Not that I know anything about genetics but isn't there a gene or something that makes a horse skewbald/coloured or Appaloosa even though their coat is a solid colour?
As I say, I could be wrong but I'm sure I heard something like that.
Appaloosa's can be solid coloured, if both their parents are registered with the breed society. Mine appears to be solid coloured, but has had varnish marks from the beginning and as she gets older is roaning out.
No idea but I was told that if a horse/pony has white extending above the knee/hocks..be stockings etc then it is classed as a coloured ....duno if thats correct

That is what I was told. (unsure of the exact measurement) I was also told if they had a patch of white extending more than say 6inchs it is classed as a coloured.
