I'm surprised someone would take the risk of losing a foal to maybe get a rare color. I'm guessing there are probably a lot that die and likely some that are homo that no one knows about. I also don't think a lot of people have their horse genetically tested for color either.

Wow this is so interesting. Not great, but interesting

@HighstormFarm Very similar, as the filly (and her full brother?) is deaf =(( But they* like that, because "they make the best show horses". I cant find an eye roll emoji, so please imagine like 5 of them right here.

*Edit: redacted the name :)

Thanks for all the comments!

Yeah, it's totally fair not to change game mechanics. I agree that they seem to have tried plenty of times and getting only 2 that are homozygous means it's pretty likely to fail, still.

I was also a little perturbed by the fact they clearly intend to breed the homozygous horses, even already when this filly isn't even a weanling and the colt is a 2 year old in training. I would hope they wouldn't breed to each other, but I have low expectations.
