Design Guide

Genetics: Hq_
Locus: Hq

Overview:

• Causes white markings that push from the outer "frame" of the horse.
• Edges should have rounded cutouts, and will exhibit smaller speckles/spots close to the edge.
• Coverage should be relatively symmetrical on both sides of the horse (not perfect symmetry, just similar amount/areas).
• Top and bottom markings should each be one unbroken marking (or touch/become one), not multiple split up along the area.
• The blue areas in the grey chart below indicate the last areas that Harlequin will fill in; it will begin to "close off" the spaces in between by curving up/down to converge before covering those actual areas. The first and last examples below demonstrate heavier coverage in this manner.

• Mane/Tail: Optional effect; may be white where touching or remain solid.
• Skin: Pink where touching
• Eyes: No effect

Interactions:

• May interact with Patchwork, Inverse, Blotted, Halo, and Stained.

Range:

• Minimum: 
  • White must cover at least half of the distance from poll to tail, and from throatlatch to buttock.
  • Where white crosses the legs, it must at least extend down to a bit below the belly line.
• Maximum: White covers almost the entire body, leaving at least 3 of the head or body areas in the chart below colored. Leg areas optional.
