When the colors just don't cooperate...
-
Okay! So I just bred my pasture and I'm just now starting to breed for quality and a little for color, or not for certain colors. I don't like the look of White Spotted horses, but my best intact filly this season is of course white spotted. Neither of her parents show the pattern, so what genes do I need to be culling out to avoid more in the future? I've looked in the genetics guide but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for so I haven't found anything. Thanks in advance!

She picked up the white from her dam. It's super loud on her because she got W20 from her sire. The whites are KIT genes, and you can breed them out over time if you just constantly breed only to horses that do not have the gene you don't want, and then don't continue to breed any foals that inherit it.

So I want to go ahead and breed her because her PT and paper level is the highest out of all my fillies, I have an A papered stallion I bred last season, but he carries the W20 as well. Should I only breed her to a different stallion that doesn't carry it to prevent it from showing so loudly again? I have another filly that is white spotted and her dam is white spotted as well but shes not solid white like the two foals are. This is the other dam with lighter spotting that I like. https://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=7735083

Actually you might want to avoid W x W20 breedings regardless bc they have a (minor) risk of lethal white. KITw has a small chance of a lethal white foal with literally all the KIT mutations.

Good to know! Thank you! I'll have to go through and sort my herd for that, and breed to one of my other stallions on my risky kit mares.

The W gene on the dam especially makes them fairly white, partnered with W20, they are usually all white!
