How did my foal end up wtih that much white?
Hello!
I don't know much about white patterns other than tobiano, and I don't think this is a tobiano since none of the parents are? I just managed to get this foal from two parents that didn't really have any white at all. Anyone care to educate me on how this happened and what the white pattern is called?
S.A. No Idea

Her dam's sire was carrying the Tobiano gene that's why she got the Tobiano gene.
Her color is a Tobiano.

So, the dam is an extremely minimal tobiano? Does that minimal tobiano even happen IRL? Usually the minimal tobianos at least have socks?AHorseandPonyLover wrote:Hello,Sunpath wrote:

No, her dam don't have any Tobiano markings atleast from what i saw. But the Foal's dam's sire was a Tobiano so it means the Foals's dam is a Tobiano carrier.Sunpath wrote:So, the dam is an extremely minimal tobiano? Does that minimal tobiano even happen IRL?

Tobiano carried without it showing = An extremely minimal tobiano.AHorseandPonyLover wrote:No, her dam don't have any Tobiano markings atleast from what i saw. But the Foal's dam's sire was a Tobiano so it means the Foals's dam is a Tobiano carrier.Sunpath wrote:

Tobiano is a dominant, there is no such thing as carrying tobiano without being a tobiano. So the mare must be an extremely minimal tobiano.

Also, the Foals color can be come from Great Grand Parents too. Like this Foal,Sunpath wrote:
Her dam and sire isn't Brown but her sire's Great Grand Parents have the Brown gene, so the Foal can be look like her Grand/Great Grand Parents.

I think I will wait for someone else to respond, because that foal's parents are both palomino, meaning chestnut with 1 cream gene, and the foal might not inherit the cream and then become a chestnut instead of a palomino. This foal hasn't inherited the colour from it's grandparents.

I think you don't get what i mean,Sunpath wrote:
Her sire's Great Grand Parents (5 generations) have the Brown gene. If you look to Sire's sires for 5 times you will get what i mean.

The Foal always have chance to look like her/his Great Grand Parents, not only parents.AHorseandPonyLover wrote:I think you don't get what i mean,Sunpath wrote:

I don't think you seem to be very knowledgable about how actual real life genetics work, which is what this game is coded after. Thanks anyway.AHorseandPonyLover wrote:The Foal always have chance to look like her/his Great Grand Parents, not only parents.AHorseandPonyLover wrote: I think you don't get what i mean,
