I have a mare that is now completely white/grey but under her grey she is apricot. Generally when foals are born grey I put the color in remarks or barn name unless it's a solid common color like chestnut black or bay. In this particular mares case I put it in her name (^mares name^ prl?) Which means she was born a plain color but I knew she could be prl if she had been born apricot colored I would have put it in the barn name or remarks area. So my question is, does the grey gene cancel the apricot code and make apricot under grey just look like chestnut under grey? I figured because only chestnut prlprl is apricot maybe the coding for that didn't take into consideration the grey gene? (Of course there is also the possibility that this mare was born with the already grayed grey coat pattern and that's why I didn't know she was apricot) |

There is a possibility when she was born she had the coat that looked chestnut but is apricot and you just weren't able to tell because she is grey. I'll see if I can find that coat for you |

That is very likely. I haven't seen anyone else mention it but I also can recall if I've ever seen a grey over apricot horse? (As in the horse is grey but obviously looks apricot as a foal) |

It's probably just super rare.. my first couple of years in the game there were a lot of color breeders but eventually people were more worried about the LBs and eventually all the color breeders either quit or moved onto a different program. When I was color breeding grey was pretty heavily avoided when breeding apricots because you wanted to see as much color as possible even though I was breeding for homozygous so in the nearly 8 years I played idk if I've ever seen a grey apricot foal. . especially lately, HEE is pretty dead so I honestly never expect to see it "again" lol |

I guess I don't understand what the bug is here. Can someone link to an example? |

This filly is apricot under grey but looks to be a regular red dun flaxen. Apricot doesn't seem to show itself on grey horses even as foals. Her actual link and she's color tested Edited at June 16, 2023 01:24 PM by Jacobs Irish Mash |

he isn't tested though. Both parents are apricot but the sire is grey. |
