Quick Przewalski question
I've just got a quick question about Przewalski genetics, now that I'm getting into more than one generation of them.
From what I understand, all AC Przewalskis are mealy Bay Dun, am I correct in that? Are there any other genes that can show up in there?
For instance, the ultra-pale ones like this guy here (especially with how weird his foal pictures look). Do they just happen to be very pale Bay Duns, or is there anything else going on in there to make them look like that? Also, is the big color/tone shift between his upper and lower legs because of something like sooty, or is it just an effect of the Pangare?
Thanks, and sorry if this is a dumb question. I just had to ask in case I was missing something here, or if there were any other factors about their genetics that I could learn.

Re: Quick Przewalski question
I'd say your guy is just an extreme case of pangare on wild bay dun. Pangare in his case has lightened everything but the dorsal stripe and the low black points of wild bay.Redpyre wrote: From what I understand, all AC Przewalskis are mealy Bay Dun, am I correct in that?

Re: Quick Przewalski question
Dang, yeah, that's some extreme pangare, haha. And the weird way that his lower legs are more pale than his upper legs is just part of that?Tjigra wrote:I'd say your guy is just an extreme case of pangare on wild bay dun.

Re: Quick Przewalski question
I agree, and yes, because this horse is a wild bay and not just a bay, the pangare can make this distinctly bright legged effect.Redpyre wrote:Dang, yeah, that's some extreme pangare, haha. And the weird way that his lower legs are more pale than his upper legs is just part of that?Tjigra wrote:...
Check out our color guide entitled:
What Color is My Horse? Quick Guide by Ancient Breed
This guide will give you what each AC horse breed can have. Make note that even though the horses can have them, it doesn't mean they will. But if the genes aren't listed (such as cream for the Przewalski), this means that the AC horses cannot be carries of it.

Re: Quick Przewalski question
Ah, got it. And yes! I have checked out that guide before, but didn't know if it was 100% accurate and updated, so I thought I'd ask anyway.BlackOak2 wrote:I agree, and yes, because this horse is a wild bay and not just a bay, the pangare can make this distinctly bright legged effect.

Thanks for the help to both of you!

Re: Quick Przewalski question
It's accurate as far as I've found, with the singular exception that there are also chestnut forest horses. There are a couple typos for the actual 'gene' descriptors (Zz for silver, in one case, the no silver is typed as ff instead of zz), so I don't recommend copy and pasting, but the genes they can have are all listed there.Redpyre wrote:

It hasn't been updated for awhile, but no new color genes have been added since it was last edited. Leopard and Tobiano are not included, any of the AC horses can have these genes.
