What can I do make toner show on this baby

I think it shows better if the horse has cream or pangare (especially plus). But it's meant to be subtle.

Here is the info for the gene "Toner is a subtle allele that only shows on diluted pigment. Works best with duns, creams, onyx, pangare +, and other diluted shades. Can add a slight tint on darker horses. Only requires one copy to show. " Basically you picked a horse that is none of the above and has no diluted pigment so it can't show. You can add any dilution genes to get it to show. :)

Thanks folks. For some reason she doesn’t show up in the gene mod list.

You can't edit a spayed horse. :)

Oh right oh well. I guess I will need to find a better stud for future babies.

@Ammit would it work on silver, pearl, or horses with large areas of white?

White is no pigment and will not show. Silver and pearl are both dilutes and will show. :)

Thank you!

@AshaWindsong I have a few mares that have the right dilute genes that toner would show. I'd be happy to give you one. None are drafts but maybe you could breed toward heavier bone weight.

This one is hom pearl
