Making horse coat genetics easy for everyone
From chestnut to champagne, every horse tells a story written in its genes. We love bringing those stories to life through research and clear visuals. Discover the science behind every coat 🧬🐴
Genetics Chapter 1: Genes
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of genes, chromosomes, and how they are passed on from parents to offspring.
Bay non-dun1
Chestnut non-dun1 (or nd1) is a horse color caused by nd1 on a chestnut base. Primitive markings are present.
We believe horse coat genetics should be easy to understand. Through developing our game Horse Reality, we dove into the world of equine genetics and discovered how fascinating (and complex) they can be. Some genes create breathtaking colors, while others might carry risks. By sharing what we've learned, we hope to help horse lovers not only appreciate the beauty of coat genetics but also build awareness of the risks behind them. This understanding helps us care for our horses better and make more responsible choices for them.
