Ahem,

[~All-Golds~]

I have recently been experimenting while breeding.. and I found something. This is "~*AG*~ Egyptian Pride", a stallion I bred myself. Anyways, I have bred him three times to multiple dames, and found out that each born foal has a "sheen". I was curious as to where this came from, as his parents and the grandparents of the newest foals had no records of this appearance in their Pedigree. Would anyone mind explaining these components and what created this look? I like it quite a bit, and would like to carry it on for a generation or two.
Thank you!!

It sounds like you're asking about metallic and your stallion here does carry it.
Turkmene's from the AC are the originators of metallic and it only takes one for it to pass on. It has different expressions and the gene itself appears to work as an incomplete dominant, such as just one will appear very, very gently, but two will appear very, very strongly and each expression has an array of possible strengths within each. When paired with dilutions (creams, double pearls and champagnes) the metallic gene is easily overlooked and also, when looking at trained and partially trained horses, again the metallic sheen can be mistaken for training sheen.

Personally, I think metallic is harder to breed out then keep.
It also looks like he's a dun, though I may be wrong about that. But it does appear there's dun on his father's side. This will make the metallic either harder to see, or in your case, a bit brighter.

So, was this what you were looking for? Or did I miss my mark?

Thank you! I really don't know much about the horse genetics in this game, so this explanation means a lot!!
