A Splash of Freckles is a 2011 mare by chestnut tobiano North Star and out of bay tobiano 15 Friends of Freckles. If you look at her pedigree yes, North Star is her sire and her dam’s sire. I've said that if you want to know the body type of pony her sire produced to look a her. She has had two daughters kept as buybacks, bay tobiano Good Golly Miss Molly and black tobiano CLG Magic Moment.
A Splash of Freckles likely genetic makeup: E/e, A/a, TO/TO Splash of Freckles is a bay with one copy of agouti and one copy of chestnut. She's produced a couple black foals so she can only have one copy of agouti. Her sire is chestnut and even though she hasn't produced any chestnut foals she has to have one copy of recessive chestnut. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/bay.html She's a very flashy tobiano pinto. Both of her parents and all of her foals have been tobiano pintos. She very likely has two copies of tobiano, aka a homozygous tobiano. Splash of Freckles has a lot of cat tracks and tobiano roaning, both things that are more common on homozygous tobianos. Her name Splash of Freckles is because of all her cat tracks. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/tobiano.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/cattracks.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/roaning.html I think it's possible Splash of Freckles has another white pattern. Her dam has a blue eye and one of her granddaughters does too. I don't have any testing data on her family so I don't know which one it could be. There's quite a few that Chincoteagues have that can cause blue eyes: Splashed White 1, White 34, White 35, Eden White 1, Eden White 2, and Eden White 3. I have hair from a niece I'll eventually test, maybe that will give me a hint! https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/white34.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/white35.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/eden-white.html
