Pairing 7
Stallion 2 x Mare 7
Note: Stallion 2 passed before this pairing could complete their necessary foals.

Stallion	Mare
Shetland Brown Cream Homozygous Lp, light tobiano	Arabian Black No white markings

Foals

Conclusions
This pairing produced four foals with no visible Lp at birth. It appears as though this mare carried no genes for pattern extension.

Pairing 8
Stallion 2 x Mare 8
Note: Stallion 2 passed before this pairing could complete their necessary foals.

Stallion	Mare
Shetland Brown Cream Homozygous Lp, light tobiano	Belgian Black No white markings

Foals

Conclusions
This pairing produced four foals with no visible Lp at birth. It appears as though this mare carried no genes for pattern extension.

Pairing 9
Stallion 3 x Mare 1

Stallion	Mare
Belgian Mealy Bay Minimal tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Of the three foals produced by this pairing, one showed no Lp at birth while the two others showed coverage consistent with their mother. Based on previous observations of this stallion and mare when paired with others it seems that this stallion does carry pattern genes but they are minimal.

Pairing 10
Stallion 3 x Mare 3

Stallion	Mare
Belgian Mealy Bay Minimal tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp

Foals

Conclusions
All three foals for this pairing had visible Lp at birth with one foal showing slight extension along the spine. This pairing appears to confirm the earlier theory that this stallion does carry pattern genes but they are minimal.

Pairing 11
Stallion 4 x Mare 1

Stallion	Mare
Belgian Mealy Bay No visible tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
None of the four foals produced from this pairing showed any visible Lp at birth. Considering the foals previously produced by the mare, it seems safe to conclude that the stallion was completely devoid of pattern genes.

Pairing 12
Stallion 4 x Mare 3

Stallion	Mare
Belgian Mealy Bay No visible tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp

Foals

Conclusions
Of the three foals produced from this pairing, only showed visible Lp at birth and its coverage was consistent with the dam's. Considering the foals previously produced by the mare, and the stallion's foals from other mares, it seems safe to conclude that the stallion was completely devoid of pattern genes.

Pairing 13
Stallion 5 x Mare 3

Stallion	Mare
North African Barb Black Tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp

Foals

Conclusions
Three of the five foals produced by this pairing showed no Lp at birth. Of the other two, the first showed Lp consistent with the dam's coverage while the second showed reduced coverage.

Pairing 14
Stallion 5 x Mare 9

Stallion	Mare
North African Barb Black Tobiano	Shetland Mealy Chestnut Roan Homozygous Lp, Tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Of the five foals produced from this pairing, only one showed visible Lp at birth. The coverage on this foal was markedly reduced from the mare's coverage. Considering the foals that this stallion has produced with other mares it seems safe to conclude that he carries no pattern extension genes.

Pairing 15
Stallion 6 x Mare 5

Stallion	Mare
Shetland Mealy Flaxen Chestnut Roan Homozygous Lp, Tobiano	Caspian Black No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
All five foals from this pairing showed visible Lp at birth. One foal showed no extension, one foal showed slight extension, and three foals showed marked extension. All foals were red-based. It appears safe to conclude that this mare carries significant extension genes on red bases, though her effect on black bases is currently unknown.

Pairing 16
Stallion 6 x Mare 7

Stallion	Mare
Shetland Mealy Flaxen Chestnut Roan Homozygous Lp, Tobiano	Arabian Black No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Of the five foals produced in this pairing only three showed visible Lp at birth. All three of these foals were red-based while the two that did not show Lp were black based. Of the Lp foals, two showed slight extension of the white pattern in the direction of the tail. While it is difficult to draw conclusions from this pairing it appears as though the mare may have carried some very mild extension genes.
