Re: Odd markings
Ok well this didn't turn out to be as interesting as I thought. The photo was posted under the wrong horse's name on PQ. The horse I posted was said to be North Jet. I remember seeing a photo of Naevus years ago and was stunned at how similar North Jet and Naevus were so I set out to find a Naevus photo last night. Finally found one and turns out that IS Naevus. THIS is North Jet:

What was going to be so interesting about that was how similar Naevus and North Jet would have been had that actually been NJ. Additionally, A North Jet mare (whose dam was entirely solid) was bred to Naevus and produced... none other than Airdrie Apache:

So I would have have been really intrigued that those two horses produced this one. It's a bit different now that I see what NJ really looks like. It's hard to say if AA got his pattern (or more of his pattern) from Naevus or NJ as Naevus has thrown many total whites and many loudly marked horses, but so has NJ (including AA's dam).
Anyway... still interesting, though less so than I'd originally thought.
Re: Odd markings
Sabino on Red males seems to express more wildly than on other bases.
Actually I have found that Sabino expresses louder on Red, whether male or female, but loudest of all on Red males.
So this [i]could[/i] just be Sabino........although IME Sabino usually goes hand in hand with Splash.....
Re: Odd markings
[quote="Sara"]I agree with that comment with regard to some breeds but not TBs, otherwise we would see way more blue eyed or wildly marked ones like you get in Welshes and Quarter Horses. Splash is still pretty rare in the TB gene pool.[/quote]
I personally completely disagree.
Re: Odd markings
Sabino if that's a TB.. if not those back socks might be Tobiano. *Shrug*
