Genetic analysis of white facial and leg markings in the Swiss Franches-Montagnes Horse Breed.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

White markings and spotting patterns in animal species are thought to be a result of the domestication process. They often serve for the identification of individuals but sometimes are accompanied by complex pathological syndromes. In the Swiss Franches-Montagnes horse population, white markings increased vastly in size and occurrence during the past 30 years, although the breeding goal demands a horse with as...
