Yes. But it's not a normal gene. You have like a one in 50 shot of it being passed on.

Not really. Chasing brindle will cost you a WHOLE lot of game money; your better to pick something like pearl, which you can buy GMT's and put on your horse (as long as it is foundation). Everyone always wants to breed brindles when they first notice them, but brindle is a very hard thing to get, as it is, the simplest way I can put it (even if wrong), it's like an accident that happened, and something cool was gotten from it. Most brindles in real life are actuallly the result of twins, and one gets absorbed into the other, but the two different colors of the twin foals merge and "brindle". Like I said, it may be a wrong way to explain it, but its a whole lot easier and cheaper to go after something else like pearl.

I would say that even 1 in 50 is generous if only one parent is Brindle! LOL.

For perspective, I have 42 Brindle foundations, thanks to Rank Specials. I think I've bred maybe six brindles total (give or take one) in the nine real years I've played the game and I think most of those were from Brindle x Brindle breedings.

Brindle is expensive to chase. Instead, I incorporate those I get from Rank Specials into what I would be breeding anyway and enjoy the fun when I do breed a Brindle. And Gael is right, if you do breed one, they might not even pass testing! I've only had two pass free testing!
