hi my name is tonya i have a 5 yr old paint gelding named raider he's not regstered i 'd like to though. i dont know anything about him before he came to me but he's awsome i am so blessed

I am biochemist and a horse enthusiast who tracks down genes responsible for disorders in mammals. I recently became interested in a genetic-based disorder in horses that I would like to identify the cause. Horses that are hearing-impaired rarely have difficulty adjusting to their condition, but their owners can provide a different training mode if they are aware of the impairment. I would like to get this genetic study off the ground and would need only saliva (cheek cell swab) and hair samples (with roots) from horses, so it is minimally invasive, basically painless and should not spook the horse. (Although, I know what it’s like to worm horses!)

The ultimate goal of this project, as with most mammal studies, is two-fold. First and for most, the goal is to understand the disorder more thoroughly to help the animal, to help the breed and help the owners become an advocate for their animals. A second goal, though, is to understand the disorder so that we can understand the genetic disorder in humans. I should also say that if the gene is identified, the information from this study can be translated directly to the human disorder.

I should emphasize that this work does not translate to ‘making the best horse ever.” I am not interested in that at all. Unfortunately, some think this is a good way to make a profit and I’ve seen companies that will clone your horse for you. I am a scientist and my goal is to understand the biochemistry and to prevent disease.

The affected breed appears to be Paints, but more specifically, Tobiano, Overo, Splash and Tovero. But, I’m not limiting my study to just that breed. I need all breeds so that I have an appropriate control group (unaffected Paints and unaffected breeds.) In addition, a pedigree is important, but not necessary. If you have a family of horses, (including dams, sires and offspring) this project would greatly benefit from having a large family, but that is not essential either. If you have a hearing-impaired horse (or if you think you do), I really would like for you to participate!

It is important to me to follow the ethical guidelines of Equestrian Life and scientific ethical guidelines. Thus, if you are interested in participating, I will send you all the material you need in addition to a disclaimer form indicating the exact details of this genetic study. If at any time you need to or want to withdraw your samples from the study, just let me know. I do not publish the names of the horses, nor identify which horses are participating in the study. Simply put, the sample will be given a number and the number becomes the “name” throughout the study and in any publication.

At this time, I can not offer any compensation, except for satisfaction you would gain if you did participate. If anyone in this group would like to participate in this genetic study, please contact me at kholland@gettysburg.edu directly and I will mail a package of information to you.

Finally, if there are other genetic studies that you think should be pursued, by all means let me know and I will do my best and do a background search to see where the horse-research world is regarding that study!

I can answer any questions you may have, just email me. Sincerely, Koren Deckman

I have a 7 year old paint gelding. He is our of Will Spot Ya. He has some nice horses out there.

I'm new! I have a paint mare with the Poco Lena line on her dam's side!

My husband and I have two paints. One is a sorrow and white tobiano gelding, not registered, but sired by Apache's Thunderbird, dam is unknown. The other is a bay and white Tob-Overo mare sired by Splash You Bet out of My Spanish Ann with a Pudden Head Wimpy bloodline on the Dam's side. My husband and I love paints but at this time we don't show, only trail ride and enjoy the heck out of owning horses.

Hi, I'm a new member - live in Bartlesville, OK. I have 2 Missouri Foxtrotter paints. Chief my 3 year old black and white, and my 5 month old stud colt Prince Palomino/white.

Chief I just started riding and working with my 5 month old on ground manners and not biting!!!
