Horses & Ponies Etcetera! Level 2 Issue 2: Horse Patterns A series of educational fact sheets Horse coat patterns can be by the Equine Therapy Center, with divided into three main Monty and Timothy. groups. If a horse doesn't have a pattern on it's coat, it is known as solid. Appaloosa- This is a horse who has a spotted coat, the spots can range from finger print to hand print size! Pinto- this is a horse who has a patchy coat, made up of white and any other colour. Roan- This occurs when white hairs are mixed with the horses original coat colour, often roan horses get more white hairs as they get older. Types of Appaloosa Patterns Leopard Few Spot A white horse with A white horse with spots all over the few spots, usually body. around the face, chest and flanks.

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.

I . the Color Gene C
THE ABC OF COLOR INHERITANCE IN HORSES W. E. CASTLE Division of Genetics, University of California, Berkeley, California Received October, 27, 1947 HE study of color inheritance in horses was begun in the early days of Tgenetics. Indeed many facts concerning it had already been established earlier, by DARWINin his book on “Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication.” At irregular inteivals since then, new attempts have been made to collect and classify in terms of genetic factors the records contained in stud books concerning the colors of colts in relation to the colors of their sires and dams. A full bibliography is given by CREWand BuCHANAN-SMITH (19301. By such studies, we have acquired very full information as to what color a colt may be expected to have, when the color of its parents and grandparents is known. This knowledge is empirical rather than experimental in nature. For horses being slow breeding and expensive are rarely available for direct experi- mental study, such as can be made with the small laboratory mammals, mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. We have definite information that color inheritance in horses involves the existence of mutant genes similar to those demonstrated by experimental studies to be involved in color inheritance of other mammals. But the horse genes have been given special names, as they were successively discovered, and it is difficult at present to correlate them with the better known names and geneic symbols used by the experimental breeders. The present paper is an attempt to make such a correlation. Just as in morphological studies comparative anatomy was found useful and still is used to establish homologies between systems of organs, so in mammalian genetics, a comparative study of gene action in the production of coat colors and color patterns may also be of value.

Official Standard of the French Bulldog General Appearance
Official Standard of the French Bulldog General Appearance: The French Bulldog has the appearance of an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone, smooth coat, compactly built, and of medium or small structure. Expression alert, curious, and interested. Any alteration other than removal of dewclaws is considered mutilation and is a disqualification. Proportion and Symmetry - All points are well distributed and bear good relation one to the other; no feature being in such prominence from either excess or lack of quality that the animal appears poorly proportioned. Influence of Sex - In comparing specimens of different sex, due allowance is to be made in favor of bitches, which do not bear the characteristics of the breed to the same marked degree as do the dogs. Size, Proportion, Substance: Weight not to exceed 28 pounds; over 28 pounds is a disqualification. Proportion - Distance from withers to ground in good relation to distance from withers to onset of tail, so that animal appears compact, well balanced and in good proportion. Substance - Muscular, heavy bone. Head: Head large and square. Eyes dark in color, wide apart, set low down in the skull, as far from the ears as possible, round in form, of moderate size, neither sunken nor bulging. In lighter colored dogs, lighter colored eyes are acceptable. No haw and no white of the eye showing when looking forward. Ears Known as the bat ear, broad at the base, elongated, with round top, set high on the head but not too close together, and carried erect with the orifice to the front. The leather of the ear fine and soft.

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.

Bits and Pieces: I Need to Make a Correction on My Last Newsletter
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.
