Overview:

  • Inspired by cattle coat patterns, particularly Texas Longhorns, Dairy Shorthorns, White Park, etc.
  • Causes a white marking on the body of the horse, with rounded patches of the base color showing through.
  • The majority of the patches should be at least as large as the hoof, but often cluster together to make larger patches.
  • Edges of the white marking should have patches "cutting in" to them rather than being a smooth edge.
  • The white marking should be densely speckled with spots of the base color, similar to Flecked or fleabitten grey.
  • Mane/Tail:
    • Mane white where white touches
    • Tail solid colored, solid white, or partial white that covers up to 3/4 of the tail
  • Skin: Pink where covering.
  • Eyes: No effect

Interactions:

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

Range:

  • Minimum: White marking should cover at least from the withers back, with at least a few patches.
  • Maximum: White marking may cover everything except the muzzle, eyes, ears, and pasterns/coronets.
