  3. Mushroom gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_gene

    Mushroom on a bay base A mushroom foal with a bay base. The mushroom gene is a recessive dilution gene that affects red pigment in horses. It was identified in 2014. [1]On a chestnut base coat the horse is born a pale beige with sometimes a greyish or pinkish tint and often keeps that color when it becomes an adult, but some turn darker when an adult.

  4. Equine coat color genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_coat_color_genetics

    Before domestication, horses are thought to have had these coat colors. [1] Equine coat color genetics determine a horse's coat color. Many colors are possible, but all variations are produced by changes in only a few genes. Bay is the most common color of horse, [2] followed by black and chestnut.

  5. Isabelline (colour) - Wikipedia

    Similarly, horses with a bay base coat and the cream gene will be buckskin or perlino. A black base coat with the cream gene becomes the not-always-recognized smoky black or a smoky cream. Cream horses, even those with blue eyes, are not white horses. Dilution coloring is also not related to any of the white spotting patterns.

  7. Overo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overo

    If two horses with the frame overo gene are bred together, there is a 25% chance the foal will have lethal white syndrome. [ 4 ] Splashed white or splash overo is a group of patterns that tend to have white on the underside, as if a horse ran through white paint with its head lowered.

  8. Pangaré - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaré

    Horse foals are often born with "foal pangaré" or light points, especially over black haired areas, which they lose when they shed their foal coats. At one time, the seal brown coat color was hypothesized to occur from the action of pangaré on a black coat. However, this has been disproven; seal brown horses are a variation of the bay color ...

  9. Lethal white syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_white_syndrome

    Both parents must be carriers of one copy of the LWS allele for an affected foal to be born. Horses that are heterozygous for the gene that causes lethal white syndrome often exhibit a spotted coat color pattern commonly known as "frame" or "frame overo". Coat color alone does not always indicate the presence of LWS or carrier status, however.
