Chinchilla would turn her completely white.
It removes all red pigmentation so all horses that are chestnut based (no E) will be whited out.

Someone else asked about it a little while ago and there are some decent examples of the effects of chinchilla Here.

Hopefully that may help. :)

In cases like this, I love the horse search.

First, input your current mares genetics (ee, no dilution genes, hom sooty). Then you add in the gene you want to see (chinchilla, so chnchn) then search. In this case the hom AtAt doesn't matter, because it has no E gene to work off of.

I found this horse, as well as many others, who are basically identical to that mare, just hom chinchilla

Would this mare work?

Bay based chinchillas end up looking like this. If it's not what you want, then I suggest looking at another gene because chinchilla turns red pigment into white, that's just what it does.

I like that name btw.

Unfortunately there is no colour such as "white" in horses. You can have combinations that result in close to white, but if you want a lot of examples of that I suggest making a thread dedicated to it.

As for mushroom, it works on red pigment as well. Here's a post describing how it works with examples: https://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/60469/brand-new-for-june-mushroom-gene-till-june-15th-closed/p1
