As some of you already know researchers at UC Davis have a Splash white test available that can identify 3 seperate mutations of Splash White, SW1, SW2 and SW3. My mare in my Avatar and my signiture is a Barlink Macho man bred mare who I had tested and she has one copy of the SW1mutation SW1/N, she is LWO N/N. Anyway getting to the point Here is the article. Seems that PAX3 (SW2) has only been around since 1987, that is the year Gatie Gun was foaled.

Gambling Man is one of the most renowned splash white Paints in the history of the breed. I just looked at his pedigree and, as posted on this site, there is not a horse in it that is right. I'm constantly amazed at the way people make up pedigrees.

Oh my word, I looked, that drives me bonkers, I know Gambling Man was as a cropout by Sutter's berseem but can't remember the name of his Dam. You can fix it can't you Frank? Gambling Man is one of my all time favorites.

I don't know why people have to mess with things, someone had also deleted the picture of Hot Scotch Man also in my mare's pedigree so I emailed the people who had owned him and asked if they knew why his picture was gone and they had no idea. I offered to replace it for her, and she emailed his photo for me to do so. Makes me wish that you had to have a membership to change pedigree's as well as some of the more advanced options. Maybe that would help at least.

I was hoping you would read the article Frank, I would love to hear your thoughts on it. It seems to me that a common denominator in a lot of the Splash horses is they have Leo somewhere in their pedigree. I called to talk to Kay Simmilink (super nice lady) and although she knew nothing about the Splash White testing, one of the things she told me is that they used a lot of Leo in their breeding program.
I also noticed Katie Gun has Leo in her pedigree. Although is seems the Splash white 2 mutation was a new mutation starting with her, I still find it interesting that Leo is back there.

EDIT: I remembered the Dam so I fixed Gambling Man...

Nevada Queen and the dam of Miss Lucky Mount both have lots of Coke Roberds breeding, which can frequently produce a lot of white. Miss Lucky Mount goes back to Gold Mount, the sire of Maddon's Bright Eyes who had blue eyes and came from Coke Roberds breeding on her dam's side, too. MBE's dam, Plaudette, was a pintaloosa by the Roberds' sire, King Plaudit (TB), also found in Gambling Man's pedigree.
