Thanks for the White Sand, Ammit
  • My seriously considering giving my new colt some DP, or maybe removing his bonus copy of Dun. His little spots are almost invisible, Three dilution alleles have almost wiped out all his color!

    On the other hand, I know that darkening genes will increase spot size, having watched my daughter add homozygous Sooty and homozygous DP to one of her White Sand horses, and I rather like his tiny spots.

  • I'm thinking adding another LP to get snowcap. I'm really liking this RS too.
  • I decided to Google white sand beaches to see if I could use one of the names for this horse. Then I read the story of what makes the beaches of Hawaii white: they are made of parrotfish poop!!

    These fish bite off bits of the coral reefs and in the process of digestion separate the coral animals from their calcium carbonate homes. The calcium carbonate gets washed ashore to make those lovely white beaches.

    So here's my newly named colt:

  • Thanks, Ammit! My mare started off with no sooty or DP and medium small sized spots. I decided to make her homozygous for both and with each darkening gene her spots got bigger until she ended up as this lovely:
