***RARITY***

[mellanie]

Hi All

Mellanie with Confetti Farms here. Have a question…Which breed association is going to register the Knab horses here in the US? I know about the color type assoc…IRC, ApSHA, AWS. But I was told that RPSI was, but I can’t find anything on the web site. Any info would be appreciated.

If all these registries would quit focusing on POLITICS and learn about GENETICS, it would be a lot easier on us all. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

It’s not politics as far as the JC goes and it’s been explained around here (and other places) about 10 million times why, at the track, there is a need for a short, set number of color patterns that match JC color descriptions (and sorry folks, a palomino DOES fit the JC color category description for chestnut -search the archives if you want the “why” again, too much energy to explain it all yet again) for quick ID purposes prior to racetime. They don’t say they don’t “exist”, they say they are not going to make yet another color designation after they have gotten them narrowed down to a few choices and descriptions that will fit all horses. Genetics only comes into play when parentage is in question. They are COAT DESCRIPTIONS, not genetic color.

And yes, the JC can reject names for any reason, especially if someone is trying purposely to piss them off.

I think daydreamers idea is great. I was thinking about testing a mare because I wanted to know whether she will always produce dark horses.
I was told that e.g. the “Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover” is doing the genetic test for about 45 Euro. I do not know whether this is true and I have no adress whom to contact. But any large veterinary university should be able give information about that.
Maybe call the horse department or genetics department and they might help.
Anyway, nice foal and I would like to see pictures of movement soon !

Wow, I’m learning a lot from this thread. Color really is a fascinatingly complex thing!

I [B]STILL[/B] want to find out about the “perlino” foal!!!

In German is a leopard a cat and not a horse.
Have you horses? you are breeder of horses, have you a stud farm? Have you a Stallion,or what is your breed. Please let me know

Hi Mahal:
In German the expression Leopard is also an expression for a spotted horse (Tigerschecke). I have heard it used by some people, but that was ages ago, since our vaulting horse (Voltigierpferd) was a spotted horse.

So let me get this straight.
The chances of coloured foals out of these parents (assuming heterozygous where possible)are:

1)buckskin X cremello= 1/4buckskin, 1/4
palomino, 1/4perlino, 1/4 cremello

2)buckskin X perlino= 1/4possible perlino

3)buckskin X palomino= 1/8possible perlino

4)perlino X cremello= 1/2perlino, 1/2cremello

5)perlino X palomino =1/4buckskin, 1/4
palomino, 1/4perlino, 1/4 cremello

6)palomino X cremello= NO POSSIBLE PERLINO(1/2palomino, 1/2cremello)

That’s what I understand of genentics according to http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/~lvmillon/coats.html

Figuring all that out was strangely fun.
