is having a hypp/nn broodmare a horrible thing? COLOR WHEEL WITH PRISM


Dear Prism, I have a chestnut


mare that I’m breeding to a buckskin Appaloosa that throws 100% color/characteristics. What color possibilities are most likely? – Karen, submitted via horsegazette.com


Dear Karen, Well the base color


of the upcoming foal could be a Sorrel/Chestnut, Bay or Black. If the stallion passes his dilute/cream gene the foal could be Palomino, Buckskin or Smokey Black. It also sounds like the foal would be marked like an Appaloosa. - Prism


Dear Prism, I have a sorrel mare


that is a twin. Her twin is a red roan gelding. I breed her


to a gray stud that was born brown. What colors are pos- sible? – Tammy, submitted via horsegazette.com


Dear Tammy, We know that sor-


rel is homozygous for red and recent research in France has acknowledged that “Brown” is a form of Black. That means your foal could be Sorrel, Black, Brown or Bay and there would be a 50% chance of the stallion passing along his gray gene. - Prism


Dear Prism, Do you know what


foal colors to expect if I breed a buckskin mare to a bay stal- lion. The stallions parents were both Grullo. Also, Is having a mare for breeding HYPP/NN


It’s time to advertise your stallion!


a horrible thing or should I stay away from the impressive lines. Thanks, Lazy M Ranch, submitted via horsegazette. com


Dear Lazy M Ranch, There are a number


of variables at play here – if both horses are heterozygous for the black gene (carries one copy) then the foal could be red-based (Sorrel). If one parent is homozygous for the black gene you can rule out red so you’d get a Bay or black. Factor in the dilute/cream gene from the mare and you could get a Palomino, Buckskin or Smokey black. We know the stallion did not inherit the dun gene from either of his parents or he would be a Dun and not a Bay.


And the second part


of your question will open a whole can of worms. So what I’m going to say is my opinion and my opinion only. Impressive bred hors-


es are not a bad thing. They are some of the most athletic horses I’ve ever been around and most of them are flat out beautiful to look at. Impressive is actually one of my favorite bloodlines. HYPP is the “Bad”


thing, not the Impressive blood- lines. I think it is a shame that folks will throw out the baby with the bathwater and declare a whole “family” of horses as bad because of a genetic defect in a few.


HYPP is the genetic


defect and it is not a disease. It prevents sodium (potas- sium) from passing through the


muscle membranes and creates an overload of Potassium in the horse’s body. Too much Potassium causes paralysis of muscles and leads to possible death of the horse. There is no cure for a genetic defect and the best owners can do is treat the symptoms. Horses can not “catch” HYPP they have to be born with it. If breeders would stop (as in QUIT) breeding HYPP positive animals the entire species (equid) could be rid of HYPP in one genera- tion.


But most impor-


tantly a horse that is HYPP N/N does not have HYPP, will never catch HYPP and will never have offspring which are HYPP positive unless you breed to a HYPP positive horse (and then the HYPP will


come from the Positive horse and never from the HYPP N/N horse).


If you like the Im-


pressive bred mare and she brings everything you want to your breeding program then breed her. But don’t be hesitant about breeding an Impressive bred horse which is HYPP N/N because that mare will never pass HYPP to her offspring – she doesn’t carry it. - Prism
