Gene Confusion
Post by sofiacb »
Hi!
I'm confused about my filly Jolly A Tsunami
Maybe I'm making a mistake but I classified her coat as Palomino Roan but neither of her parents are Roan (and, according to the posts I read, that gene is dominant). Does the stallion have it, but because he is cremello, it isn't visible or did I just make a mistake classifying the filly's coat?
Thank you in advance for your help

You're correct that she's a palomino roan. You're also correct that she inherited that roan from her father. I can see that he carries pangare as well (there's a white nose around the pink skin). If you look at his cheek, you'll notice that it looks a little whiter than most of his face, it is from the roan gene. It's difficult sometimes to tell what a horse carries until they produce offspring. There's a good chance I would have not seen the roan the first time either.sofiacb wrote:Hi!

Also, I've noticed that different horses have different shaped manes. Is there a guide for them as well?

There is very short manes (the tails will match the length)
Medium Manes
Long Manes
Then along with mane length, there can be regular manes or thick manes (often called pony manes).
Lastly the mane (short, medium or long) can also stand straight up in a mohawk fashion. These manes are often referred to as mohawks, standing, upright or even Prze-manes (from the AC breed they come from). These mohawk manes are not roached or hogged manes (roached manes are cut or razored off and grow in for awhile standing upright). Roaching or hogging is not yet an option on the game.

There is. You have to breed for it. The Mohawk is recessive to the flat type. I'd call length incomplete dominant and use the made up L as an example.sofiacb wrote:So there is no way of predicting what kind of mane the foal will have?Fox13 wrote:

L/L -> long
L/l -> medium
l/l -> short

And between the thick and the regular ones, I'm guessing the thick one is recessive?

I'm not 100 percent on how thickness works because I've never paid attention to that trait in my horses.sofiacb wrote:And between the thick and the regular ones, I'm guessing the thick one is recessive?

I believe the consensus up to this point has been that the pony mane is dominant. It certainly is a bit harder to breed out of my herd... but then again, I have that same problem with chestnut and long manes, both of these are recessive traits.sofiacb wrote:And between the thick and the regular ones, I'm guessing the thick one is recessive?
I didn't know mohawks were likely recessive, but it makes sense.
