APPALOOSAS!

Now that I have your attention, can anyone tell me what's favored in Appy colors?
I'm going with Champagne > Creme > Dun > Silver > Leopard > Varnish > Few Spot

Are solids liked at all? Greys?
I'm about to start messing around with the customizer just to see the different genes (like is pangare/flaxen in the breed)

I'm still trying to figure out how the Patn1 and Patn2 genes work by comparing the genes of my stores and the patterns they've made.

Dominant Lp gene allows white patterns to show up.
Lplp allows white patterning with colored spotting.
LpLp allows white patterning with fewer to no spots.
With no PATN genes, Lp only allows varnish roan.
lplp does not allow white patterning/solid coat.

PATN genes with no Lp will be a solid horse.
PATN1 allows the entire body to be covered in white.
PATN1patn1 is a leopard pattern.
PATN1PATN1 is a near-leopard or few-spot.

PATN2 allows for a smaller area (back/rump) to be white.
PATN2patn2 is a small rump snowcap or spotted blanket.
PATN2PATN2 is a large over-back snowcap or spotted blanket.

Thank you! c: I was reading it through the "Gene Help" post, buuuuuut it wasn't sinking in quite as clearly as this.

I may have to rewrite it then once all the accurate images are saved to the database so I don't have to keep using tinypic... I want things to be as easy to understand as possible XD of course, it is a lot of reading.

Oh no no, the pictures etc explain it well enough, it's just having it smooshed into the concise little paragraph that seemed to help it click for me. I can look at it and just match the genes to what it produces. I'm a list sort of person. XD
