Yep. Just a loud homozygous splash.

They can be. They aren't always. Sometimes they are just really loud, but 100% white is a possibility.

To me, it's kind of strange to see all these foals with so much white eligible for AQHA registration because for so long the AQHA wouldn't register horses with more than a certain amount of white (as in much above the knees/hocks or with belly spots or white under the chin -- very typical sabino markings).

Even the white one is AQHA eligible I guess, since DNA parentage testing is now the requirement. Heck, the AQHA even registered one with an Appy blanket a few years ago because DNA said he was who his breeder said he was.

Here's the blurb under the white filly. Is there a possibility that one parent is DW??

*Interesting story going on with this filly. Both parents are splash overos.
Animal Genetics are doing a study on this girl. In all respects, this filly
should have been a splash chestnut/ - 100%. She tested negative for the Sabino gene.
They haven't seen anything like it and are saying it is rare - Homozygous (SplSpl)
for the splash overo gene. Dominate White (W)?

No neither parent is DW. Both parents are minimal/loud splash and neither have the production record of a DW.

It IS possible that this filly is a new mutation of DW, but IMO it's a much much much much greater chance that this filly is just homozygous splash. Especially with her blue eyes.

They...both QH and Paints changed that rule in 2005 I believe.....

QH would accept the "painted" Quarter horses as long as the parents are both registered QH.....and for that baby to be a "paint" at least ONE parent has to be registered as a Paint....

Those foals are CUTE I forget how muscular the QH are...

Good Luck to them...

But short.

Interesting case with the white filly.

The ones with white faces look like Hereford cows.

This is the bit that is confusing, do they suspect DW? Or is this just a guess from the ad copy writer?

Not AQHA.. but APHA.. since dam is not AQHA registered nor eligible.

I doubt it as that's the wrong spelling of Dominant. ROFL

Gunner has a bunch. Gunsandwhiteroses is the most "famous of them." A few of the other fairly well known splashes have a few. Ill see what I can grab.
