What Patterns Do You Think

If you are going to breed him he should be tested. If he has Rowdy in his pedigree.....he should DEFINITELY be tested!!!

Thanks all and yes he will be tested. I am pretty sure he is frame, and I assumed splashed and tobi as well, glad I am not the only one thinking that.

Just curious, why do you all think he has splash? I'd think more of overo, and his dam is definitely a tobiano. Can't remember what a medicine hat is...

Well if by overo, you mean frame overo, then I don't think he is obvious for it as he has too much white to really see a frame pattern, but obviously he could easily hide it. As for splash, his face just screams it, bald faces are pretty traditional splash as nothing else really causes that other than maybe dominant white and Sb1 in some cases.

So is it the splash gene that causes Medicine Hat pintos?

Or Sabino, but you rarely get Splash without Sabino, and Sabino does not cause blue eyes. Agree there is no obvious Frame (will not use the term overo, no way. Pointless)

Tovero I have a very similar Q? I have looked it up a bit and au think medicine hats are "tovero" blue eyes is a sign I think but I'm really not sure as have only looked this up in last hr! This is my boy

Tovero is not a pattern, it is just anything + Tobiano, so it is pretty mush as useless as "overo" for describing a pattern.....

Medicine hats are usually Sabino (which is almost impossible to test for as the test only covers one type of Sabino) Blue eyes do not go with Sabino, so you would have to have Sabino and Splash- well, normally this happens anyway, it is rare to get Splash without Sabino and impossible to prove anyway.

Back to the drawing board!
