Horse colors & patterns

Coloring, white markings, and what is known about coat variation.

THE QUICK ANSWER

The game supports coat variation and white patterns that can be passed to foals. The developers describe a shader-based approach to creating pattern variation.

Variation is part of the design#

In the launch interview, the programmer explains how observing real horse patterns informed the pattern system. This supports describing the art as horse-informed, but does not establish a one-to-one simulation of real genetics.

A catalog needs evidence#

A useful reference needs an in-game name, a clear image, and the version in which it was observed. Until those records are collected, this page intentionally avoids presenting an invented complete list of coats.

What still needs verification

Research note

The full named coat list, pattern parameters, and inheritance probabilities are not verified.

This page reflects official descriptions reviewed on November 6, 2026. It has not been verified against a specific playable build. Suggestions are editorial guidance, not tested outcomes.
