Loud Appies

The spotting patterns in the mule tend to skew or get wild.  Here are some of the louder examples of appaloosa mules!  Be GLAD they're not in color!  Get out your shades!

Geneticists still cannot decide on exactly which or how many genes control appaloosa spotting.  Blanket mares may have leopard foals, and vice versa, leading to a "leopard complex" theory.  Many mule foals from appy mares have no color at all.  Some have odd blankets, many are wildly spotted, most are LOUD and the pattern skewed.  As in appaloosa horses, the mule foal may be born solid and gradually roan and spot out as it matures.
