Today's model horse is WIA #BE10009, Vincenzo in perlino coloration. WIA is a company from Germany that makes model horses in a somewhat stiffer, more solid material than Schleich or Papo or Safari Ltd. They are roughly the size of a Schleich horse, possibly a little smaller (though the company does make larger porcelain editions), and tend more toward a realistic portrayal. There are a few retailers that carry them, and you can also find them on ebay.

I've wanted a model horse in the bowing position for a long time, so when I found out about Vincenzo, I was delighted. Though produced by WIA, this is a smaller version of a sculpture by Brigitte Eberl, and she does great work (she also has sculpts by Breyer). Despite its size, this model is highly detailed, both in sculpture and in paint work. It has a nice weight to it, and a nice matte feel.

He came with a little plastic stand to help stabilize him, but honestly, he doesn't need it, as he stands (or bows, I suppose) quite steadily.

WIA doesn't have a large catalogue, and their editions seem to come out slowly (I have no idea what their release schedule is) but I'd love to see more from them.

What’s the longest hypothetical phenotype you can get with a horse? Doesn’t have to be something that’s been done before just how mouthy can we make that name?

(So technically every genotype is the same length. A basic bay horse is E/_ A/_ but you could specify E/_ A/_ nd2/nd2 cr/cr ch/ch z/z g/g etc. It's just not relevant.)

I must warn you that this horse is gonna end up completely white from all the dilutions and white spotting we're gonna stack on top of each other.

I'm making the base colour bay because mushroom doesn't show on black horses and silver doesn't show on chestnuts.

I'm not including traits like sooty and pangaré because we don't really know how they work.

If I'm not mistaken, tobiano, roan and all the dominant white mutations are on the same locus so there can only be two of them on one horse. I chose a tobiano/roan combination because we know this one is viable but it could be any of them.

There are two splashed white genes, so a horse can have 4 splashed white alleles. Some combinations are lethal though so I chose one I've seen on a live horse before but once again it could be any of them.

So ideally it would look something like this:

E/_ A/_ D/_ Cr/prl CH/_ Z/_ mu/mu G/_ TO/Rn O/o SW1/n SW2/n LP/_ PATN1/_

So you meet this horse and you think "hey a white horse. neat!" you have it tested and you find out white is an illusion and it's actually a grey buckskin pearl dun champagne silver mushroom roan tovero splashed white leopard. or something along these lines
