The Quarter Horse and the Thoroughbred have been in existence since the seventeenth century and are perhaps the most well-known horse breeds of the twentieth century. These spectacular horses are used to compete in sporting events and have tremendous abilities. They are prey animals that routinely weigh over one thousand pounds, have similar colors, and are made for riding. Both are routinely more than fifteen hands in height and are measured from the ground at their front legs with one hand equaling four inches. Reaching speeds in excess of forty miles per hour, they can easily jump heights of five feet. Each has won North American and world championships, earning themselves fame and their owner’s fortune for their accomplishments.

People have been breeding horses to obtain a certain appearance for a long time. People have preferences in how tall their horse is, what its conformation is like, its muscling, and even its color. Horses have been bred to display solid coat colors as well as coats of mixed colors. Frame Overo is a very appealing coat color type that consists of two different colors marking the horse. Frame Overo is a color associated with paint horses that have white patches on their abdomens that do not extend to the midline of the back, where they are a darker color such as brown (Metallinos et al, 1998). As appealing as these coat colors are, breeding two frame Overo horses for their coloring comes with great risk. Less than twenty-five percent of offspring produced by these animals inherit a lethal genetic disease known as Lethal White Overo or Lethal White Foal Syndrome ("Frame Overo").
