Horse Course # 50 - the American Paint Horse Horse Course # 50 - The American Paint Horse Assignment (All ages): Week number 16...Define the following 10 vocabulary words. Be able to list the 3 coat patterns of the American Paint Horse breed. Be able to explain the difference between pinto and paint. 1. Chrome...a term used to describe flashy white on a horse. 2. Color.......In the paint world...a term meaning that the horse has a spotting pattern. (The opposite of solid) 3. Loud.......a term meaning the horse has lots of “color” 4. Solid.......a horse with no spot pattern 5. Breeding Stock...A horse that would be eligible for registration as a Paint except that it is born a solid color and doesn’t have any white spot markings. They can be registered as paint breeding stock so if they give birth to a spotted foal, the foal can be registered 6. Paint...a spotted horse whose parents are registered as American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse or Thoroughbred. 7. Pinto...a spotted horse of any breed (except the leopard spot) 8. Leopard spotting (leopard complex) ...A coat pattern where there is white patterning with spots that tend to be symmetrical (round) (The appaloosa horse) Three examples of Leopard Spot 9. Cropout...A spotted foal that is born to two solid-colored parents... usually within a breed that doesn’t allow spotted coloration. Example...Two registered Quarter horses produce a spotted foal....that would be a cropout foal. 10. Lethal White...Lethal White Overo Syndrome happens when a foal is homozygous (OO) for the frame overo gene. (In other words, both parent horses are carrying the lethal white gene and the foal inherits the gene from both parents.) The foal will be born solid white or nearly solid white. In the beginning, the foals seem normal, but after a short period of time show signs of colic. Because of this genetic disorder, the intestinal system doesn’t develop properly and the first meals can’t be digested properly. The foals die shortly after birth. (It is always fatal.) The three coat patterns of the American Paint Horse 1. Overo oh vair’ oh 2. Tobiano toe bee ah no 3. Tovero toe vair’ oh Overo Tobiano Tovero Is it a Paint or is it a Pinto? The terms “paint” and “pinto” are sometimes both used to describe spotted horses. Today there is a clear difference between the two terms. A paint differs from a pinto because of bloodlines. A pinto horse must have spots but it can be any breed or combination of breeds. For example, if you had an Arabian horse that had spots, it could be registered as a pinto. Paint is a breed of horses that have spotted markings. To be registered as a Paint, a horse must have registered American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse or Thoroughbred parents and must have a minimum color requirement. Because a paint has spots, they can be registered as a pinto. (Paint horses are often double registered..owners will register them in both the paint registry and the pinto registry) Spots can be of any shape or size ( except leopard patterning like the Appaloosa) and can be located anywhere on the horse’s body. If you see a horse with a non-leopard spot pattern it is always correct to call it a pinto. It is not correct to call a spotted horse a paint unless you know that it is of paint bloodlines. When you are ready…quiz yourself! Lesson #50 The American Paint Horse – Self Test ______ A spotted horse of any breed A. Chrome ______ A term meaning the horse has a spotting pattern B. Cropout C.

    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

    Bits and Pieces: I need to make a correction on my last newsletter. It was brought to my attention that Tracy Smith’s donation of a breeding is not to The Rookie as stated, but to his son RookiesGalantAparition, a homozygous tovero. Sorry for the mix up and thank you Tracy for this very kind donation to the youth raffle. Claudeane Killfoil sent an update on the new arrivals at her place. A dun colt half Arab/half APHA by Cotton Pickin Smoke out of an Arab mare. A grullo overo colt by Cotton Pickin Smoke out of Miss Melodys Hobby (QH), a chestnut overo colt by Wild About Who, out of Commanders Brass (QH) and one sad note that her grullo tovero filly by Cotton Pickin Smoke out of Voodoo Kiss had to be put down. So sorry Claudeane. I have a sorrel overo yearling colt by FPF Lethal Weapon out of a Cracker Jack Sonny mare here that’s for sale. He is with us for some ground work and fitting and will make someone a winner. If you have interest in this nice colt or would like more information about him give me a call, and I’ll put you in touch with the owner. He’s a nice colt, and will definitely be a winner.

  • Special Issue Horse Genetics DIRECTOR’S Message
    CENTER FOR EQUINE HEALTH SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE • UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS SUMMER 2020 Special Issue Horse Genetics DIRECTOR’S Message s an equine genetics researcher, I am particularly excited to share A this special issue of the Horse Report with you. Inside, you will find a roadmap to many of the currently available equine genetic tests, including the AQHA “five-panel” test, and more. The equine genome sequence was published in 2009, the result of a years- long collaborative effort by the international equine research community. This resource drastically changed how researchers approach equine genetics and accelerated the rate of discovery. Increased availability and affordability allowed the application of advanced molecular tools to equine diseases and traits. As a result, genetic tests are available in a variety of breeds. Most available tests are for simple, Mendelian diseases and traits – those caused by a single gene or locus. Complex diseases and traits likely involve more than one gene and may be influenced by environmental effects. The 2018 release of a new equine genome sequence assembly, coupled with cost reductions that make whole-genome sequencing possible for large numbers of horses, are enabling research in these areas. As an equine geneticist and veterinarian, I am especially interested in applying whole genome sequencing and advanced diagnostic tools to equine precision medicine. This highly individualized approach will focus on early detection and prevention of disease, taking into account both genetic information and environmental factors. The idea is to target individuals based on their clinical condition as well as their unique body chemistry and genetics.
