Gypsy Vanner Moreno Color

Google has failed me. When I try to look up what this color actually is, I get a lot of horse BLOODLINES with the name Moreno, but nothing on the actual color! Can anyone who is wise in the ways of equine genetics help me out here? What the actual heck IS this color!?

Been wondering that myself.

moreno appears to be a horse with the genotype Ee Ata, and looks very similar to a double dilute.

exactly why they are called that (the word itself means brown in spanish) and why they look so much like double creams and champagnes i have no idea, but at least you have the genetics for what it is :P

I noticed the genetics too, but it bothers me that I can't find an actual horse that color on a search. LOL

i found a bunch - that's how i knew the genetics :P

just elect moreno as the color in the horse search (and don't select anything else). there were at least 15 that popped up when i did it, but probably more! :)


edited: oh wait, you mean a REAL horse. yeah. good point. i don't think they exist which is weird.

so i did some more genetics digging, and all horses with the genotypes EEAtAt, EEAta, EeAtAt, and EeAta are all phenotypically identical, and are seal brown.

i've no idea why the one phenotype is weirdly pale on Equiverse when they should really just be brown horses, but i assume there is some reason :P

SO WEIRD!!!

Moreno is what the breed artist referred brown perlino as, so that's what it is in the game. Something is apparently wonky with genotypes, since they're supposed to be double creams.

Ah! I see now! Is it an actual bug then?

We think something's going on in coding, so yes.
I don't personally know how long it will take to find out where it is and fix it.

It isn't a super urgent matter anyway. I was just SUPER curious as to what it was! LOL

I was thinking it was a double cream also, so was a bit disappointed when my moreno mare didn't give me a foal with one cream gene.

@Sarah Badr
It is double cream. There's just a hiccup in the coding somewhere right now.

I'm hoping Abbey fixes that. Seems to only be happening with the browns. I created 3 custom horses that were supposed to be double cream roans but none of them got the cream gene at all. I created double creams in chestnut, black and bay and they all got the double cream gene...

It's specifically something with the browns for some reason. It'll get fixed.
