  • The phantom genes like Shamrock work well with white markings. Splash, tobiano, and the White genes show the pattern the best. Generally, the more white, the better it shows. Sometimes rerollinga portrait gets you a better pattern.

    My stallion's does not show well due to light white and his chimera coat.

  • Appaloosa white hides phantom genes so chose any appaloosas carefully as well.

  • That looks like a great choice! I’ve noticed that tobiano horses with about half white show phantom genes very nicely :)

    Edit: I meant the pattern. @Humboldt is correct. You can’t put Shamrock or any other licensed gene on a lined horse.

    I’m autistic and I struggle with any kind of communication, so I apologize in advance if I say anything rude or offensive because there’s a 99% chance that I have no clue I did it. I appreciate your patience with me!
  • That horse is lined, you will not be able to use it.

    You have to use an unbred foundation to add RGS genes.

  • Correct, only foundations can be RGS.

    When I want to use the RGS, I normally creat a horse using a herd helper that will get me the genes I want on a foundation. There are a bunch to tobiano herd helpers that could get you what you are looking for.

  • so if I breed my shamrock gene horse, does that mean that some people will not be able to buy the foals? or breed to him?

  • Correct, only those who own the license can breed to horses with the gene. If the foals are spayed or gelded then they can be sold to those who do not own the gene.
