It's egg hunting season and this time you get to dye your own. Satin, all Rainbow Riot, and all Nexus genes are available until the 15th of the month. Toner and Ink Spot are available until the end of the month. Make an amazing colored "egg"? Post it below and let's see what folks make. I will send a 500k hb prize to whoever makes the one myself, Haystack, and our artist Jenx deem to be the prettiest.

In addition to the prior rainbow releases, I have also created a new gene:

Rainbow Riot 2



The prior rainbow riot gene was getting too crowded so this second one will allow you to stack up to 4 RR mutations onto a single horse. The new alleles are Toner, a subtle undertone shifter, and Ink Spot, a pigment-density dependent splash of color.



image
Toner adjusts the undertones of a horse's color. It only shows on diluted pigment. Creams, duns, pangare, champagne, and other colors that show diluted pigment will have a wash of random color in the dilute area. This two-tone wash from legs to the spine can even create subtle gradients of color. Keep in mind Tonner is often subtle. When it shifts warm shades like red, yellow and orange you may not see much change. Cool shades like green and purple are more obvious. Non dilute colors like black and dark chestnuts will NOT show toner at all. Double creams will show full pastel colors.

Here is a liver chestnut P+ showing how the liver chestnut area has no color shift and the diluted area shows a rosy pink.
image

This bay horse has purple shifting on it's legs and some orange shifting on the belly but it is mostly hidden by the dark color.
image

This dark brown shows a subtle shift on the belly to purple.
image

Yellow shifting on brown is more dramatic.
image

This sable champagne shows a lot of tone shift.
image

Same horse as above with purple legs and teal shifted upper.
image

On a blue (black) onyx the dark areas stay dark but the light areas show color.
image

No tone shift is obvious on this black. Remember dilution is REQUIRED.
image

This sooty plus bay dun is orange-shifted and looks like a supersaturated bay.
image

The same horse blue-shifted looks more grullo than bay.
image

While normally you will see nothing on black P+ blacks can show toning.
image

Toner works spectacularly on chinchilla horses resulting in beautiful ultra-vivid gradient colors like on this bay.
image


A note on watercolor! Toner can be combined with watercolor for some beautiful effects but watercolor is very strong and can completely hide toner. Add it with watercolor carefully and stick to horses with dark darks and light lights for the best results. Here it is with a dilute onyx.
image

Here is that same vivid bay chinchilla from before with watercolor.
image


Link to all Toner horses on this server.


----

image
Ink Spot adds pigment-density dependent splashes of a random color onto a horse. It is NOT a marking, it is a shift in the color of a horse's pigment. That means pale/diluted horses will have less intense color spots than darker horses.

Here is Ink Spot on a cream champagne showing the dilution.
image

On a double dilute it vanishes completely.
image

On a full-color horse like this liver chestnut the color explodes and is super vivid and can even have multiple brightnesses as it interacts with different pigment layers.
image

and here on a bay.
image

Notice how the black pigment is being interacted on separately from the red pigment. That is what creates the multiple shades.
image

Toner can interact with watercolor but it is often hidden. Notice how the yellow inkspots on this bay water color are largely hidden on this blue shifting.
image

Depending on the color mix it might be subtle...
image

Or even totaly hidden
image

The more dilute the base the more other things like watercolor and toner will hide ink spot.
image

With vivids like this black, it can be pretty bold even with watercolor.
image

Link to all Toner horses on this server.


So can you combine toner and ink spot together? YES! And they were created to do so but like with watercolor and toner you need a horse with dark darks and diluted dilute on the same horse for the best effect. In general, though be prepared to do a good deal of rerolling. Onyx and P+ are probably solid bets to combine with this. Brown and sable champ also seem to work well. Black-based Chinchilla seems to show it well.

Because of the intense interaction complexity of these genes, I am willing to do a limited number of requests for examples of specific base colors. Please posts those requests on the example request post when I make it. Not here.



If you create or breed any horses with these genes please post your favorites before for a chance to enter for the cash prize!

I have noticed some INCREDIBLY long signatures on some posts. You do not need to list every license you own. ANYONE can go to your Member Home page and open the link titled "xx/xx Owned Closed Gene Licenses" and see which ones you have. If you really must do so; it IS possible to list a few of your gene licenses in one or two lines.

Same thing goes for what you breed for. You do not have to list every detail, or every variation. A basic description works just fine. Body type, main color and one or two different markings is enough to get the idea across.

You are welcome to post a saying, or idea that you feel is important, or that you want to share, but again...keep it short.

Do NOT put more than one space between the lines of your signatures.

Artwork is great, but keep it reasonable as well, it does not need to take up more than 3 or 4 lines

Do NOT put in lines of *****'s, or @~'s, or :)'s all they do is take up space and they are not necessary.

A good rule of thumb is, if your signature takes up more than twice the space your message takes up, it is probably too long!

You SHOULD put your stable ID# in there, so people can look you up easily.

PonPon! What are you DOING?
Where are you going with all those… are those EGGS?
image

PonPon is up to mischief again!
He has hidden THOUSANDS of eggs.
He got REALLY sneaky, though, and only hid them in the Archives!
We need your help to find them all!

Green eggs are worth 1 point.
image
Yellow eggs are worth 3 points.
image
Red eggs are worth 5 points.
image

The person with the most points on April 15th will win fabulous prizes!

How it works:
1. Go to the Search page.
2. Set the owner ID to 8.
3. Click on the box that says Archived
4. Click Search.

Open the horses page to see if they are in cahoots with PonPon, and are hiding eggs for him.
When you find an egg, you will need to copy the link for that horse and post it on this thread.
(If you want to be really helpful you could keep a running total of eggs found on each new post!)

ONLY the first person to post a specific horse will earn the points.

You have to post the picture link to the horse.

Pangare Plus


image
The first is the new Pangare Plus. Like Sooty Plus, Pangere Plus is a variant form of the normal pangare allele. It causes the lightening of red pigment on the horse's muzzle and underbelly. It shows on horses with bay or chestnut base colors. It only requires one copy to show but shows better with two copies.

It can be purchased through the end of the month via the RGS and has joined the normal RGS rotation.

Examples in search

Phantom Shamrock


image
Shamrock is our latest phantom gene. It requires pinto markings to show and can be hidden by appaloosa markings. It is a mix of three leaf clovers and rare four-leaf clovers to hunt for.

It can be purchased through the end of the month via the RGS.

Pon Pon wandered in from the pasture with a 4 leafed clover, so the center square is a freebie!
Your horse can have other genes, of course, but ONE horse has to have ALL the genes in the row.
image
Each winning card/horse per day will be given one point.

Here is all the work that has been done.

Removed Features:
  • You can no longer breed all your pastures at once, just entire barns at a time. All at once was causing hung sessions and confusion because the system could not handle all at once for larger barns.
  • The old navigation system that pulled horses into the pasture from the pasture page has been removed. This causes problems for larger barns and contributed to hung sessions.


Here is a list of what improvements have been made:
  • Instead of one email per year for all of your pastures, you will get an email for EACH of your pastures the first time you breed that pasture for the season.
  • The pasture page now tells you if you will receive an email beforehand.
  • Pastures will now tell you how many breedable stallions are in the pasture in addition to how many breedable mares.
  • Pastures can no longer make your account have negative HBs.
  • Pastures will inform you if you had any foals with lethal conditions.
  • Pastures will now tell you how many breedable stallions are in the pasture in addition to how many breedable mares.
  • Pastures will only show you the breed button if you have the money, breedable studs, and breedable mares to do so.
  • Pasture loading is now asynchronous. The whole page loads first and then it loads in the horses in the pasture one by one. This will help prevent hung sessions.
  • Horses in pastures will now show their genetic testing results for easier sorting.
  • Pasture foal display has been massively improved.
  • Moving horses into and between pastures now works the same as barns with the ability to mass select mares, stallions, or foals.
  • Optimization mode will now hide image thumbnails in pastures to help with bandwidth usage and load speeds.
  • Moving horses between barns and pastures has had significant speed and stability improvements.


Improvements I am still working on:
  • I am working to get true auto breeding (without login) back and working. I expect this next week sometime.
  • The actual action of breeding the pasture still needs to be made asynchronous to help prevent hung sessions. Again I expect this next week sometime.


Pastures have a huge sale going on right now so make sure and stock up to take advantage of all these new updates.
