 The "Sabino 1" allele is not linked to any health defects, though sabino-whites may need some protection from sunburn.Horses with only one copy of the Sabino1 gene usually have dramatic spotting, including two or more white legs, often with white running up the front of the leg, extensive white on the face, spotting on the midsection, and jagged or roaned margins to the pattern.The leopard complex, related to the "Leopard" ("LP") gene, characterizes the Appaloosa and Knabstrupper breeds with their spotted coats.
