Re: ??? on appaloosa genetics
I'm gonna veto the silver, cuz, as MP says, Lp does funky stuff, including (especially??) to manes and tails. Remember Casey's now white eyelashes? LOL Base colour--kinda hard to figure out. She looks like she could be bay, but then again, she could possibly be black.

Kewl beans...I'm always up for questions :bounce
Heather, I'm torn between him being a bay and being a black. Registered name? I can pull him up on the ApHC member's database.

Okaaaay....Go Whitelightening, 1986 Florida born gelding, white with spots over loin and hip is registered as a PALOMINO! He's by TS Whitelightening, app stallion, out of Ugolea, qh mare. (http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/go+whit…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
Ts Whitelightening, 1980 Florida born stallion, chestnut/sorrel, white over body and hips. With the dam being a QH, I can't check on her colour. I have however just asked on another forum where there are some horse historians to see if I can dig up some info on her.

Re: ??? on appaloosa genetics
Honestly I think he'd just about have to be. It's so unlikely that he could be silver and I find it HIGHLY unlikely that the app genes alone are causing the mane and tail to be THAT pure of color. I'd say either a flaxen liver or a dark/sooty palomino. His pasterns are red, but that means nothing when it comes to Apps. His base really does look black, but I just can't see that mane and tail happening on a black without silver.
Re: ??? on appaloosa genetics
A wrapped around blaze is very typical of splash so I'd say that's where the blue eyes came from.
