We are taking a summer break from December 21 to January. You can still place orders now and while we are on break. If we we receive but don't finish testing your samples before Christmas they will be at the top of our list when we re-open in January. Samples that arrive during the break will be stored carefully for testing in January.
Thanks for all the testing you've sent us this year, and have a wonderful summer!
Patterns panel
Summary
The patterns panel includes all of the most common coat pattern genes. These are frame overo, grey, Lp, PATN1, the roan maker, sabino 1, splashed white 1, tobiano and W20.
There are several pattern tests that we do not include in this panel. Each of these tests looks for a pattern that is only present in one family of horses. These are SW2, SW3, W13, W25, W26, and W27. You are welcome to add any of these as extras on top of this panel. Feel free to get in touch to discuss whether any of these tests are appropriate for your horse.
