is he a rabicano?

I'd say - due to where the white is placed and how it looks, that it's more likely a sabino thing. But that's just my guess;)

yeah maybe, he just has that smattered patch of white hairs on his belly and the white hairs in his tail, which made me think rabicano

It may of course be rabicano, but since the mare also got a lot of sabino traits (belly spots etc) I'm leaning towards sabino. It could be a combination of both of them as well:)

oh she's definitely got some sabino going on, i can't recall if rabicano and sabino can combine, though i don't see why not

Well, very little is known about rabicano, and the only sabino form known is SB1. There's a whole lot of sabinolooking patterns where nothing is known as far as genetics goes. I'm sure they could combine and express at the same time in all kinds of ways:)

i find the recent stuff about the Brown gene pretty interesting, have you looked into that?

Depends on just how recent it is:P Last time I read into the subject of Brown (At) was about a year ago. If it's some new report or paper added after that, then I don't think that I've seen it.
