Color real quick?

her color?: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2645358

Her color descriptor is already right she is a smoky brown with blanket (or just lp if you want to be more generic)

k thanks

whats his color now

Now, thats a handsome little Red Dun with Blanket and Tiger Eyes The mealy hid really pretty much his body, so I'm glad he turned out like this

The mare is still the same, no obvious signs for dun or mealy (at least I think) there

Any clue about his leg stripes?

Leg striping is indicative of dun.

Take a look at the following study to get more of an understanding on the dun gene:

Tiger eye red dun snowcap. The difference between snowcap and blanket is that snowcap is homozygous for varnish roan (Lp/Lp) and a blanket is heterozygous for varnish roan (Lp/lp). Blanket spots look... different. Bigger and usually more numerous. Sometimes a bit faded of the edges as if it's a spot within a lighter spot. Look at the sire for comparison.

Quick correction: lp and blanket are not interchangeable terms.

Lp/Lp (homozygous) and Lp/lp (heterozygous) are genes that cause varnish roan. Varnish roan is the 'on switch' for spotted colourations - spotted patterns will not show up without varnish roan although varnish roan can and will express without the spotted patterns. A varnish roan without a pattern gene can be labeled 'snowflake' - they have anywhere from a few to many white spots and bronze as they age. Varnish roan is dominant.



The two pattern genes are PATN1 and PATN2. As far as I remember, PATN1 is dominant over PATN2 - however, I'm not entirely certain and they could be co-dominant, for all I know.

PATN1 is the pattern gene that causes leopard, near leopard, fewspot and near fewspot. PATN1/- in combination with Lp/lp will cause leopard and near leopard. PATN/- in combination with Lp/Lp causes fewspot and near fewspot.

Leopard:


Near leopard:


Fewspot:


Near fewspot:


PATN2 causes blanket. We generally call markings 'extended blanket' or 'extended snowcap' when the white extends up the back - not quite blanket/snowcap and yet not quite near leopard/fewspot. PATN2 and Lp/Lp causes snowcap and PATN2 with Lp/lp causes blanket.

Blanket:


Snowcap:


Extended blanket:


Extended snowcap:


There are also other genes that control things such as the distribution of white, spot size, spot density, etc.

Ah ok, thank you
