Hi there! There are actually a whole bunch of new genes; a little something for everyone!

Ice is a totally 100% fantasy gene that Ammit released for the holidays last year. There are (currently) 4 strains of it, but only 2 of them are available to the public. It's called Ice because it looks like frost growing on a window. Ice 1 is the most readily available:



followed in a more limited fashion by Ice 2 (the ice is the all-over vertical crackly stuff):



It's not lethal with anything; it goes with everything. And, even better, when you combine Ice 2 with any other kind of Ice you get these really neat rainbow horses, but they're few and far between, hard to come by.

Satin is a much older gene, which was released several years ago, at the same time that White 4 was. It was kept largely private among the people who bought the original foundation copies of the gene, but in the last year or two has become 'relatively' common. I say relatively because it's still one of the most dearly held genes, but it's certainly not as hard to get now as it used to be. It isn't listed in the color name, and it's only visible in its homozygous form.

This horse is a silver bay, and she carries one copy of satin. You can't tell by looking at her:




This horse is also a silver bay, almost identical, except that she has two copies of satin. You can't miss it!
