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 🧬🐴
Bay
Bay is one of the base coat colours in horses, alongside chestnut and black. It is defined by a red coat with black points in a wide range of shades.
Gold champagne
Palomino is a horse coat color caused by one copy of the cream dilution acting on a chestnut base. The coat is golden with a creamy or white mane and tail.
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.
