The 2022 ABRCB auction has come to a close, which means I need to make room for new IDs and send out ones that were won by bidders! I've made a list below of who I won and who won some of my consignments.

While much is still to be learned about the genetics behind appaloosa coat patterns (blankets, leopards, snowcaps, few spots, varnish, etc.), 2 genes have been identified that affect the physical characteristics of these types of patterns. This post is meant to set some "guidelines" for myself to use when pedigreeing horses with appaloosa patterning. While the genotypes and corresponding phenotypes listed below may not be entirely accurate, they are guided by the information currently available from the links at the bottom of this post. Please note that I use the term "appaloosa spotting" in place of "leopard complex spotting" as to avoid confusion between the leopard complex gene and the leopard spotting pattern. Many breeds display appaloosa spotting patterns in their gene pools so this post can be used as a reference for a variety of breeds, not just Appaloosas.
