Tarpan color

Post by Ryujin »

Hello!
I would like to know that color he has. I think he is grullo but he also has white spots.

All Tarpans from the AC (or purebred from AC Tarpans) are Bay Dun. That is the only color they come in, though some are darker than others.

The snowflakes on his hip are caused by the Lp gene, as is the varnish he is already showing. The star on his forehead is caused by the tobiano gene.

Your are sure that he is not a grullo, looks more grey-ish than a bay dun.
Why does he have a light grey and not black mane ? Is it silver?
Does every face marking means that the horse is tobiano in this game?
Thanks

Completely certain. Every AC Tarpan is bay dun. It is the only color they come in. If you look near the border of his mask on his face you can see where his black muzzle turns more red. If he wasn't dun his body would be that same red color.

His mane and tail are gray-ish because of his Lp gene. It is causing varnish that will eventually turn his mane and tail (and potentially his whole body) a cloudy white.

Currently any white markings not caused by Lp are all caused by tobiano.
