A Horse of a Different Color: Rare Equine Coats Reverse or White Brindle 7/?

Most brindle horses have dark stripes on a lighter body color, but a rare few have white stripes on a dark body color. While it is possible that white brindles are chimeric (and certainly some may be), the current thought is that the color is probably the result of a one-time mutation, probably of rabicano. Simply put, that means that the white brindling color is unlikely to be passed on to a horse’s offspring, but the mutation may manifest in a different form resulting in unique offspring. In the case of Catch A Bird (picturedssecond down), he sired four phenotypically roan foals. That is significant because true roan was not present in the TB population until that point. To the best of my knowledge, CAB’s foals have never been genetically tested, but his roan daughter Slip Catch has produced two roan daughters herself. Given that most horse colors are thousands of years old, new mutations like this are exceedingly rare.
