Courtney's Island Dove is one of the 1/4 Arabian mares in the current herd. Her dam was the chestnut tobiano half Arabian Courtney's Boy and her dam was the black tobiano Salt and Pepper. She hasn't had any foals kept for the herd.
https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/arabian.html She's a chestnut and 7 of her foals have been chestnut too. She's had two bays and a buckskin, but those were also the color of the sires so there's not a way to tell if she carries agouti or how many copies. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/chestnut.html Courtney's Island Dove is a very flashy tobiano pinto. She's had several non pinto foals so that tells us that she only has one copy of tobiano. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/tobiano.html She has some roaning to her coat. That's tobiano roaning and it's thought to be something that tobiano does sometimes, rather than a separate inheritance. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/roaning.html Her solid bay daughter with Ajax, Assateague's Spirited Lady, has been color tested and she has the white patterns White 34, White 35, Eden White 2, and Eden White 3. It's highly likely that some of those were inherited from Courtney's Island Dove. The amount of white she has plus the jagged look to her pinto markings are an indication that she has something other than tobiano. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/white34.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/white35.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/eden-white.html
