Understanding sa2/sa2

Understanding sa2/sa2

Sabino 2 is a theoretical sabino pattern, based on one theory of Clydesdale sabino markings. Ingame, it is a double recessive, like chestnut and flaxen are - you need both copies in order for it to show.

• How to know if your horse has sa2/sa2 -
  
  • Your horse is Sabino patterned, but does not have Sa1. (the only confirmed way to know)
    For example - This filly has 2 solid parents, and tests negative for Sa1. This means both parents have Sa2/sa2 and she has sa2/sa2.
    
  • Pintaloosa without having Sa1, Spl, To or Ov. (theoretical)
    The only way to know if your horse does not have Splashed is if neither parent could possibly have it. Perhaps a Tobiano x Leopard had a foal that is a Pintaloosa but tests negative for To.
    
  • Overo or Tovero with only one of the other pinto patterns. (theoretical)
    Like the pintaloosa example above. If you have a foal that is an Tovero, but a parent is solid and the other is Tobiano.
    
  
  
• How to know if your horse has Sa2/sa2 -
  
  • If you have a foal that is Sabino but tests negative for Sa1 - then both parents are carriers of sa2
    
  • This mare is a sa2 carrier - somehorsegame.com/horseinfo.php?horseid=945
    
  • This mare is also a sa2 carrier - somehorsegame.com/horseinfo.php?horseid=25289
    (Unless Grey 'hides' the Sabino2 pattern? Then its possible both mares are sa2/sa2..)

I believe I have confirmation that sa2/sa2 plus anouther pinto pattern makes Overo.
Splashed White + sa2/sa2 = somehorsegame.com/horseinfo.php?horseid=50944
Sabino 1 + sa2/sa2 = somehorsegame.com/horseinfo.php?horseid=50851
