Summary During the routine parentage control of Norwegian Trotter horses with 10 000 parent offspring combinations two irregular transmissions of Pr alleles were found. The allele products were provisionally named D 1 and D 2 . They appeared in two stallions which were typed as D 1 I and D 2 N respectively. The first stallion transmitted Pr D 2 to seven out of 10 offspring and the second stallion Pr D 2 to two of four offspring. Photographs of seven new Pr phenotypes are presented.
