Tested Splash Horses

I thought it would be interesting to start a thread for horses who have been tested for splash and their results. So, If you have a horse that is being tested and you'd like to share their photos and the test results, please post them here. Hopefully this will give us a better idea of what, if any, visual differences exist between the 3 splash mutations and also give us a better idea of what truly constitutes a splash marking and how minimal they can be.

I am anxious to see if there are any brown eyed tested positive Splashed Whites.

One of mine has one brown eye. Will be interesting to see if any have two.

Has been tested for overo he is negative :) which is great as one of my mares is LWO+

It does make one wonder about the blue eyes and wide blazes...I know Lace is LWO pos. but still, there HAS to be something else going on with her (other than "sabino" of course)... :-?

That is awesome! Your hunch was right about LWO all along. ^_^

Pyrros needs to be put in the gallery for being a frame positive horse with unusually high leg white.

critterkeeper Wed, 02/08/2012 - 18:05

And going back through the Gunner line, I suspect it started with Mr. Gun Smoke (but then again those Leo/Sugar Bars lines look minimal splashy to me ymwhisle ).

[quote=admin]May I add one of those photos of Pyrros to the tested for splash page?[/quote]

Sure! That would be great!

ETA: Oh, and for labeling purposes, her registered name is JSL Psyches Magic.

[quote=admin]How would you like the photo credit to read?[/quote]

I checked the credits on the other photos in the gallery, and well, I don't have a ranch, so "Photo courtesy of Amanda Smith" is fine.

I have been thinking about something...Although I've only seen a few photos of horses that have tested SW2/SW1...They don't have as much white as I would have expected for a homozygous Splash horse. I wonder if it could be that SW2 is dominant to SW1? Just an idea and may well be wrong. I can't wait to see more results. Has anyone seen an example of an SW3 horse yet?

Monsterpony Thu, 02/09/2012 - 15:04

I wish they would release the paper so we could know where and what mutations they are. For all we know, they are calling mutations found at different loci all SW because of phenotype.

Annie's test came back positive today for one copy of N/SW1. You can use these or any that are in my gallery on here :) .

Coat Color results for BDB FASHION DESIGN(DT29557):

Splashed White SW-1 Result:
N/SW1 - Horse has one copy of the SW-1 mutation.

Splashed White SW-2 Result:
N/N - No copies of SW-2 mutation.

Splashed White SW-3 Result:
N/N - No copies of SW-3 mutation.

I like the one of her and her Dam because even though her Dam is registered solid, I'm sure she is the one Annie got the copy of the SW1 from(not from her loudly colored frame sire), her Dam is Balink bred,and has another filly by a different sire that is obviosuly HZ Splash.

[b]Is this filly also positive for Frame? [/b][/quote]

No! :-o that was the first thing I tested her for and she came back LWO N/N from Animal Genetics, we had a big debate on a thread here wether she would or wouldn't be and we all were kind of surprized she wasn't. Except Danni she guessed right lol :-D I know she is also some form of Sabino, I haven't tested her for Sabino 1 yet(not to sure if that would be the one). She is also very minimal Rabicano.

Here is her pedigree on Allbreed there is a full body shot of her Sire in the info part. I'm guessing she got the Sabino from him because he go's back to Jetalito and the Splash from the Dam because she is Barlink bred. Not sure where the Rabicano came from.

.....and this is her 1/2 sister I mentioned, also negative for frame through parentage, bot parents negative for frame...

The reason I asked is because of the leg that appears solid all the way to the hoof. I know we have often considered that a characteristic of Frame.

This Splash test may not be perfect, but I certainly think it is an eye opener and causing us to question some of our previous theories. ymwhisle ymwhisle

Freeland, this mare of ours which tested positive for frame and just was tested heterozygous Splashed White has NO LEG WHITE. Not even a coronet band. I suspect her filly from last year will come back homozygous splashed white as the sire also tested N/SW-1.

Here is the mare:

Here is her 2011 foal: She tested negative for Frame and Sabino. She carries the silver gene so is light in this foal photo:

Yes the mostly solid leg (she does have a little white on her coronet) is why the majority of us on here including myself thought she would come back positve for frame she also has a belly spot...must be from the Sabino? In your opinion Soncatcher do you think she is Sabino 1 or some other form of Sabino, isn't Sabino 1 ususally more Roanish looking??

I'm not really sure regarding the SB1. I have paid very little attention to it, as there are so many obvious Sabino horses that will not test positive for SB1. However, I am trying to watch and learn. Possibly others will have a better answer for you.
