Design Guide

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.

Range:

• Minimum: At least two rows of spots, covering either the neck or the hindquarters (hip to dock).
• Maximum:
  
  • Spots cover the whole area from poll to dock, with the largest number of rows on the shoulder and hindquarter areas.
  • Neck and barrel should have less rows, so that spots do not extend all the way to the underside.
  • Spots should stop at the belly line, not go on to the legs.
  • Lightening in the areas described in the Overview.
