Foals

Foals have lighter soft parts. Mane and tail

are typically lighter/flaxen.

The intensity of pangaré can differ strongly between horses. It may lighten the soft parts from a light red to a nearly white color, and in some cases, these pale areas can extend high up the body. It may be a form of countershading to help camouflage horses and protect them from predators.		Adults

Mimics

Since foals usually have lighter soft parts/ points in general because of foal camo, they could be mistaken for pangaré.

Genetics

The genetic mutation that causes pangaré is currently unknown. Research suggests a region regulating the EDN3 gene may be responsible for pangaré.

In our game, Horse Reality, pangaré is caused by the dominant PA-allele of the hidden pangaré gene. For any color we don't know the genetics of yet, we have to come up with something to make it work in-game. Which means working with just observations and theories. Since pangaré isn't testable yet in real life, it also isn't testable in game.
