Snowcap

Snowcaps are similar to the Blanket pattern except that the white area of the hips and croup will not have any spots in it. The white area can extend up to the withers and even cover most of the body. In these cases the horse will usually retain some colour on the head, legs, flanks and elbows.

It is believed that this pattern is homozygous and will always throw a appaloosa pattern.
