Gray Reduction

Gray reduction is a very straightforward recessive gene. When a gray horse has two copies of this it causes them to gray out at a fraction of the normal gray rate, while keeping the hyperpigmentation look. If you are into hyperpigmentation or the young gray look this will keep your herd looking that way for almost their entire life.

This is based on real-life horses who have abnormally slow graying. It is not a fantasy gene.



GR is recessive, available through the end of the month, and will be available in the normal RGS rotation. It is 7.50 per copy and does not require a license.

Platinum

Platinum is our brand new fantasy gene for this event. The platinum gene completely removes yellow tones from a horse's coat and heavily reduces red tones while leaving dark tones intact. This results in shimmery desaturated horses with platinum tones instead of the normal golden or copper tones. Platinum is recessive and requires two copies to show. It will add Platinum to the color name of any horse with two copies.



Do not combine with mushroom or chinchilla genes. Why? Mushroom reduces all red pigment. Platinum is more aggressive and while you might get some minimal effect with the darkest with very dark horses I suggest you try and breed that in rather than spending money on it. Chinchilla removes all red pigment and will erase any effect from the platinum gene.

Platinum is a recessive, fantasy gene that requires a license to own. It costs 10.00 per copy, is available through the end of the month, and will be available in the normal RGS rotation.

Because of the very base color-dependent nature of platinum, I have prepped a bunch of examples. I think chocolate, P+, dun, champagne, and cream/pearl are my favorites when combined with platinum. Examples are uploaded here in our FB group.
