From the Publisher
Why do horses end up the color they are? The answer to this question lies in genetics. Often, however, horse breeders don¹t explore the probabilities of coat color and markings because the science of genetics seems too complicated. Now this handy guide explains the principles of color inheritance simply and practically so all breeders can make informed decisions. With an abundance of color photos, explanatory diagrams, and charts, Horse Color Explained provides essential information on rare colors, white markings and patterns, coat-color changes, Paint-Horse genetics, mating outcomes, and responsible breeding practices. Jeanette Gower, an authority on color genetics, has more than 25 years of practical experience; she is also a respected judge and equine studies lecturer.
