I have a miniature horse stallion, and now several mares that have an unusual homozygous tobiano pattern. None have any appaloosa in their pedigrees. I suspect sabino and in some cases splashed white. So far these horses have all come from horses that did not look like their parents and they have only occaisionally reproduced themselves.

Here are a few of the mares:

2011 will be the first foaling of the stallion to one of these mares.
Are any of you breeding a horse with simular genes and can you give me any insights as to what to expect or how to produce foals like these horses???
Thank you for your help.

We have had an occaisional mishap at the lab and asked for a recheck.
Though, I know there are exceptions to the ink spots rule.
