I hope someone else with more experience with lacing might have a better answer for you.
