Description

...a long time procrastinated, but finally here
The official guide to the Leopard Gene in Zlesdin horses. It seems the Leopard Complex is indeed one of the more... complex of gene clusters out there, and in my research I was able to conclude one thing: nobody seems to agree on how it works, lol. SO for the sake of simplicity and to have a kind of consencus to stick to within the breed, Zlesdin horses will be adhering to these rules.

IMPORTANT info about spotted Zlesdins:

__________

Feel free to ask questions, I may add the questions and answers to this description

FAQ:

Is bronzing possible?
Yes : D

Are LP and PATN genes to be treated as separate entities?
For the sake of simplicity, yes. A horse that carries, say LP and PATN1 has a 50% chance of passing LP and a 50% chance of passing PATN1. Both can pass, neither can also pass. A PATN gene without LP should be treated as a silent carrier, but will not express anything unless in the presence of an LP gene.

Is it possible to order leopard horses as customs?
No - the story behind the leopard genes in zlesdin horses is explained above. Only a few bloodlines carry these genes.

THIS IS INACCURATE COMPARED TO RL BECAUSE ----
...shhhh. Just shh.

This guide is for Zlesdin horses specifically
