Since the discovery of LP - the main gene that controls appaloosa spotting patterns and associated traits - breeders have been anticipating DNA tests for the genes that work with LP to produce white appaloosa patterning.
Thanks to the outstanding work by the Appaloosa Project and UC Davis, the white pattern modifier gene with the largest pattern causing effect, termed Pattern-1 for “first pattern gene” or PATN1 for short, can now be DNA tested for.
A very happy new year to everyone!

We're so pleased to introduce a new member of the Sportaloosa team - Chelsea Johnson is now our official Sportaloosa correspondent.
You may know Chelsea's name from a couple of super articles in the most recent Sportaloosa magazine and if you've attended Equitana the last couple of years you'll have met her as one of our promotion team.
Chelsea owns and rides Sportaloosas and her favourite disciplines are dressage, showjumping and eventing but she loves anything involving horses. When she finishes school she plans to study the diploma in equine science and compete at a level at which she can represent Australia.
She's taken on the role of writing articles in the Sportaloosa magazine as a good way to learn more about horses and meet new people that have the same passion and interest as she does.
Please join us at sportaloosa.com on Sunday 26th January, when the 2013 high point award winners will be announced.
See you here as we celebrate with our winners!
Important the closing date for results to be received is 14th January.
