Sabino 3 is now White Spotting 8
  • First: Why the name change? When sabino 2 and sabino 3 where added to the game the naming convention for new white mutations had not yet been established. It was assumed they would be continuing with the sabino sequence. They did not. All new white mutations at now part of the white spotting (w) sequence. There is no sabino but sabino-1 and our game is being changed to reflect that.

    W8 is a real gene. It was found as a novel mutation in a single Icelandic horse. He may have been the only horse in real life who will have have it.

    W8 in the game is bold, graphic and dotty just like sabino 3 before it, but it is now generating in a more realistic looking fashion while keeping the same spirit as the original generation.

    It comes in a range from low amounts of white to very high white when paired with w20.
  • Where do you conduct most of your research on horse genetics? I really appreciate the depth that you go to maintain realistic looking markings in relation to their mutations. Thank you so much! :)
  • You have to learn to read scientific journal articles. :)
  • Fancy! I did loved how it was before but I think it looks pretty nifty now!
  • Wow. It looks very nice, Ammit. Will the new name be automatically applied to old horses that originally tested as Sb3 or will we have do something to bring it about?

  • I love how this game reflects real life genetics! Thanks Ammit for keeping up to date on this research!
  • I love the new look! Thanks for keeping us updated with the real life genetics stuff. I find it interesting. :)
  • I have been refreshing this morning. Very cool looking W8's. Thanks for making this such a fantastic genetics horse game Ammit!
