EE aa/Ee aa (black)
EE/Ee + AA/Aa (bay/brown)
ee + AA/Aa/aa (chestnut) with ee being red with no effect from the A gene
Ww (white)-born white, pink skin, usually brown eyes, WW lethal
Beyond base colours
Roaning (Rn) causes white hair interspersed with the base colour, dominant so must be from 2 Rn parents
Pigment dilution cream (Ccr) causes pigment dilution only to E genes
E + a + CCcr=diluted bay so buckskin colour
ee + CCcr=diluted chestnut so palomino base colour
CcrCcr completely dilutes base colour so cremello colour (normally only from 2 diluted parents)
Black horses can carry Ccr gene

Pasture management
Selective grazers that leave lawns and roughs + cause pugging in standing areas can lead to horse sick pastures

-
Remove manure as no specific latrine area + they will not eat where they have defecated (disadvantage to parasite management + doesn't develop resistance)
