Pearl Gene Query
-
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to why some horses with the Cprl gene show Pearl in their Colour and others don't? I'm a little confused :)
This horse has the Cprl gene and Pearl in her colour name:
Fleur3 Lottery
This foal has the Cprl gene and Pearl is not in her colour name:
Fleur3 Hidden Brass
Any explanation appreciated and sorry if it's a silly question :) -
Cream gene makes it show.Need to contact me? Read this first. Only send me a PM for PayPal issues or if I ask you to. Otherwise, make a forum post. You will get a better faster answer by making a post.
I sometimes get busy and miss things. If your private message, question, etc. gets missed please ping me so I can follow up with you. I am also always happy to explain or clarify. (HAJ does not have a customer service email, please send me a forum message! )

Pearl only affects the horse's color when it's homozygous--CprlCprl--or when it's combined with regular Cream--CprlCcr. This is when Pearl shows up in the color name.
If the horse is CprlC, like Hidden Brass, it does not affect the color of the horse, and so it doesn't appear in the horse's name.De gustibus non disputandum. "There's no arguing about tastes."

Going to chime in that bay with pearl is really pretty and it's obvious when it does show up! It makes a beautiful strawberry blonde sort of colour :)

If you add the cream to make a buckskin they end up slightly paler again and kind of pinky.
II Smultron Stalle
It's definitely a gene that's growing on me!#4519Thanked by 1LJDobbins -
