Description

Like dilutions, natural markings are found in any horse breed and were imported to the Lindeza after cautious selective breeding.

They are dispayed with various way of expressing them, but they are surely not the only ways.

D U N

Dun is a gene found very commonly in the Lindeza, as it's a gene that most donkeys express.

The minimal expression would be a dark line on the mule's spine, going from the wither to the base of the tail.

It's also very common to see some stripes on the knees.

And the maximal expression would be the stripe on the shoulder and some stripes on the forehead.

It can also darken the mule's top like and make the underside whiter.
But cannot look like pangare or sooty !

G R E Y

Grey is a very evolutive gene, which makes it very interesting and random.

The foal is born expressing the normal color of their coat and would progressively grey-out as they are aging.

There's many ways this gene can be expressed.

From a full white horse to a steel grey.

When choosing a mule's grey, be sure to remember its basecoat.

A chestnut can't show black under coat or dark legs from bay!

We allow you to choose the greying type of your mule, which means it can express flea bitten.

Or have a bloody shoulder (like on the middle example)

As long as it's doesn't cover more than ~30% of the body.

R O A N

The example shown is the maximum covered by roan but it can cover a lot less.

It just needs to come from the spine and go down the body.

It would never cover past the knee or base of the head.

This gene has the particularity to change during seasons, with summer and winter coats.

And could, for example, be almost invisible in summer but ver white with the winter coat.

Just remember to show the global expression when designing your mule.

Corn spots must always be roundish and create holes in the roan.

They can't be darker or whiter than what is under the roan.

(When you draw roan, you can, for example use the eraser tool to creat the corn spots)

S O O T Y

Sooty is a gene that darkens the coat unevenly, usually starting from the top of the mule's body.

It can be very extensive or very subtle.

Sooty would always have soft edges but can express some dapples.
