When it comes time that we will be making that change we will be handling it carefully. Any horse you make brown now will be brown then. I think there is no reason to worry about it.

Did I miss something? Where is the removal of the brown gene being talked about?

@Blaze5115 @Nightphoenix It was discussed in a comment thread on the facebook group under the post where we voted on the new breeder's clubs. Someone asked why brown couldn't have its own club and it was because the At allele has been proven to be a myth, not based on real genetics, so it's going to be removed from the game. We'll still have brown phenotype horses, but it won't be because of a brown allele in the genotype.

@Forestshadow I don't know, I've been asking the same thing since I first heard about this. I'm guessing now that it hasn't been decided exactly how the new brown will work. If I have it right, before the introduction of the brown allele, brown horses were just hom sooty bays. Maybe that will still have something to do with it?

I somehow missed all of this. Guess I will stop breeding for browns. ☹️ But I guess that makes room for new experiments.
