Can anyone help me understand which splash genes are okay when homozygous the same, and which aren't, and which are less "aggressive". And I have no clue how any look compared to the others. I can search, but I've been so busy, I forget. I ask because I'm starting a project that both stallion and mare must be homozygous splash.

I am pretty sure that normal splash is fine when homozygous. I breed splash on bluegrass and have never had a problem. I have no experience with splash 2 or 3 however, so maybe someone else can comment on them.

Ok y’all, I think Splash is next. I’m going to cover all 4 varieties of Splash in the game together in this post even though they’re technically on two different genes.

There are three kinds of Splash on the Splash gene:
Splash 1 is Sps
Splash 3 is Sps3
Splash Macchiato is SpM

The fourth splash is on the PAX3 gene.
Splash 2 is PAX3^C70Y

Splash 1 is usually just called Splash. It occurs spontaneously in the game and is available in the GMT Lab.

Splash 2 never occurs spontaneously in the game. It is available in the GMT Lab.

Splash 3 never occurs spontaneously in the game and is NOT available in the GMT Lab.

Splash 1-3 basically look like the horse has been dipped feet and muzzle first into white paint. The level of expression varies between splash type and is also governed by White Factor. Macchiato is similar to splash but has an edge that looks “roaned” instead of the clean edge of splash 1-3. This is reminiscent of the look of milk “staining” espresso coffee and is the source of the name of this type of splash. Macchiato also lightens the overall color of the horse.

Splash M or Macchiato never occurs spontaneously in the game and is considered a Closed gene, meaning that you can only own breedable horses with the gene if you bought it directly from the game. It is not in the GMT Lab but is on the rotating gene sales list.

All 4 splash varieties are eligible for the Splash Breeders Club. There is not a special club for any one kind of splash.

Splash 2 is lethal when homozygous.
Splash 3 is lethal when homozygous.
Splash 2 and Splash 3 mixed together is lethal.

Splash and Macchiato are safe when homozygous, when mixed together, or when mixed with Splash 2 or 3 (but not splash 2 AND 3 together because obviously that’s lethal).

Homozygous slash or any two splashes mixed together will increase overall expression of the splash markings, which means splash is incompletely dominant.

The only thing that has changed is that splash 2 can sometimes occur on brindle horses on the secondary set now.

And Splash M (Macchiato) is available in the GMT lab now at the cost of 15 GMTs.

The amount of white showing on splash horses is governed first by the amount of White Factor present and second by the type of splash. Splash 1 adds the least amount of white, increasing by levels of White Factor; Splash 2 adds more white increasing with each level of White Factor, and Splash 3 adds the most amount of white, again increasing by level of WF. I'm not certain where Splash M falls in this sequence.

Thanks, y'all.

Also, splash 3 is available in the GMT lab for 5 GMTs.
