I'm looking for an any color Snowflake appaloosa mare, preferably a warmblood, but will take a draft or a riding horse.

I have got some heterozygous stallions for sale, they are in a post. If you click on my user name it should show you my posts.

How can you tell who carriers are?

LCorona001 · Sep 26, 2019 5:42 PM

If a parent is HOM Snowflake the foal has to be HET Snowflake.

Chesneythecorgi · Sep 26, 2019 6:10 PM

Right. And how can you tell if they’re homo?

Chesneythecorgi · Sep 26, 2019 6:10 PM

Like, what gene or combo is snowflake?

LCorona001 · Sep 26, 2019 6:19 PM

This is what snowflake looks like

Just wanted to add in that if a horse is hom snowflake, but does not have the appaloosa gene(lp), then you won't see any of the snowflake spotting. But a descendant who has the LP gene, such as if you cross the horse with another snowflake who has LP, then you could easily get a foal with the snowflake spotting.

@Chesneythecorgi snowflake is also a hidden gene, it won't show up in the genetic testing results. You only know if they have it if one or both parents do (automatically at least het). Homo (has 2 snowflake genes) will show visually on the horse, like in the example above, but the horse must also have LP (appaloosa). I good test for homo (if the visual is ambiguous) is to try to register the horse in the snowflake club, only homo snowflakes can be registered.
