Homozygous Compound or Double Splash?

I would have to agree with
I would have to agree with Threnody that there needs to be a name that is easy for us lesser educated people to get it ok. It just would be easier than saying um that horse is a Homozygous splash, but that other horse over there is just a splash, nevermind it has just as much white as the first one, just trust me ok..... Wait a minute, did I just call myself stupid?? Well you get my point at least...I hope.
I agree that we need to
I agree that we need to explain which SW gene we are talking about.
On my website I will state that the horse is positive for SW-1 or homozygous for SW-1. Miniatures do not have the SW-2 or SW-3 genes as yet.
My only issue is the number of horses we are finding that have classic SW patterns and yet are testing negative.

I think just calling the ones
I think just calling the ones who are SW1/SW2 or SW2/SW3 "Splash White" is the most appropriate and then going into details about the actual genetics of it.
