Sooo i made i big mistake..
i FINALLY got a 2nd gen snowflake egg, and i was feeling a little giddy and slightly impatient so i used my HETERO snowflake stud, and, well..

bOOM.

Mantes Wolfgang 4G

He is HETERO SNOWFLAKE. i mean, yeah, he's really pretty.. but i spent so much money, and a lot of time looking for the right mare.. im just a little sad. I could always GM him homo, right? (Since both parent carry snowflake) Does anyone know how much it would cost, and/or what alleles i would even change to make him homo?

UPDATE: it must have been a bug or somethin' cause i tried the breeding club two times, and no horses showed up under snowflake, but i left and when i came back and tried again, it said that this pretty boy is in fact in the snowflake breeders club! <:-P now all i gotta do is change his size in the GMT Lab and he will be perfect for my new lines! ♡

For lined horses it only costs 1 gmt to add or remove something! The reason why is because you can only gmt on what the parents have. However...snowflake isn't in the gmt lab, so I don't think you can gmt it on at all at the moment. There may be a sale later on for it but until then, I don't think you can.

Seriously? Dang. I could have sworn that it was a gene that (if present in the parents) could easily be accessed and GMed. Well, i guess he is still really pretty, and he'll make a good stud either way. Thank you very much for telling me!

I think it'd probably be to stop those gmting a restricted gene onto a horse that they bought that didn't have it. Otherwise it'd be easy for some people to buy a horse from a nacre parent who didn't get the nacre gene, and then gmt it on so that they could then breed it.

Thats true, i never really thought about it like that. I have one more question: (its kind of a general genetics question, im just not that good at it lol) say i were to breed that hetero colt with a hetero snowflake filly, would the foal have a 50/50 chance of being hetero/Homo, or would it be just hetero?

ObsidianKitsune · May 15, 2018 6:14 AM

If you can, looking up punnet squares and practicing them would help a lot! Basically the cross would be like this: S=snowflake s=not

Ss + Ss = SS, Ss, sS, ss. Which means the foal has a 1/4 chance of being hom, 1/2 chance of being het, and 1/4 chance of not getting the gene at all. That is always the chance depicted of two het's being crosses.

Hom and het: SS + Ss = SS, SS, Ss, Ss, which means 1/2 chance hom, 1/2 chance het.

Um, I think he's hom snowflake. Have you tried to register him in the breeder's club? Only hom ones can be

MariaChapinFarm3 · May 15, 2018 6:36 AM

Wait, what the heck. Oh my gosh. Okay im crying even more, but these are good tears; i swear, i checked like two times, and no horses came up. I checked right after you commented, and he is hom snowflake. It must have been a bug or somethin'. Thank you sooo much @DevilsParadise! If it wasnt for you, i wouldnt have checked a third time :D

ObsidianKitsune · May 15, 2018 7:29 AM

Woohoo, wtg! Always good to double and sometimes triple check xD

DevilsParadise · May 15, 2018 9:33 PM
