Varnish roan manes and tails

[Emiisheartless2]

Hello everyone! In preparation for the coming update, I've started gathering some horses with LP patterns, and while they are really beautiful, there is one thing that bothers me: the manes and tails of the horses turn completely grey.

An example: A03


He is only 13, but I think he looks so old. A quick google search told me that in real life, the mane and tail are generally unaffected by the varnish, and I suggest that also be the case in this game, with perhaps a slight lightening of the hair, but not to this extent. I hope this might be considered for the update.

We can breed-for a lot of these types of color genes. Although I don't pay much attention to the varnishing of the manes and tails... let's see if my leopard tarpan project can prove something different...

This one's not a great example, but there's still color in the mane at 5 years: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1141978
This one's a slightly better example that still has mane color at 5 years: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/895574
Considering I bred that one's sire to an AC arab (and looking quickly through part of the pedigree without further obvious indications), it could be the genes to breed-for less varnishing in the manes and tails (or a longer period of time before it starts) could be carried by the arabs.

I didn't immediately find any other obvious ones in my living project horses or their pedigrees, but I certainly could've missed one.

Oh, wow. This game just keeps surprising me with how much we can actually adjust the horses to our liking. It is absolutely incredible! I guess I’ll just have to keep track of the varnish a bit better and see if I can breed for less varnishing. These are some of my first horses with LP so I’m really excited to learn more about these fascinating set of genes!

You're tackling quite a project! It's not difficult overall, but it can be frustrating. Good Luck!
