Re: Color?
Dun and spotted blanket are correct, gold is not. This horse is sable cream. He is brown with dun, champagne, one copy of cream, one copy of dun, one copy of tiger eye, and one copy of Lp. In general the color name is just Sable Dun but some people include Tiger Eye and some indication of the appaloosa spotting gene.RoseeDelight wrote:He is a gold dun spotted blanket.Sunriver Stables wrote:Hello whats his color?

Your horse's genetic code:
gg Ee at? Chch nCr nD pp rr zz Tete Lplp toto
Decoding the Code:
-g/g: Your horse is not gray.
-E/e: Your horse has one dominant (black) gene and one recessive red gene. He can throw both black- and red- based foals.
-at/?: Your horse is brown-based. We have no way to know what agouti gene his sire threw so his secondary agouti gene could be either at (brown) or a (black).
-Ch/ch: Your horse has one copy of champagne (from his mother). He can throw both champagne and non-champagne foals.
-n/Cr: Your horse has one copy of cream (from his mother). He has a 50% chance of passing cream to his offspring.
-n/D: Your horse has one copy of dun (from his sire). He can throw both dun and non-dun offspring.
-p/p: There is no evidence of pangare in your horse's immediate pedigree so I have listed him as pangare negative.
-r/r: Your horse does not have roan.
-z/z: Your horse does not have silver.
-Te/te: Your horse has one copy of the tiger eye gene.
-Lp/lp: Your horse has one copy of the appaloosa spotting gene.
-to/to: Your horse does not have tobiano.

Re: Color?
Practice and observation. I was lucky in that my first exposure to it included genetic testing on all horses and so I picked up the gene names and notation quite quickly. HWO can be more difficult because of the lack of testing and because many colors look quite similar to each other. However with practice, patience, and a bit of investigation (or quite a lot of investigation depending upon the horse) it is usually possible to decipher any color.RoseeDelight wrote: HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT ALL THIS CODING STUFF???

All of HWOs genetics are based on real-life models. The only genetic model on HWO that diverges from what is used in real-life is agouti (the gene that determines whether a black-based horse is bay, brown, or black). The agouti model used by HWO has been theorized but never proven.

Lol Thanks guys!! I'm putting the coding on my farm page so I rememberRoseeDelight wrote:...
