Pony Colours Bay Little Jester here is bay. He has a brown coat and a black mane and tail. Dark Bay Gilbert and Jack are both dark bay. Their bodies are very dark brown, sometimes they look almost black. Their manes and tails are black. Bright Bay Peter is bright bay. He has a light brown, almost reddish coat and black mane and tail. Chestnut Bow is a chestnut pony. He is a gingery colour with a matching mane and tail. Chestnut with flaxen mane and tail Zara is chestnut like Bow but her mane and tail are pale and look almost blonde. This is called flaxen. Liver Chestnut Freddie and Buzz are both liver chestnut. They are darker than chestnut, a browny colour with the same colour mane and tail. Cremello This is a cremello pony. He has a cream coloured coat and points (mane and tail) and pink skin and eyes. Cremello ponies often need sun-cream on their noses during the summer to stop them burning. Black This horse is black. A black horse or pony has to be totally black all over with no leg or face markings. Grey Harriet is grey. This means her coat and mane and tail all look white. We don’t call horses white we use the word grey instead. Flea-bitten Grey Harvey and this pony both have flea-bitten grey coats. This means when you look closely you will see they have little brown flecks in their coats. Dapple Grey Lexi is dapple grey. This means most of her coat is dark or light grey mixed with spots and patches of white hair Iron Grey This pony is dark grey all over. This is called iron grey. Blue Roan Blue roan ponies have a greyish coat mixed with white which makes them look slightly blue! Bay Roan A bay roan pony has a brown and white flecked coat and a dark grey or black mane and tail. Strawberry Roan Strawberry roan ponies have a chestnut and white flecked coat and either flaxen or chestnut points. Palomino This horse has a yellow coat and a pale flaxen or white mane and tail. Dun Harry is a dun pony. He has a yellow coat and black points. Piebald A piebald pony has a black and white patchy coat and points. Skewbald Thomas and Tao are both skewbald. They have light or dark brown and white patchy coat and points. Tribald Milly and this pony are both tribald or tri-coloured. This means they have 3 colours in their coats - white, brown and black. Look closely at their manes... Appaloosa These are appaloosas. They have spotty coats. Sometimes the spots cover the whole body, like the horse on the left - this is called ‘Blanket Spots’. Sometimes there is just a patch of spots and sometimes there are only 3 or four 4 spots on the whole horse! .

Mcoa Report Final
REPORT TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN HORSE ASSOCIATION GENETIC SURVEY OF THE PMEL17/ SILVER MUTATION WHICH CAUSES MULTIPLE CONGENITAL OCULAR ANOMALIES (MCOA) Final Draft accepted by RMHA Board: 3 October 2020 Prepared by Noah Anderson Chair, Genetics Committee RMHA Assistant Professor of Biology Winona State University Acknowledgements: Our understanding of MCOA results from the efforts of many people. This disorder has been a part of our breed since the beginning. When reading this report, it would be all too easy to forget that the first study happened over 20 years ago with the cooperation of many bold members of the RMHA and the RMHA itself. Rather than letting politics or popularity of their decisions paralyze them, they chose to face MCOA head on. We owe those people a debt of gratitude for doing the right thing by the horse. This study could have stalled out before it even began if it wasn’t for the dogged determination of David Swan and Steve Autry. David and Steve kept us (the genetics committee) corralled until we understood how important understanding MCOA is to the future of our breed. Steve developed the proposal and laid out the experimental design for this project, then carefully shepherded the project until it was near completion. We are fortunate that Steve is continuing to be a guiding light in our genetics committee, as we work to continue the tradition of doing the right thing by the Rocky Mountain Horse. David passed away while this study was being conducted; we will miss his leadership. Mik Fenn kept me swimming in data from our pedigree database of which he is the expert custodian.

Identification of Horses Booklet
colours & marking booklet_10366 21/7/08 14:32 Page 1 1 Introduction The first edition of this booklet was made available to the veterinary profession in 1930. It was in the form of a report from a Sub-Committee, which had been set up by the Council of the RCVS in 1928, to prepare a system of description, colours and markings, etc. of horses for the purpose of identifying individual animals. Since that date there have been several revised editions. Amendments have been made in the light of experience and in response to the changing demands of the equine industry. The significant increase in the international movement of horses and the insistence by a growing number of organisations which hold shows, gymkhanas, events and other competitive functions that horse owners should supply proof of vaccination against equine influenza, have resulted in greater numbers of practitioners being asked to supply the relevant certification. Additionally DEFRA legislation came into force in 2004 requiring all horses to have a passport containing an accurate set of markings. This latest edition (published May 2008) has been produced by Weatherbys, in conjunction with the RCVS and BEVA, in part as a result of the increased use internationally of microchip transponders to identify horses. Nevertheless, the passport, with its recording of a horse’s colour and markings, remains the essential means of identification for Thoroughbred and Non-Thoroughbred horses and ponies under the implementation Regulation of the EC Directives (Commission Regulation (EC) No. 504/2008 of 6 June 2008 and Council Directives 90/426/EEC and 90/427 EEC.

The Occurrence of Silver Dilution in Horse Coat Colours
ISSN 1392-2130. VETERINARIJA IR ZOOTECHNIKA (Vet Med Zoot). T. 60 (82). 2012 THE OCCURRENCE OF SILVER DILUTION IN HORSE COAT COLOURS Erkki Sild, Sirje Värv and Haldja Viinalass Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences Kreutzwaldi 1, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; Tel: +372 731 3469; Fax: +372 742 2344; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The MC1R allele “e” in the homozygous state leads to the production of pheomelanin and is responsible for inhibition of expression of the silver dilution gene (PMEL17 “Z” allele). Horse coat colour is one of the traits breeders select for. A total of 133 horses representing Estonian Native (48), Estonian Heavy Draught (40) and Tori (45) breeds were genotyped for key polymorphisms at C901T in MC1R, the 11 bp deletion in ASIP and C1457T in PMEL17 to determine horse coat colour variation and selection possibilities to increase silver-diluted colours. Our genotyping results showed the “ee” genotype frequency in the MC1R gene to be as follows: Estonian Native 45.8%, Estonian Heavy Draught 65.0%, and Tori 77.8%, and the “Z_” genotype in PMEL17 to be 10.4%, 12.5%, and 0.0%, respectively. Six of total 133 horses with silver dilution were examined for MCOA. No eye abnormalities were detected. Considering the PMEL17 gene singly, silver coat colour could be expressed phenotypically in 12% of genotyped Estonian Heavy Draught horses, but due to unfavourable covariation with the MC1R “e” allele, it only occurred in two per cent of horses. Keywords: ASIP, horse coat colour, MC1R, MCOA, PMEL17, silver phenotype.

Arabian Coat Color Patterns
Arabian Coat Color Patterns Copyright 2011 Brenda Wahler In the Arabian breed, there are three unusual coat colors or patterns that occur in some purebred horses. The first is sabino, the only white spotting pattern seen in purebred Arabians, characterized by bold white face and leg markings, and, in some cases, body spotting. The second pattern is rabicano, a roan-like intermixture of white and dark hairs. Both sabino and rabicano horses are often registered by their base coat color, with white patterns noted as markings, but some extensively marked individuals have been registered as “roan,” even though true roan is a separate coat color. The third unusual coat color is dominant white, a mutation characterized by a predominantly white hair coat and pink skin, present at birth. All Arabians in the United States currently known to be dominant white trace to a single stallion, foaled in 1996, verified to be the offspring of his registered Arabian parents, both of whom were solid-colored. It is difficult to know how many Arabians have these unusual colors as they are often not searchable in registration records. For many years, Arabians with dominant white, body spots, or simply “too much white” were discouraged from registration, and white body markings were penalized in halter classes. The exclusion of boldly-marked “cropout” horses was also common in other registries, leading to the formation of a number of color breed associations. However, when parentage verification became possible, horses born with “too much” white could be confirmed as the offspring of their stated parents, and breed registries generally relaxed their rules or policies that previously excluded such animals.

Color Coat Genetics
Color CAMERoatICAN ≤UARTER Genet HORSE ics Sorrel Chestnut Bay Brown Black Palomino Buckskin Cremello Perlino Red Dun Dun Grullo Red Roan Bay Roan Blue Roan Gray SORREL WHAT ARE THE COLOR GENETICS OF A SORREL? Like CHESTNUT, a SORREL carries TWO copies of the RED gene only (or rather, non-BLACK) meaning it allows for the color RED only. SORREL possesses no other color genes, including BLACK, regardless of parentage. It is completely recessive to all other coat colors. When breeding with a SORREL, any color other than SORREL will come exclusively from the other parent. A SORREL or CHESTNUT bred to a SORREL or CHESTNUT will yield SORREL or CHESTNUT 100 percent of the time. SORREL and CHESTNUT are the most common colors in American Quarter Horses. WHAT DOES A SORREL LOOK LIKE? The most common appearance of SORREL is a red body with a red mane and tail with no black points. But the SORREL can have variations of both body color and mane and tail color, both areas having a base of red. The mature body may be a bright red, deep red, or a darker red appearing almost as CHESTNUT, and any variation in between. The mane and tail are usually the same color as the body but may be blonde or flaxen. In fact, a light SORREL with a blonde or flaxen mane and tail may closely resemble (and is often confused with) a PALOMINO, and if a dorsal stripe is present (which a SORREL may have), it may be confused with a RED DUN.
