Traits

(SB_) sabino (Natural)

Category: White Pattern

Name: sabino

Base Genotype: SB_

Skin Color:  Skin becomes pink/mottled to match the mottled white markings. 

Eyes: If a white marking touches an eye, it becomes blue. Heterochromia is common. 

Description: Sabino causes large white patches to appear from the legs of the horse and upwards, just like Splash, except Sabino causes extreme mottling or "frosting" of the white pattern and roaning of the coat. Sabino roaning may cross the back of the horse, but the bulk of the white pattern originates from the legs and belly. Facial markings are usually large and frosted around the edges. Mottling of skin will occur wherever the white frosting turns the skin pink. Keep in mind that if a white patch turns the ears of the horse white, the horse is highly likely if not guaranteed to be deaf! 

Design Guidance: At minimum, sabino can be invisible, or have mottled white leg and face markings.
At maximum, the white covers up to 75% of the horse from the bottom up, with the bulk of the white favoring the legs and belly. Edges of the white pattern are mottled dots or otherwise jagged. Ears are rarely turned white, but it happens (and may cause deafness). The mane and tail will turn white where white patterns touch. Skin becomes light colored where white patterns touch.

Examples of a chestnut sabino with minimal markings, a bay sabino with average markings, and a black sabino with more maximal markings.
