Spotted Fields Forever - AC LP Experiments || WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY

[Knabstrupper]

Pairing 27
Stallion 9 x Mare 11

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Turkmene Black Minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Only one foal of this pairing showed visible Lp at birth, though that one foal did show a decent amount of pattern extension.

Pairing 28
Stallion 9 x Mare 12

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Przewalski Horse Bay Dun No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Two foals of this pairing showed visible Lp, but neither showed extension. Considering the foals thrown by this stallion and mare in other pairings it appears safe to conclude that this mare carries no genes for pattern extension.

Pairing 29
Stallion 9 x Mare 13

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Belgian Black Minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Three foals from this pairing showed Lp with two of those having extension. It seems that this mare may carry a decent amount of extension genes.

Pairing 30
Stallion 9 x Mare 15

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Forest Horse Brown Minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Three foals from this pairing showed extension with two of those having extension. It seems that this mare may carry a decent amount of extension genes. Also of note, she appears to carry the gene for displaying spots of two different sizes.

Pairing 31
Stallion 10 x Mare 5

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Caspian Black No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
This group of foals was a rather mixed bag with three showing no visible Lp and two that appeared to show extension, but could simply have been a differently arranged expression of the father's extension. This makes it difficult to draw any conclusions from this pair.

Pairing 32
Stallion 10 x Mare 16

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, no tobiano	Caspian Grulla No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
All five foals from this pair showed nearly identical Lp coverage. It is difficult to conclude what this means for the mare's gene content.

Pairing 33
Stallion 11 x Mare 9

Stallion	Mare
Caspian Black No tobiano	Shetland Mealy chestnut roan Some tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
All five foals from this pair were red-based. One showed coverage consistent with the dam while two showed reduced coverage.

[Knabstrupper]

Pairing 34
Stallion 11 x Mare 14

Stallion	Mare
Caspian Black No tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, Minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
All five foals from this pair showed identical Lp expressions. This expression appears slightly reduced from the dam, though that may be due to difference in zygosity rather than extension genes. Considering these foals and the foals from the stallion's previous pairing it appears that he cares very few, if any, pattern extension genes.

Pairing 35
Stallion 12 x Mare 17

Stallion	Mare
North African Barb Smoky Grullo Roan No tobiano	Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, Minimal tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Three of the five foals showed Lp, two showing similar coverage to the dam and one showing slightly increased coverage.

Pairing 36
Stallion 10 x Mare 7

Stallion	Mare
Tarpan Bay Dun Homozygous Lp, No tobiano	Arabian Black No tobiano

Foals

Conclusions
Only two of five foals showed Lp and coverage was consistent with the sire. Considering the mare's previous foals it appears safe to assume that she cares few to no pattern genes.
