Halo Varnish has landed in the RGS sale, the GMT lab, and the create a horse page.

This new gene is open, shareable, and can show up randomly on any new foundation horse. It is semi-dominate with one copy causing a halo effect around the edge of appaloosa spots and two copies creating a more pronounced effect.

Halo is caused by varnishing at the edge of a horse's spots, which means it causes small spots to look fuzzy and requires large spots to produce clear halo marks. Horses with heavy sooty and DP, and with only one copy of LP are your best bet to get clear halos but halo varnish will show on all appaloosas. Halo varnish is separate from traditional varnish and snowflake varnish. It shows up better if those genes are present but it does not require them.

The price for Halo is $5 USD per copy and it will be for sale through the end of January.
