      oh, forgot, her name is Bella, or wedding bells

Posted By: joanne mckean



      we have a tennessee walker foxtrotter mix that is all white. She proved homozygous sabino and negative for lethal gene. To think, three weeks before she was born, we didn't know the mother was pregnant when we bought her. Her half aunt was a white also. She is so cute. She popped up on my daughters wedding day. Now joke abo;ut it because bella got more attention than my daughter did on her wedding day. We had never known that a white horse like her could exist. We have pictures of her on 9 26 09 equusite.com's picture contest.

      I am purchasing an Extreme Sabanio White Horse. She is White with a few light colored hairs on her ears. She has two light blue eyes. Is there any special care I need to take regarding sunlight (besides a face mask) due to her pink skin?

      I own a "true" white horse-he is a Sabino that had NO color marks or hair other than white/with pink skin and he has dark midnight blue eyes that look black as the night. He throws uniquely colored pintos. He tested negative for lethal white, he is able to dominate his white gene with chestnut or bay mares and can throw another white like himself though that is one chance in more than 100,000 thousand foals...and can happen to solid color parents. Lethal white is NOT just in white horses-that mutation can be found in nearly every breed of horse due to in breeding. There MUST be lethal white gene in BOTH Sire and Dam to produce a lethal white foal. Certain colors are more likely to carry the gene and when bred together, produce the foal with that trait. Some mares will abort such a foal before their owner even knows she is expecting, she will then be rebred and that foal may go full term and not be lethal white. My stallion was researched, he is one of just 4 known in the US, the only spotless one. Owner of Artic Foxx. Wanda

      The reason that there aren't true white horses is because of the lethal white gene, which you failed to mention.

      There is a true white stallion named Artic Foxx, owned by Lucky "B" Arabians in California. He is sired by a chestnut/flaxen Arabian stallion and out of a blue roan sabino Tennessee Walker mare. Neither parent of Artic Foxx is white. Foxx has been tested negative for lethal white and is a dominate white. He is currently having his foals studied at the University of Kentucky. Check it out for your self!
