    this cool stallion has tiny dots. I bred him to an assortment of mares and not ONE baby got tiny dots.
    What gene causes those little dots?

    Thank you

    To be snowflake you need at least het Lp (Lp/-) and hom snow (snow/snow). Of your gene tested foals, most seem only het snow (snow/-), so they won’t have the snowflake pattern

    You need snow/snow and a Lp for it to show. So the foals need a copy of snow from their mom to show.

    Also, you should be aware that snowflake is a variation of appaloosa varnishing and causes progressively larger spots as the horses age until they are nearly completely white. Here are some examples at various ages:

    Where do you see "sn"? I know "sno" is an allele of the cream gene that is often confused with "snow," which is a variation of appy varnish.

    I was looking at the snowflake upgrade page and it says "sn" and "Sn" but not snow so I was afraid to push the button
