The Lone Bashkir Curly horse is a very unique and set apart breed. They are well known for their curly coats, caused by many gene mutations, and their versatility. Lone Curly Horses are often found as chestnut, but have a wide variety of colors, some more rare than others. They range in a height of 13-16 hands, but are often found between 14-15 hands. These horses are found wild in Nevada, USA. Although they are wild, they are also known for their calm and gentle nature. Lone Bashkir Curly Horses got their name due to them not staying in herds with other horses, like most do. Since they are always separated, they often wonder far into owned land and cause disruptions. They have very much grown in population, and many problems have arose, therefore creating the LBC Organization. The LBC Organization is running a rehoming program to protect these horse's while still preserving them. If you're interested, keep an eye out as many are posted for rehoming daily.

For this unique mare, show me a picture of a horse with an unusual color or pattern, and tell me a fun or interesting fact about that pattern/color!

Prompt: Macchiato is a unique gene mutation that has only been seen on a single stallion! He had a dilued (bay) base coat, unusual splash markings, blue eyes, and was completely deaf. He was unable to produce foals, and there hasn't been another macchiato horse since! Both his sire and dam were normal bays, and colors like this hadn't been seen in his breed before. He's just a neat quirk of nature!

Prompt: A little about the beautiful cremello color: cremellos occur when a red-colored horse encounters two cream genes. They are similar to perlinos, but perlinos have darker manes and tails. Both coat colors require two cream genes, but perlinos have a bay base color rather than chestnut. The cremello horse has a solid cream-colored coat, in addition to a white mane and tail. It has pink skin, blue eyes, and a pink nose. x

Brindle
Credit
Fact - Information collected since 1990 on Brindle horses is now shedding some light on the Brindle pattern. It now appears there may be two ways in which a Brindle phenotype (outward appearance) can occur. In some horses, the pattern has not been inheritable, pointing to a possible mosaic or chimeric origin, such as seen in tortoiseshell cats. In other horses, the pattern has been shown to be inheritable.

Prompt: Naked Foal Syndrome Source
Naked Foal Syndrome (NFS) is a bizarre genetic issue that occurs only in Akhal-Teke horses. The NFS gene is a monogenic autosomal recessive trait, so a foal must inherit two NFS genes in order to display NPS. In 2017, scientists identified that a nonsense variant of the ST14 gene on chromosome 7 of the Akhal-Teke genome was responsible for the NFS trait being displayed. The nonsense variant is the result of a base switch on the gene from a guanine (G) to a thymine (T) base. This base switch leaves >80% of the ST14 gene untranscribable, essentially making it a nonfunctional gene. Because of this nonsense variant, NFS foals are unable to develop hair follicles, one of the functions of ST14. Sadly, most NPS foals only live a short while, usually less than 2 years.

Prompt: credit
When a horse has a brindle coat it is usually attributed to spontaneous chimerism, which means it has two sets of dna. It is not inheritable and is very rare in horse coats, though it can appear with any base color. The stripes are always vertical, and do not extend further than the neck and upper legs.

These were all very interesting! I'm going to go with this one, such a strange occurrence and cool result! Congrats!

Thank you so much! Her halter turned out just darling too! <3
