BCA Zamos Red Deer
Out of GW Cheveyos Sunspot and by Poplars Zamocha. Red Deer does not have PATN1, but with a 50% white blanket, he displays evidence that there is a white marker or markers as yet undifferentiated and testable that could be as strong as PATN1. The geneticists at UC Davis suggest that there could be several genetic contributions to Red Deer’s whiteness. Red Deer also carries DMRT3, the gaitedness gene.

Pedigree
Poplars Zamocha is a 2013 all black GAP6 Appaloosa stallion. His pedigree is so extensive it fills a 3-ring binder. He is lp/lp. For those unfamiliar with appaloosa genetics, the mutation that causes spots is incompletely dominant. A simple example would be a cross between two spotted appaloosas, whose genotypes would be written LP/lp and LP/lp. Lower case lp indicates recessive genes. The resulting offspring would have a 50-50 chance of being spotted like its parents, LP/lp. It would also have a 25% chance to be LP/LP with two dominant copies which suppresses the spots. In one instance out of four, the foal would be lp/lp, non-characteristic and solid in color yet still Appaloosa. Such a horse is Poplars Zamocha, a genetic treasure and when bred to mares LP/LP, the results should be spots all the time.
