Here are some 2G that came out of my pasture. All of them are by one of two Diamond Age rank special stallions and out of various rank special mares. Most, if not all are color tested, and I think all stallions are papered.

Here are some of my foundation and 2G mares I have for sale right now. Most are breeding age, but I believe all have already been bred this season. Not all are color tested, but there is one very nice leopard in this bunch.

So you want any appaloosa or do you want specifically leopards? TRPM1 is any appaloosa even characteristic only solids.

I'd suggest looking for horses that have a copy of the patterning gene (PATN1). It controls how large the spotted area of the horse is (white if homozygous Lp). It's not foolproof, but usually a horse without PATN has a small to nonexistent blanket, a horse with one copy (heterozygous or het for short) has a medium to large blanket, and a horse with two copies (homozygous) is a full leopard. Sometimes one copy of PATN looks like a leopard, sometimes it's just a small blanket, but if you buy appys with two copies they'll always throw loud Appaloosas.

Keep in mind that the color testing only shows PATN if the horse also carries Lp, and that the horse has to carry Lp to look like an Appaloosa.


Celebrate is homozygous for both Lp and PATN, so she's almost entirely white. This is often called a "few spot."

Galilei is heterozygous for PATN but homozygous for Lp, so he has a large blanket with no spots.

Tolkein and Star are homozygous Lp but doesn't carry PATN, so they have a much smaller blanket. Between the two you can see how wide the size variance is.

This mare is het Lp but homozygous PATN, so she is a full leopard.

This boy is het for both Lp and PATN, so he has a larger blanket and spots.

This mare is also het for both, but ended up with a much smaller blanket.

Same as the last two, but this girl's blanket is so large she looks like a leopard. There are exceptions to every rule!

This mare doesn't carry PATN at all (varnish), but you can see the moteled skin and striped hooves from Lp.

If you ignore white 10, this mare is a solid appy. She has stripes on her hooves and would have mottled skin in areas that aren't white, which gives away the presence of Lp. Notice there is no roaming or ticking of solid areas like in the varnish mare above.

I hope that's more helpful than it is confusing!
