Oh another ripper! I think any of those ones that have the snowcap/few spot looking patches at birth are homozygous Lp? Seems to hold true from my breeding anyway

Oh, that'd be cool! Mostly because every time I try to breed any pretty colors in, I get nadda.... :(

Same here, my "snowcaps" seem to be homozygous for Lp.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are you guys defining as snowcaps? I have the general idea, but I'd be interested to know specifically what you're looking at.

For me I consider snowcaps as looking like a horse just got snow dumped on its hindquarters.

Any of those ones with the few spot looking patches at birth I consider snowcaps, no matter where the white is it is still homozygous Lp, it's just that the smaller patches of white have a less white patn. A full patn1 homozygous Lp would be the true few spot
I'd consider this one of the snowcaps

Yup, ditto Kintara. Basically, a blanket with little to no spots in it. Usually, I've noticed, with a lacey/roany edge. Like "Dance" here.

YES!!! Finally got a foal with white going down on its legs! Image And I found this on wikipedia, has a section on the appy patterns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appaloosa ... g_patterns

Although you still might get solid looking foals at birth because they may not be homozygous for a patn :(
