Tarpan Colors?

Post by Mauja »

Are all the Tarpan horses the same colors, or variations on the same colors?

They look like they're (mostly) black and brown roans to me, or dark duns. I'm looking at the randomly generated adoptable Tarpans, just wondering if they have a specific set of colors versus the rest of the breeds. Some appear to have the dun leg markings, the spine stripe, or both, but not all of them have this.

Mostly yes, But they're not roan, they are duns.
Here's a little (unfortunately unfinished) guide to ancient breed colours.

Tarpans only come in one color, bay dun. All Tarpans are homozygous for dun, agouti and black. This is what I was told by Larissa on chat.
