I am in the process of writing an article for The Rainbow Morgan Horse
Assoc. on odd markings in Morgans. While the sabino gene does exist in
Morgans, I had not seen a blue eyed sabino Morgan until this past
weekend. He is a colt born this year to a mare I used to own. He has
two hind socks (one with the characteristic sabino 'point' at the
front), a big blaze, a right eye that is strikingly blue, and a left
eye with a blue 'feather' in the corner. The blaze does not touch his
eyes. How common in this, Paint folks? I thought it was fairly rare
for a horse to have blue eyes unless the facial white extended over
the eyes, although Sponenberg does have a photo of a bay Clydesdale
with a blue eye whose facial white doesn't touch the eyes. Any info or
web sources y'all can give me would be MUCH appreciated!
