cted foals are born with a coat color dilution that lightens the tips of the coat hairs, or
even the entire hair shaft. Foals with LFS are unable to stand at birth, often have seizures,
and are usually euthanized within a few days of birth.
* Occipital Atlanto-Axial Malformation (OAAM). This is a condition where the cervical
vertebrae fuse together in the neck and at the base of the skull. Symptoms range from
mild incoordination to the paralysis of both front and rear legs. Some affected foals
cannot stand to nurse, in others the symptoms may not be seen for several weeks. This is
the only cervical spinal cord disease seen in horses less than 1 month of age, and a
radiograph can diagnose the condition. There is no genetic test for OAAM, and the
hereditary component of this condition is not well researched at present.
The Silver Lining Stable Bio :There are very few Arabians registered as roan, and some
geneticists suggest that roaning in purebred Arabians is actually the action of rabicano
genetics. Rabicano is a partial roan-like pattern. Unlike a true roan, a rabicano horse's
body does not have intermingled white and solid hairs over the entire body, nor are the
legs or head significantly darker.
The Silver Lining Stable Contact * Equine juvenile epilepsy, or Juvenile Idiopathic
Epilepsy, sometimes referred to as "benign" epilepsy, is not usually fatal. Foals are born
normal and appear normal between epileptic seizures, and seizures usually stop occurring
between 12 and 18 months.
* Guttural Pouch Tympany (GPT) occurs in horses ranging from birth to 1 yr of age and
is more common in fillies than in colts. It is thought to be genetic in Arabians, possibly
polygenic in inheritance, but more study is needed.
The Arabian Horse Association in the United States has created a foundation that
supports research efforts to uncover the roots of genetic diseases.
