What exactly do you mean by "peacock"? Can you provide an example of how it looks?

I'll go take a look.

@Xzeina It will only show as an option for lined horses. I've seen it in the GMT lab before too but I'm not sure what it does or if I'd recognize it on the horse.

@leefe No idea frankly. The GMT description makes it sound basically like ASR I'm not how/if they are different or if they interact or if it needs to be het or hom.

This is a horse with both Vrn and lpp1


5s All Bling No Shine V1

These both have LPP1 as well but you can't really tell anything do to the lack of spots and nexus respectively. So yeah I'm clueless.

LPP1 is an allele of LP Promoter which regulates spot size, but is unrelated otherwise to the paid gene, ASR. All horses can carry it but it can only be seen in the GMT lab on lined horses. The gene has another allele called LPP2 that causes distinctly smaller spots, even if only one copy is present. I haven't noticed much difference between LPP1 carriers and non-carriers of the gene. I wrote a post on it and showed a couple examples in the linked thread below. I could dig through my barns for others I tested as well if you'd like more examples.

curious that this discussion has just come up. in my Facebook feed today there was a picture of a "peacock" leopard appy. The spots were very well defined, with darker color inside the lighter color in the spots.

I think its been mentiuoned these are "placeholders" until the gene is released into the game

bummer just read the above from Ammit
went through some of my stock found this mare out of my 3g stud
hom Vrn Hom LPP1. I got Pretty excited to think being Hom LPP1 that foals from her bred to another hom LPP1 Stud equal giant spots. oh well
