• How a foal gets its colourGuide

  Every horse carries two copies of each colour gene. A foal gets one copy of each gene from its mother and one from its father, each picked at random with even odds, gene by gene. The foal's colour is then read from the genes it ended up with, so two horses of the same colour can still have foals of other colours if they carry hidden copies.

  Some genes need only one copy to show: black, the agouti genes that make bay, seal brown and wild bay, dun, champagne, roan, silver dapple, gray and white. Chestnut and flaxen show only when the foal has two copies.

  Cream shows with one copy as a lighter colour (palomino, buckskin, smoky black) and with two copies as the palest ones (cremello, perlino, smoky cream). White and gray cover everything else. Each breed has a list of colours it comes in.

  If a foal's colour is not on its breed's list, the game picks the genes again, up to 20 times, and keeps the first try that fits. If none of the 20 tries fits, the foal keeps the colour of the last try. So a colour on the list is far more likely than the genes alone suggest, and a colour off the list is rare but possible.

  Pinto, appaloosa, sooty and rabicano genes pass on the same way but do not count when the game checks the breed's list. Two horses of the same breed have a foal of that breed. Two different breeds have a foal only if the pair is a known crossbreed, and the foal takes the crossbreed's breed and that breed's colour list.

  A donkey stallion with a mare gives a mule, a mare donkey with a stallion gives a hinny, and a rainbow zebra with another breed gives a zorse, zony, zarger or a magic cross, depending on the other parent's type. Crossbred, mule, hinny, zorse, zarger, zony and zonkey are sterile; the charm of easy breeding lets one of them have one foal.

  White markings (blaze, star, snip, strip, socks, stockings, coronets, fetlocks, pasterns) and pangare pass the same way: for each marking, each parent passes one of its two copies, with even odds. The tail type is the parents' tail when they share one, otherwise one of the two at even odds, and a tail the foal's breed cannot have is replaced by one it can.
