Lena's Foaling Thread

[Ladybug2001]

That would be my luck, gosh darn it. Poo... well at least he/she will still be able to be registered as a soild paint.

Memory made me say wrong. The paint foal she had was a brown and white overo. O.o

Here is a picture from December(When all horses were first rescued.)


The bay foal up front she was nursing, no one knows the filly is hers or not.
The paint yearling in the back was hers for sure.

No unfortunatly.

Bummer.....well if she has another foal like him it will definitely be a great looking horse!!

What marking are you hoping for?

[Ladybug2001]

That would be a good question...

Overo or tobiano are my choices... more then likely. I would love a black and white overo..

[csimkunas6]

I have to say, after getting Rodeo I have a soft spot for overo's

I know that the foal is on it's way regardless, but have you though about testing Lena for LWO? I understand that there is nothing you can do now if she is positive, but it might be best to be informed and prepared just in case if you know what I mean?

[Ladybug2001]

Its my understanding that tobianos do not carry the frame gene and there for can not carry LWO.. Am I wrong in this thought?

She has at least one other white pattern, since currently leanings are toward tobiano not causing face white. Frame can and does hide, so I personally would recommend testing any horse in a breed that has it.


These two horses carry frame, but present a phenotype that does not suggest it (aside from blue eyes, which can also be caused by splash).







This tobiano also carries frame, and as you can see, there is not much evidence of it.



I am not at all suggesting that Lena carries frame. I just naturally suspect any Paint of carrying it, and would always suggest testing before breeding in any breed that is known to have frame.
