Snowflake isnt what produces large spot appies ; there are several genes involved for that including Dp, Appaloosa Spot regulator , possibly Halo, and some others
what exactly are you looking for ?

I breed for snowflake , so yes i have both mares and stallions ; just as an FYI its 15 GMT for het snow on foundations and 30 GMT's for HOM snowflake on foundations ; its not a "cheap" process
any 2g HOM snowflakes would not be leaving my barns lol , what generation are you looking for ?
this is a "no blanket" app that is 4g hom snowflake

this is a large blanket HOM snowflake 4g :

as you can see the snowflake gives white "flecks" to the colored part of the body but has nothing to do with the size of the appy spots in the blanket

your best bet is to breed your 2g het's and only keep the 3g HOM's that they throw.

are they red or B papered ? I dont know what you mean by "Stats"?

Oh by stats I look at pt, paper, genes (I'm weak in that though), generations, how much longer are they likely to live, average foal score. I'm never sure whether I am looking at information I need or just information it would be nice to have. As for paper, I try to neuter any yellow, but my leopards seem to like to show up yellow. And since I can't predict from the foal how it will do, I'm afraid it gets pretty automatically neutered or auctioned.

Are you looking for sno the cream gene or snowflake, the appy gene?

the 2 I posted are Snowflake appys .......

"Snowflake" doesn't appear in the horse's color name so you have to search using the dropdown menus under the white markings tab like in this search:

Also, snowflake varnish will only show when it's homozygous and the horse also has at least one copy of appaloosa.

Just a note to clarify: snowflake varnish is completely different from snowdrop pearl. And in case the large spots you were asking about were the ones on Harvest Moon posted above, that's not appy, that's phantom apples.

Ha! Yes, there are a lot of white horses at the beginning of appy searches because the oldest ones show first and they're all pretty much varnished out. I often skip to the end and start browsing backwards to see the younger horses first.

Aww he's scrumptious.
Now that I can see what snowflake does, what does Sno do? I've got a few but if no pattern is going to show, I might as well sell.

Snowdrop (sno) creates a creamy pearl like color on the coat. Similar to Pearl and Sunshine (sun).

The spots on my stud are from Phantom Apple

Ahh, Thank you.

I just now got unenthusiastic about breeding sno lol. Looks like what I actually wanted was snowflake. Didn't realize they were two totally different effects. I'll have to see what i can accomplish.
