What is belton?
Belton spotting is a new hypothetical gene based on a real-life phenotype in horses called belton spotting. There is a link between belton spotting and white marking suppression. It also seems to have a link to the tobiano gene. The exact mechanisms are unknown.

I have added to the game a gene called "pigment density regulator" with the allele Bl (for belton). Horses with the Bl allele will have reduced white markings and freckles of pigment breaking through their white markings. Hom. belton has more freckles than het. The presence of tobiano increases the number of freckles and hom. tobiano has an even great impact.

It only creates freckles into pinto markings but because it increases pigment density it does have an impact on appy markings wich are pigment density sensitive.

Belton has no restrictions or licenses.

How do you get it?
Belton can now be purchased for 5 USD a copy. It can also be obtained via the GMT lab for five tokens a copy. If you are very lucky you can create a copy. Belton spotting is pretty darn rare in real life, so it is not very common in random creates.


Here is a link to all the horses on this server with belton.



Here are a few pre-generated examples as well if you are interested.
