Jorge? question for you Black on Black paint (not Tbred)

Postby Inyureye » Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:16 pm

Has anyone ever heard of this before? I found this discussion on Chronicle of horse http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/showt ... p?t=262311

with links to these photos

It looks almost like the skin under the hair is part white and some black skin, with all the same color hair, which is basically black.

Anyone ever hear of this before? Is it chimeric?

What is this called, how does it happen?

Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

It's very unusual. Personally I think it's either chimeric or somatic and just a different black individual (and thus a different tone).

Like this, only both sections are black:

Very interesting case, but I think that within Thoroughbreds there is a very
remarkable case with a slightly different design. His name is ALADIN DANCER:
