Minimally-expressed, the sabino pattern manifests itself in the form of white markings on the head and legs on an otherwise solid-colored horse. Sabinos are often confused with solid horses that have usual white markings. The sabinos are different in that their white marekings tend to have narrow, pointed extentions up the legs or down the throat. Minimally-marked red roan sabinos are often confused with classic roan horses, with the only difference being the sabino's extended leg and face markings. Sabinos are interesting for several reasons, not the least of which is the subtle and fascinating array of variants that the pattern can take. Sabinos range from quite solid, to very roaned or speckled, to very patched, and everything in between. Nearly all sabinos have white legs, a great deal of white on the head and white areas on the belly. These characteristics help seperate the sabinos from the more familiar tobianos and frame overos. Tobiano and frame overo are both caused by single genes. Horses either have the gene and are spotted, or don't have the gene and therefore lack the pattern. The only exception to the passage of these genes is the homozygous tobiano horse, which trasmits the tobiano gene to all its offspring. The sabino production records that have recently been made available now strongly suggest that the pattern is polygenic. This means that it comes about as the result of the action of several different genes, each of which make a small contribution to the overall pattern. Minimally-white sabinos simply have fewer of these genes than do maximally-white sabinos. The sabino pattern, whith all its variants, and obvious propensity to throw back to the patterns of previous generations, offers on the the most exciting and potentially rewarding tools to ever be placed at the disposal of the serious Paint breeder.

	Impressum Lil APHA #764940 14.3 Hands 2003 APHA Red Roan Overo Mare "Lilly" has been with the same owner/trainer since she was three months old. She was shown in Western Pleasure as a three year old and got high point color horse at the Missoula Open Horse Show series. She also received first under both judges in Junior Horse Western Pleasure at the Paint Show held at the Sapphire Event Center in Corvallis, Montana in her three year old year. She is an excellent pattern horse and usually gets firsts and sometimes second in Horsemanship classes at the local shows. Lilly was started in Reining in her four year old year and showed at the Northern Rockies Reining Horse Show held at the Sapphire Event Center and is now a money earner. She does beautiful, effortless flying lead changes, nice turn-arounds with good reach, picks up speed quickly in her fast circles and then comes back righ away to a very slow western pleasure lope for the slow small circles. She can also get her butt in the ground and doing great slides. The trainer has ridden her down the road and through some fields around her house just by herself and she has done great. She also said that you cannot tell when she is in season and she has no bad habits. Look below for more information on her sabino coat pattern. $8,500
