Photograph of a frame overo Paint horse. Frame overos have sharply defined, irregular, horizontally oriented white patches. As here, they are often bald-faced and white patches seldom cross the topline, creating a “frame” of non-white coat.

White pattern continuum for heterozygote (LP/lp) and homozygote (LP/LP) leopard complex gene. Note that there is a continuum of white pattern in both heterozygote and homozygote horses. Horses homozygous for Lp, however, have little to no pigmented spotting within the white patterned areas. (Reproduced with permission from Sheila Archer).

Figure 4
A silver-colored Rocky Mountain Horse. The typical shiny white mane and tail as well as a slightly diluted body color with dapples is seen in this genetically black silver-colored horse. The phenotype is caused by dilution of eumelanin in the hair to white or grey. The dilution is most visible in the long hairs of the mane and tail. The horse has also been diagnosed with MCOA.
