Traits

Name: Flaxen

Base Genotype: ff 

Skin Color: Light

Eyes: Brown

Description: Flaxen affects chestnut horses only and causes the mane and tail to lighten to a bright gold, blonde, or light cream color. Flaxen is recessive, meaning that it will show only if the horse has two "little f's" - two recessive copies. If the horse has (Ff) then they will be a Flaxen carrier. Bay and Black horses can also carry or have hidden flaxen.

 Design Guidance: 

Horses will have a slightly lighter mane and tail at minimum. At the most maximal, their mane and tail would be off-white cream in color, but not pure white. (Must be warm toned.) Liver chestnut horses can also have very contrasting mane and tail, such as the example below.
