Moderate Temperatures and Overcast| Asfamoth |
| Being aa isn't *crucial* but it narrows down the mare's genes, so you can skip paying for gene testing if you try over a couple of years. If her first foal is black (aa) then we know she has an a, and if her second foal is brown (Ata) or bay (Aa) then we know she doesn't have A+ because it's dominant. |

| -HEE Click- For example I've been using this lad of mine (but he'll be out soon so I'll have to test some more) |
| Asfamoth |
| Just tick the "gene tested" box in the horse search and check their gene reports manually. Look for black/bay/grullo lads. |

| I usually capture 2yos, but that makes a lot more sense! Off to find a cheap EE aa boy to throw some girls at |
| Asfamoth |
| If you're catching 3yo, find yourself a EE aa stud and throw them at him before you FR, especially if they're white, grey, palomino, chestnut, dunalino, cremello, perlino, amber, pearl, etc. At least that gives you a chance of finding out if they have it or not, you might get lucky. |
| Asfamoth |
| Stallions thankfully can be tested by breeding them to black-based mares a few times, but mares pretty much have to be gene tested unless you get really lucky with the one foal (I've had only one mare do this so far). |
| Oakmoss Stud |
| I've been tossing my poorly rated captures without gene testing, but I would go even broker *so* fast if I tested :') |
| Asfamoth |
| But it's ALSO hidden by the typical culprits like homo cream, pearl, white, even grey. So if the horse is anything other than bay, buckskin, or dunskin, you won't see it. |
| Asfamoth |
| Oak Agouti genes restrict the black to bring out the red. If a horse is ee (red base) there's no black to hide so the agouti gene is hidden. |
| Asfamoth |
| Well she could also be hiding silver, or wild bay, which is still pretty rare right now. |
| Oakmoss Stud |
| Oof Asfa that's fair, is there not phenotypic difference on a red base then? |
| Whisper Creek Ranch |
| Bravery is the only reason I'm considering keeping this girl... or look if someone wants to buy her (someone more into Bravery rating than I am lol) -HEE Click- |
| Oakmoss Stud |
| I mean, I don't even breed bravery so it's not the end of the world, but it's nice to have |
| Asfamoth |
| Gene testing for wild bay on red bases is absolutely eating my EBs though, wish we had an item for a bigger discount (than silver breeding tokens) or something. |
