Post by kasey1732 »

Can someone tell me where her mohawk gene came from? I went down her pedigree but I couldn't find any links or how she got it :|

Okay, so. First things first, mohawk is recessive. It can hide basically forever. It seems you've got an almost-forever case going on here.

Here are your girl's ancestors that have mohawk:

AC Prze mare # 1. She's 44 generations back through your girl's dam-line. (Follow the mares all the way until you get to the Junction x Sienna Casanova cross, then click Junction and follow his dam-line.)

AC Prze mare # 2. She's 50 generations back through the dam-line. (Follow mares until you get to Frodo x Just around the corner then go Frodo -> Holiday -> Z Bombina -> Silver Bombzway -> Silver bombshell (Or Bombzaway, she's in both) -> TNT Allie -> Top Nugget.) She's also in there through this horse. Her granddaughter, TNT Allie is in the pedigree at least twenty-eight times. (Very far back.) The vast majority of these instances were through this horse whose pedigree I stopped looking at after like an hour because it was all the same horses.

AC Prze stallion # 1, 52 gens back on the dam side. (He's in there at least three times through multiple horses.) Also through Frodo.

AC Prze mare #3, 50-some generations back on the dam side. Also through Frodo.

All four of the above horses went through Junction.

AC Prze mare #4, AC Prze stallion #2, AC Prze stallion #3, AC Prze mare #5, AC Prze mare #6, AC Prze stallion #4, AC Prze mare #7, AC Prze stallion #5, AC Prze stallion #6, AC Prze stallion #7, AC Prze stallion #8. Still on the dam's side.

I got really tired after that and admittedly didn't look into the sire's side. However, your girl has a ton of Gypsy blood in her and those lines have a lot of mohawk running around. Not necessarily in your girl's pedigree, but they tend to pop out mohawks quite a bit because they were bred for it a while back.

No problem. It's something to do to distract me from watching Mojo. :lol:
