Has anyone had a horse "grey out"
  • KAMRanchKAMRanch
    This mare used to be a lovely striped dark grey brindle, then today I noticed she is a lot lighter.. barely showing her brindle. I had a mare do this in real life, so I'm wondering if that is what happens, or if it is a portrait reroll I did not intend or what..
    I loved her color!!! I miss it.. lol will she eventually go white?

    It's her varnish. It happens to most appaloosas. Someone else may be able to explain it better. In my experience, she will most likely go completely white eventually.

    Pretty sure greys and varnish apps reroll every month and get paler and paler as they age.

    Here's an example of an older horse that held his color for longer than most. He was 17-18 years old at pass (this year)
    I'm not sure what exactly makes certain horses varnish out faster than others. I don't know if it's random or not either but some go white within a few season others hold color all there life. The varnish is what makes him look frosty

    Edit: I find Lotta Colors name to be super ironic and kinda funny :-))

    I am very forgetful so if I owe you anything but am taking to long please send me a PM. I don't get on to play the game as often as I once did but I am usually most active during the 2nd and 3rd week of each month

    Both grays and Varnish apps do “gray out” over time in the game, but Ammit has also said appy and Brindle are not playing nicely together at the moment and that’s may cause some Brindle apps to go mostly white prematurely. It’s on her list to fix, but not near the top of the priority list with autoshow carking it and similar issues!

New Genetics Guide!

Our brand new gene guide can be found in the "Resources" section of the navigation, or by clicking underlined genes on the gene testing results. Right now only scientifically documented genes have been added but I look forward to adding all our other genes very soon.

Golden Tokens have been renamed Diamond Tokens to prevent mixing them up with GMTs.

Double boosted over cap horses are now designated as ****Star or ****Gold, again to prevent further member confusion issues I have been seeing.

Era 5 and era 6 futurities have been split again as they both have enough active breeders.
