Wild Mustangs
The first “tobiano” was said to have been brought over to the New World from Spain in 1519 by an explorer named Hernando Cortes. According to history they were in fact among some horses brought over to carry Cortes’s men and later breed with American wild mustangs, which did indeed produce the foundation Paints of today. It wasn’t until 1962 that the first tobiano paint was recorded as registered here in the United States.
A horse is considered heterozygous if he carries one tobiano gene, and is a homozygous if he carries two. In the case of the heterozgous (meaning single) is exactly that a gene inherited from a single tobiano parent, to carry this gene it will be a visually seen pattern. A horse with homozygous (meaning two) does in fact come from both parents being tobiano, making this horse when breed to a solid horse always yield 100% visual tobiano’s but now off spring will carry the heterozygous gene. These when bred to a solid now will not yield all tobiano’s but 50% only and the other half will be solid. It takes two heterozygous tobiano’s or a heterozygous and a homozygous to produce another homozygous. You can not get a homozygous from one solid parent breed to either a heterozygous or homozygous. Just when you think you have the genetics mastered we must through in the fact that two heterozygous parents can produce approximately 25% solid colored off spring.
Of course there is always that exception of the minimal white tobiano meaning that although they don’t look to be tobiano they do indeed carry the gene and can pass it on to offspring.
So now how will you know if you might have a homozygous tobiano paint? Well, the best way is a test offered by the University of California at Davis, they also have the forms needed for this test found here on their website: http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu.
Tobiano is a dominate gene that does not skip a generation, every tobiano has at least one tobiano parent.
Working with horses and genetics has always been a passion of mine. Nothing better than riding a good horse on a beautiful day. Please visit http://www.t-dcajunbarhorses.com
