Sabino horse

As Sabino Overo or Sabino is referred to only as horses with a typical Scheckungsmuster.

Appearance

Horses that are genetically Sabinos, usually have a very wide blaze and other large facial markings. The other Sabinomerkmale do not occur in any Sabino. Gene carriers must have no noticeable markings themselves. Often only Stichelhaarigkeit catches your eye or even a few white hairs on the tail head. In the next generation, when the gene was passed, again a noticeable markings to be visible.

Additional Sabinomerkmale, but they are consistently absent in all Sabinos:

  • White spots on chin, lower or upper lip, to all white lips or mouth into a flour. If the white can continue to expand here a lantern arise, which is expanded below. You can look the same as when Splashed White Overo
  • White markings on the legs. They usually reach at least to the knees and hocks. They often end in a point or sometimes dissolve into small white dots on.
  • Many small round white spots on the abdomen, which usually converge to form larger spots and then form a frayed acting larger spot
  • White patches on the throat or in the jowls ( jaw )
  • White Stichelhaare, especially at the borders of white spots ( " shaded " badge) and in the lower abdominal area and often the whole body. Also particularly affecting tail and mane roof. Sometimes Sabino - foxes can be confused with foxes with Flaxen. Sometimes they look almost like stitchhaired horses, except that the head and the legs are not darker than the body, but have just as many Stichelhaare and also have pronounced white markings.

In homozygous form the horses are almost completely white and only on the center back and around the ears is still color to be seen.

Genetics

There is a genetic test for Sabino, which proves that the inheritance is intermediate. There are a number of different Sabino genes, most of which are not yet known, as there are piebald horses (eg, Arabian, warm-blooded), which are phenotypically Sabinos, but do not strike on the test. A Sabinogen has been clearly demonstrated. It's called Sabino 1 and located on the kit locus. It is thus a form of leucism. The inheritance is intermediate. Heterozygous animals have the typical Sabinozeichnung homozygous are almost white. 2 5

Health

Some Sabinos are deaf. 1

Breeds

Sabinos come in many breeds, among others in Paint Horses, Tennessee Walking Horses and English Thoroughbreds. If, pied foals are born in breeds where this is not desired, it is often to Sabinos. 1 5

Clydesdales are usually Sabinos in which the gene by distinct badges in the face and legs manifests from 2 3 4 Even with Shires one always sees a typical Sabinoscheckung.

The Clydesdale breed large white markings on the face are desirable and on the legs, but no white spots on the body and no white Stichelhaare. By mating horses with four white legs with horses with a dark leg, it is usually possible to achieve, that the resulting foal meet this breeding goal. 4
