Tested Pony: Wave Runner's Artistic Expression

The previous two featured tested ponies are the parents of this flashy 2023 filly. This is Wave Runner's Artistic Expression, nicknamed Sue. She was born at Wave Runner Chincoteague Ponies in Ohio and is now owned by Chincoteague Ponies at Hart’s Island Pony Ranch in Minnesota. You can follow Sue on her own facebook page Wave Runner’s Artistic Expression - Chincoteague Pony. She hadn't been at her new home long when I met her and she's grown up quite a bit!

Sue is very flashy and has much more white than her parents. This is because she has two copies of Splashed White 1 or as her test showed SW1/SW1. Both of her parents have SW1 and both of them passed it on to her. Statistically that will happen 25% of the time. Because she has two copies Sue will pass on splashed white to all her foals. She's pretty typical looking of a homozygous splashed white 1. It has a distinctive look and is very different looking from tobiano. Homozgyous splashed whites have 2 blue eyes like she does. Sue has a 3/4 sister Shenandoah Shamal who is also homozygous splashed white.
She tested as e/e since she's a chestnut. Because both of Sue's parents are chestnut she couldn't be anything but a chestnut. Sue's sire Phantom doesn't carry agouti and her dam Kenzie has two copies so predictably Sue tested as having one copy or A/a.
