Tested Pony: Riptide's As You Wish

Riptide's As You Wish, known as Wesley, is a 2020 gelding. He's by Surfer's Riptide and out of the late Thetis. Thanks to Lori for his test results and this picture! His test results weren't a surprise, but it's always great to see results. Wesley genetic makeup: e/e, a/a, nd1/nd1, SW1/n.

Wesley is a chestnut which was the only color he could be since both of his parents are chestnut. Two chestnuts can't have anything but a chestnut.

He tested as a/a which means he doesn't have the bay causing agouti. Agouti doesn't visually show up on a chestnut because it only affects black. I'm pretty positive his sire is a/a too based on test results like this and his offspring.

Wesley has two copies of the primitive marking causing nd1. Primitive markings are like dorsal stripes and leg barring. His sire has a pretty obvious dorsal stripe (likely enhanced by sooty) so not surprised by this test result.

Both of his parents have Splashed White 1 as proven by their offspring. One of Wesley's 3/4 siblings Surfer's Rouge Wave is a homozygous "classic" splash. Wesley's test showed he has one copy of SW1/n. His white markings are pretty typical for heterozygous SW1.

Wesley is a flaxen chestnut like his sire and his sire's family. We know flaxen is genetic in some way but it hasn't been figured out yet. I definitely think it will be in the near future.

He has some birdcatcher spots and his dam did too. They were extensive on her face. The spots themselves aren't genetic but the reaction that causes them is. They are the result of an autoimmune response, often from bug bites. So Wesley inherited the autoimmune reaction from his dam. Birdcatcher spots can appear and disappear while others show up and stay throughout a pony's life.
