It's back!
This month's competition foal horse, Felding forgot to hold back some foals from genetic testing. (She is gold papered, but has not been tested.)

GeneticPracticeFoalPrize


Please give both the color name and the genetic makeup of the color.
Still tweaking the scoring a little bit, but we'll see how this works.
Scoring:
+1 point for each correct word in the color name
-1 point for each incorrect word in the color name
+0 points for missing word in the color name
+1 for having all words given in the correct order, regardless of their correctness

+1 point for each correct allele in the correct place
-1 point for each incorrect allele
+1 point for a gene combination that produces the correct phenotype, even if the alleles are in the wrong order. (For example, if the foal is zZ, guessing zZ, Zz and ZZ would result in a +1, but guessing zz would not. This is separate from the prize/penalty for correctly determining the alleles.)
+2 for having all genes listed in answer in the correct order, regardless of their correctness

For those of you who have never played before... Use any methods you wish (suggestions include looking at parents and making punnet squares, then confirming most likely with phenotype of the foal, using search function to look for similar phenotypes, drawing alleles from a hat, flipping a coin...) to determine the foals genotype (scientific color with alleles). Order of alleles does count hint: sire's allele is first, dam's second.

Prizes! Winner gets the foal horse above, plus an untested, consistent, blue papered mare (https://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=4800261) who would make a nice addition to a bootstrap herd or a show herd, and an 11.90 PT gelding (https://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=4800253). Thanks to @HunterUnderSaddleGirl, there is a pool for hbs prizes. Everyone who enters will get a 10k prize, and a 1hbs live cover to any of my stallions with covers remaining (including any of the bootstrapping boys). Link: "Felding's Stallions"

Let's run this one through the 26th of September, with winners being announced sometime on the 27th or the 28th.
