Category:Horse spotting patterns  From Wikimedia Commons, the
free media repository Jump to: navigation, search  In horses,
there are two main classes of spotting patterns. One is the
Leopard complex, created by the Lp gene, characterized by small
spots, seen in breeds such as the Appaloosa and the
Knabstrupper. The other group is Pinto, also known as piebald,
skewbald, tricoloured, blagdon, and calico in various English-
speaking nations. The Pinto group consists of at least four
genetically distinct patterns: 1) Tobiano, a dominant gene (TO);
2) Frame overo, an incomplete dominant that create spotting when
heterozygous, but is lethal when homozygous, (O); 3) Splashed
white, which has yet to be genetically mapped, and may be
created by more than one genetic mechanism; and 4) Sabino, which
is also created by more than one genetic mechanism, with one
form, SB-1 mapped, but SB-1 does not encompass all sabino
horses.           • Overo(5 C, 3 P, 2 F)   S cont.   Pages in
