The way it goes...
  • Finally got a colt I've been working towards for a while. He's *Star level. He's a Draft - a lot of my better foals don't have as much bone as I want. He's got the Appaloosa genes I've been working into my stock.

    He's also carrying gray - which I don't want. I've got almost no grays in my whole breeding program,

    Little wotsit. I nearly gelded him just out of irritation :)
  • I suppose the obvious answer is to buy a gene mod token, but I really don't understand how they work :)
  • Yes you would need to buy a GMT token to remove the gray. You can find the option to buy GMTS under Upgrades and Extras on the left side menu.
  • When GMTing lined foals, as your colt is, it is important to check the gene test results. You can only change a gene if the parent from whom the foal inherited the unwanted gene also has the opposite.

    In this case, your colt received dominant gray from his dam--we know this because the report for his gray gene reads gG.

    The next step is to see what the dam has for that gene--we find that she has gG, so she has both of the alleles for that gene.

    This means that you can purchase one GMT, take the colt into the Genetic Modification Lab, and scroll down until you reach the Gray gene. Then click on the right hand G (the dam's contribution is always on the right, the sire's on the left). You'll be taken up to the top of the page, where you'll be given the option of changing the G to g. Accept the change and your colt will no longer be gray.

  • Done. Thank you very much. He's now Bay Appaloosa. I would have been forever trying to breed dominant gray out again if one of my stallions had it.
  • You're very welcome.
