Also...Those spots are called "Bend-Or" spots...No one knows why they appear, and it's done randomly. They can't be passed to offspring.

Whoops...forgot the sooty gene, which is what is giving it its "smoky" shade. This is how the FULL genotype would be written: ee/AA/StySty/nSpl/ff There's a good amount of 'sooty' seen here, so I gave it a double gene, making it dominant. That means any foal it has will automatically have a sooty gene. -nSty-. ^^

^^ I think the genotype would be written as follows: ee/AA/nSpl/ff The "ee" shows that the horse is recessive for black, the "AA" shows it's dominant for chestnut, and "ff" is dominant for the flaxen gene. Since the horse has some nice sized white markings, I threw in nSpl, which is minimal splash. I hope you understand what I mean. XD

Wow, thanks for helping me with the genes! O: Genes give me headaches. ^^; And yea, I understand that. I mean I know how to read genes, I just sometimes can't put them together lol.

XD Sometimes, neither can I...XD And you're welcome. ^^
