This message is from: "Monica Spencer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is a lethal white factor but it has nothing to do with cremellos, perlinos and smoky creams. It can be carried with the overo paint colour pattern (a horse with the overo gene may or may not be paint coloured). A foal that gets a copy of the lethal white overo gene from both parents is born white with an incomplete digestive tract, and always dies. Norwegian Fjords do not carry this gene.
