Traits

Base Genotype: LPLP (no PATN, single PATN, or two PATNPATN)

Skin Color: Solid or mottled where leopard spotting touches skin.

Eyes: Brown or Blue

Description: One copy of LP by itself is the switch that flips on any "patn" genes present, and allows them to be expressed. 

• If there are no patn genes present, then the horse exhibits "Varnish Roan" - a type of roan that causes white hairs to grow in over the course of the horse's life, and is generally unstable (similar to grey). Varnish roan may cover the entire body, face, and legs, or be rather faint and patchy.
• If one patn gene is present, the horse exhibits a strong frosting of white hairs known as a "snowcap" that starts at the rump and can cover from the rump to the shoulders at maximum. Snowcaps will occasionally have very small spots of base coat visible through them, but should primarily be solid white with frosted out edges. (Unlike blanket markings, which have crispy edges and can have large spots.) These horses may have lighter vanish roaning over their body, which can also feature small spots if desired. 
• If two copies of the patn gene is present, the horse is a "Fewspot" and the entire body is white, with small spots that reveal the base coat beneath the white. These spots should mostly not exceed the size of the horses eye.
