Got the test results for my filly just now & I'm a bit surprised at the results aside from Tobiano to be honest.
Overo Result:
N/N - No evidence for the altered sequence detected.
Sabino 1 Result:
N/N - No evidence of altered sequence detected.
Tobiano Result:
TO/TO - Two copies of altered sequence. Horse is homozygous for Tobiano. All offspring will inherit Tobiano.
Splashed White SW-1 Result:
N/N - No copies of SW-1 mutation.
Splashed White SW-2 Result:
N/N - No copies of SW-2 mutation.
Splashed White SW-3 Result:

So I'm going to HAVE to do her life registration as Tobiano until proven otherwise, as As far as the Pinto society goes- if they test neg for all Overo genes they are Tobiano period (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), nor will the breeder want to test her stallion now either :(
So where to from here?
I've read somewhere that there is a lab/ geneticist (not sure which/who), that is taking those horse's results whom should be Splash White, yet have tested neg for it- (I remember someone saying this is what had been done with their own horse/s who tested neg) to be part of the study so something). Is this a line worth pursuing?
If so where is that/who do I contact please?
After coming on here I'd been convinced she wasn't "just" Tobiano & well I still believe she isn't "just" tobiano, she has proven to be neg for ALL Overo patterns that can be tested for aside from DW (which I dont she comes close to having), so that is what Im going to have to call her- a Tobiano :shock: Isnt it? :BH
I also have to pass on the info to her breeder- who was told categorically that she was only tobiano (that all her horses were in that regard) & her blue eyes came from being a buckskin tobiano - I dont think I have managed to convince her other wise yet & these results wont help ~x(
I believe it was UC Davis
I believe it was UC Davis that was looking at the horses that tested negative for splash but looked splash.
I would have thought her splash for sure! What fascinating results.
