what is the difference between 1 and 2? that is not clear. They both have some stripes on their legs?

DFP1 only shows when homozygous or when combined with DFP2. It gives brindle-like markings all over a horses body. When homozygous or combined with DFP2 the color name of the horse also has 'brindle' in it.

DFP2 also shows when heterozygous. It gives bold shoulder markings when heterozygous and a larg dark and drippy topline when homozygous.

Bear in mind that they both need at least 1 Dun gene to show (just like hom snowflake only shows with appy and GP only shows on a bay/brown based horse (E? A/At/A+)). DFP stands for Dun Factor Promotor. So your horse also needs Dun, Onyx or nd1. If I remember correctly DFP shows less on nd1 horses but im not 100% sure.

Ill try to find images later,im on my phone and just did some nail polish haha

You will also get a lot of variation depending on what other genetics are in play, and if you read this comment I made to another player you will find that many genes in game work against Dun Factor. So keep that in mind before you decide you want to start investing in it. This is my breeding page I have been working on.

@Fidler you may just be noticing normal Dun, and not the results of Dun Factor Promoter. In real life people use the term Dun Factor to describe various dun-associated markings seen in horses. This game has interpreted that differently, and their "Dun Factor Genes" are not the same as what we see in real life. So I think that might be the confusion here. If you can post a link the the horse in question, I can help you understand better.

So what you are seeing here is how normal Dun is expressed in the game. Plus Silver is lightening the markings.

The game is designed to have a wide expression of genes. So you can have horses that are Dun, that are barely noticeable. If you compare the legs on your mare above, to my stallion below, you'll see his legs look similar to normal bay legs. And if it wasn't for the markings as a result of Dun Factor Promoter, you'd think he was a normal bay.
