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.

HkP = Husky, nHk/HkHk = Husky

Overview:

• Husky is a dramatic lightening pattern that mirrors the appearance of the dog breed that shares its name.
• Lightening should be very pale and visible, sometimes near-white. It should be blended, but should generally be a little sharper than Pangare.
• Lightening must affect the face, neck/throat, chest, armpit, and belly, and may also affect the hindquarters and legs.
• Areas of lightening should follow/hug the curves of the body, coming up highest at the sides of each curved section.
• Face lightening should be a mask centering around the eye and muzzle, often filling in to connect the two and lighten the chin/cheek as well.
  • May lighten the brow spot above the eyes as well, as long as the edge is still blended rather than solid.
  • May also cause a softly-blended star or stripe marking down the center of the face (example).
• Leg lightening should hug the back side of the legs, leaving the most color on the knee/hock and coronets/pasterns.
• Optional darkening may be present along the topline, similar to Sooty, but this is not a requirement.

Black Husky

Chestnut Husky Splash

Black Pearl Husky

Genetics: Fwn_
Locus: Fwn​

Overview:

• Inspired by fawn markings, this gene causes oval-shaped spots to appear along the topline of the horse.
• Spotting should follow the curve of the body in a linear fashion, arranged in distinct rows instead of randomly interspersed.
• Spots vary in size but will be about the same size on each row, and will get smaller the lower they are on the body. Should not get much bigger than the eye. A few spots may merge/bump into each other, but will not create long lines, and most should stay separate.
• Optionally, pangare-like lightening may cover the belly and a half-heart shaped area on the hindquarters. If those areas are lightened, it may also lighten some or all of these areas - coronets, eyes, muzzle, throat/neck - but cannot do so without the first two.
• Mane/Tail: May slightly lighten up to 1/2 of the tail, starting at tips
• Skin: No effect
• Eyes: No effect

Interactions:

• Spots may be affected by Patchwork, Inverse, and Stained.
