I will really be looking forward to updates - with pictures! - of their progress.<br /><br />I hadn't heard about lethal white syndrome in Mustangs. These horses are Cremello rather than white. <br /><br />Are Cremellos carriers in Mustangs? I bring this up because my palomino Morgan's sire is a homozygous Cremello Morgan. Very rare in the Morgan breed, but not carriers of any genetic defects.MorganLvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021821392458127270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707494144092955232.post-8135252441661769532010-05-20T12:53:20.255-07:002010-05-20T12:53:20.255-07:00It's great that you can help these little guys...It's great that you can help these little guys in their time of need.

Have a large band on my ranch in Nevada. These cremello colts, blue eyes/pink flesh surrounding their eyes...all indicators of lethal white syndrome, and all to common in wild horse herds, i.e. line breeding way to close!<br /><br />This is an example where effective management could prevent or lessen the likelihood of this type of genetic defect. This is a subject we all need to consider. The BLM is not doing an effective job, but once the BLM is out of the picture we have to find a means of managing which is.<br /><br />The absence or near absence of predators that in times past thinned the horse herds is part of the problem. In the absence of predation we need to contemplate how genetic anomalies like this can be lessened!<br /><br />It's a difficult subject, no matter how difficult we need to find a solution. It is good the ground swell of support for the wild horse herds is growing. However the majority of these folks are not horsemen, veterinary professionals, reserchers in veterinary science & equine genetics....etc. to find answers.<br /><br />Scott CooperUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631320170541651105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707494144092955232.post-71650631754845971782010-05-18T20:29:29.319-07:002010-05-18T20:29:29.319-07:00BEAUTIFUL HORSES!
