Rabicano
A Rabicano is a horse of any basic color, in which the fur in the area of the ribs is interspersed with white burin hair. In addition, the upper hair at the base of the tail is white (white tail roof). The amount of white hair can vary significantly from horse to horse. Legs, hips, shoulders, head and neck remain dark.
genetics
The rabicanogen is inherited in a dominant manner, i.e. horses that have the gene only once look exactly like those that have it twice. What the exact gene location and the corresponding gene locus are is unknown.
