Ik had het niet over meerdere foto's met enige betekkenis van ++++, maar meer dan 1 is nog altijd 'foto's'!
De artikel ik het over had staat niet op het internet, is geschreven door twee EQUINE GENETISTS, dus neem ik aan dat die toch meer weten over paarden genetica dan wie dan ook hier op deze site!
Ik heb referentie naar de artikel terug gevonden met bijhorende commentaar van een Equine Vet en hopelijk kan ik het hier op copieren.

Taking your questions one at a time:
Also with albinism being caused by a recessive gene, what are the chances of that rare recessive gene also being carried by the sire of the foal and enabling it to also be an albino?
You assume that a albino is a "specific genetic trait" when it is not. It actually is a large group of different genetic disorders, not all of which are autosomal recessive (Pigment Cell Res 2000;13 Suppl 8:130-4 Hypopigmentary disorders in humans and oculocutaneous albinism 1 in Japan.). Albinism could also arise as a mutation in an animal that has no parents with albino genes.
Unless someone is a specialist in genetics they don't have the expertise to know as much as a geneticist does, correct?
No, to assume that this person is all knowing about a condition like this is presumptuous. Albinism is not a genetic diagnosis, but a histological one. We were aware of albinism long before we understood the complicated genetics behind this condition. If we assume your belief that Dr Sponenberg's believes that albinism cannot occur in horses is correct, and I don't think this is likely, then we presume that he has examined all the horses in the world or how else can we make this statement? Until he has done that we can only say that he has not seen a case. Dr Sponenberg surely would concede that a albino mutation could arise at any time in any foal.
I thank you for taking an interest in this question and will post your email and my reply in the discussion. Dr Robert N Oglesby DVM
Here is a photo of a mare and foal who equine dermatologist's Reginald Pascoe AM, DVSC, FRVS, FAVSc and Derek Knottenbelt BVM&S, DVM&S, MRCVS say in their 1999 Manual of Equine Dermatology are true albinos:
Albino mare and foal. Both had albinotic retinas and nonpigmented irides. Both lived normal lives.
Foto wordt helaas niet overgenomen ... kan iemand mij hier mee helpen?
Ik heb het van de internet op een word document kunnen copieren maar kom niet verder.

Albino-merrie , met een idem veulen , is dat niet erg raar dan dat die merrie het blijkbaar TOCH doorgeeft
