A World Full of

Wonders

Our world is an exciting place, full of diverse fur colors and new discoveries in genetics. I have committed myself to spreading this knowledge. Check out my blog to learn more about me and my mission.

Roan (the KIT Gene)

The Roan genotype is a fascinating genetic mutation in horses that causes their coat to display a unique and beautiful pattern. Horses with the Roan genotype have a mixture of white and colored hairs in their coat…

Splash White 1

Splash White, also known as Helmscheckung, is a genetic variation in horses that produces a unique and striking coat pattern. This autosomal semi-dominant pattern occurs in many different breeds…

Gray (the STX17 Gene)

The gray gene is not an independent color but the result of a mutation in the STX17 gene, which overlays the base color of a horse and causes it to gray prematurely…
