In hoeverre zijn de paarden die sigrid1182 als silver(dapple) noemt daadwerkelijk getest op de aanwezigheid van deze modefier ??
Citaat:Genetic Information
The Silver Dapple color is caused by a dominant gene present at the Silver Dapple locus which has been given the label Z. This gene is unique because it only acts upon black pigment and leaves red pigment unchanged. Or in other words Black and Bay horses will be physically changed by this gene but Chestnut horses will not. Chestnut based horses do not have black areas so the Silver gene has no effect on them. This allows the gene to be carried with no physical evidence.
The Silver gene is consistent in that even if it is not very prominent it betrays it existence on horses with black pigment or points. It is also noticeable that the manes of Silver horses were black before being diluted by the silver gene.
