I know who bred him, and can see what is on his site for clues. Not knowing, what his hets are, is causing me to test him out, making more projects with Tessera than I probably would have. He certainly has the look of an out crossed Corn to a Mutant, such as Lavender or Ghost, we will see.

With Motley and Striped in some mixes, it might be hard to tell. It could be very slight, but Homo Tesseras should be possible.
Painted Horses have a few different dominant genes. One line, does produced Homo dominant Paints that when bred to any solid horse produces a Paint 100% of the time. Another Dominant Paint Horse gene, that is in other equine, can only produce Het Dominant offspring. The homo match up is fatal, and is usually aborted, or lost at birth.

We have all seen “Striped” Corns mislabel in ads. Tessera looks like a “Striped” Corn to many, and many variations of Motley are called “Striped”. The “striped” corn X okeetee breeding has to be het Tessera at least and it makes since that somebody who doesn’t really know what a Genetic Striped looks like, would likely bred them to a Stripe or Motley, to get that allele in the mix.
Now that I have seen a few more photos of Striped Tessera and Motley Tessera, it looks pretty obvious. I guess the Tessera Motleys are picked out due to the black borders first and perhaps other things I am not seeing yet. I hope to see several clutches of then this year.
