That is extremely interesting! I wonder if it's directly connected to black or not? I can't say I've noticed the varnish appearing before a year, but my bay's and brown's may be harder to detect simply because of the color (and not that I'm just blind ). I'll keep my eye's out for this occurring in my own stock, see if I can get some pictures on agouti foals.Silverine wrote:
So it seems that along with your super slow varnish, we can also have varnish that starts to show before the horse turns a year old. This colt of mine is a little over a year now, but his varnish started to show before his first birthday.
Here's the varnish on his neck when I first noticed it at around 11 months:
I'm still behind you on the expressions of Lp, so I have no new progress to report. In fact, that nose-covered foal I sent to you was the last one I produced... yet. It seems that I keep making short bounds into new territory before retreating and filling in other areas.
Here's three of a growing handful of facial coverage to date. You can also see that I'm slowly filling in the same problem areas you and Totina have come across. So I suppose that means anybody breeding for false leopard will go through the same rough patches we did, regardless of base color. I haven't yet had any with color around the eyes or down the nose.

I've had it popping up a lot recently. I'm going to go back through and check out the yearling pictures to see how long it's been there without me noticing.

No new patches, but I finally got the patches I had to connect:BlackOak2 wrote:
I'm pretty sure the big non-white area near the bottom of his muzzle (separating the little white triangle from the bigger white area around his nostril) is just a big spot, but I'll know more once he starts to varnish. (His sire varnished early, so hopefully it won't take too long to figure out.

Really nice face markings on a non-chestnut base you got there!Silverine wrote:.
I have been gone from the game for a while but I am back in action, ready to continue with my leopard project. So far I have managed to collect a few horses with no apparent pattern genes (I will need to test them a little to really make sure they only have the LP switch and nothing else). These horses could help determine what pattern genes are hiding in the different AC breeds.

FINALLY! Neck AND face! It's been super frustrating to get to this point. She's missing a spot or two on her rump and legs, but that'll come eventually.Totina wrote:
