Hey Let's Have a Contest! Who's Got the Horse With the Most Colors?
  • Confluence's comments on my crazy ice nexus horse gave me an idea.

    Post a horse with lots of colors. Can be any gender, altered or intact. Add up his or her points, according to the rarity of his or her colors, as follows:
    Black, Chestnut or Bay without Cream, Dun or Champagne: 1 point
    Brown or Wild Bay (also sable champagne, buttermilk buckskin, etc)(At or A+): 2 points
    Cream (Ccr_): 2 points
    Perlino, Cremello, Smoky Creme or other double dilute cream (CcrCcr): 6 points
    Pearl (Cprl_): 5 points
    Homozygous pearl (CprlCprl): 8 points
    Dun (DD or Dd): 2 points
    Champagne (ChCh or Chch): 2 point
    Gray (GG or Gg): 1 point
    Flaxen (ff): 1 point
    Sooty (SStyS or SstySsty): 1 point
    Sooty+ (S+S or S+Ssty): 9 points
    Homozygous Sooty+ (S+S+): 12 points
    Pangare (pp): 1 point
    Silver (Zz or ZZ): 2 points
    Roan (KitrKit_): 2 points
    Tobiano (KittoKit_): 3 points
    White 1 (KitwKit_): 3 points
    White 2 (Kitw2Kit_)3 points
    White 3 (Kitw3Kit_): 5 points
    White 4 (Kitw4Kit_): 8 points
    Sabino1 (Kits1Kit_): 5 points
    Sabino2 (Kits2Kit_): 5 points
    Sabino3 (Kits3Kit_) 12 points
    Splash (SpsS or SpsSps): 2 points
    Splash2 (PAX3C70Y): 5 points
    Splash3 (Sps3S_): 10 points
    Appy (Llp_): 3 points
    Homozygous Snowflake (must be visible, not testable): 10 points
    Leopard (all over spots, no solid areas): 8 points
    Rabicano (RbR or RbRb): 3 points
    Frame (Olw): 2 points
    Homozygous GP (must be in GP club): 15 points
    Homozygous KP (must be in KP club): 15 points
    Homozygous Satin (sasa): 15 points
    Ice1: 10 points
    Ice2: 15 points
    Ice8: 10 points
    Nexus: 10 points
    Homozygous Nexus: 15 points
    DP: 8 points (must be visible or provable by parents or offspring with liver, or liver/chocolate in their name or obvious DP).
    Brindle (Chimeric Positive): 10 points
    (hope I didn't miss anything, if I did let me know and I'll edit)

    Post up to 5 horses (1 per post).

    I'll run this till rollover next Saturday. I thought it'd be fun.

    I'll put together a customized prize package for the winner that includes 5 straws, 2 eggs if they can use them (or more straws if not), and a really nice colt from this year's crop depending on what they are breeding for. There may be consolation prizes and prizes just for participating too, so don't be shy if you don't have the wildest colored horses in the game. Let's see YOUR loudest pony.

    *puts on the 3D glasses* Go!
  • http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=424127. I absolutely love this sabino 3 cheers was so kind to let me buy. She doesn't have tons of other bells and wisells but I was so happy for a flashy draft. :-) 12 points
  • http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=418755 this guy is cool. No money to color test right now. But nexus 10 pts
  • I think you can safely say bay, dun, and splash. And homozygous nexus is 15 points, so that's 20 points, all told. :) There's even a chance of DP, but there's no way to test that. :(
  • Is a horse eligible for points for flaxen even if he's black based, and a chestnut eligible for silver, and such?
    Also, I've never figured out how pangere works. I know it's a lightening around the face and parts of the underside of the barrel, but is it dominant, or incompletely dominant, or what? :P
    And are there any points for heterozygous satin? And I think you missed Sty+. :)
    Aaaaand since you said 'black, chestnut, or bay without cream, dun, or champagne', does that mean you can't count an unusual bay if a horse is cream, run, or champagne? And since you mention some homozygousies and not others, should we not count each individual gene if a horse is Hz for dun, cream, or grey, to name a few?

  • Way to go cheers! Lol
  • Thanks Hidden! I think I have some higher points in the show herd, but I knew where this guy was!
  • Oh, and Hidden--your draft filly is 23 points.

    Brown 2
    Sooty 1
    Sabino 3--12
    DP (sire is homozygous for DP) 8
    23
  • EDIT: I think I have a good one, should be 38 points, still not sure because of the pangare. I removed the sooty.
    9U Vested Vine : http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=391147
    Black = 1
    Pearl = 5
    Dun = 2
    Pangare = 1
    White 4 = 8
    Tobiano = 3
    Rabicano = 3
    In KP Club = 15
    Total = 38 points
    EE aa CprlCprl DD gg ff SS pP Kitw4Kitto Rbrb WF: Light He is also in the KP Club.
  • Would prob be helpful if you itemize the way Cheers did. Enjoying seeing them!
  • I think I added mine wrong. So, I may have to re figure, and withdraw them.
  • Nah just recalculate.
  • I think I may have done a couple of booboo's when I calculated them. I will recalculate, but have a couple of fuzzy areas. :\">
    Does SS count as Sooty points? And if the color is in the name but, they are heterozygous do they still get points for that color, or only homozygous? And last question, the colors that don't have the gene, like KP and GP, do we need to state they are in the club?
    I only want to put in one entry, (the best of my three.) But I am not sure how to delete the other two posted entries. :\">
  • I clarified as much as I could with gene combos. SS means no sooty. Hetero is okay for dominant genes. And I added S+, how could I forget that? I made it worth 9 so that S+Ssty was worth 10, that make sense?

    I'm not real sure about Pangare myself, is it recessive? Someone clarify that for me.

    Paints if you want to delete just edit the post and put Deleted.
    Thanked by 1PaintsStables
  • Maybe, at the bottom of your post, put Word Count: how many WORDS are in your horse's color name. That might be fun too.
  • And yeah, please itemize. I don't want to have to check your math. @-)
  • http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=301303

    Champagne (2), cream (2), silver (2), splash (2), frame (2), tobiano (3), appy (3), roan (2), dun (2), gray (1), rabicano (3), sooty (1). 23 points if I count it right
    understand the significance of signatures
  • this looks like fun, now I have to go look at all my horses lol
  • Thanks Abbey, I will recalculate on my 1 guy and repost, then delete the othe two.
  • <<<Is a horse eligible for points for flaxen even if he's black based, and a chestnut eligible for silver, and such?>>>
    No.

    <<<Also, I've never figured out how pangere works. I know it's a lightening around the face and parts of the underside of the barrel, but is it dominant, or incompletely dominant, or what? >>>
    Need an assist on this one.

    <<<And are there any points for heterozygous satin? And I think you missed Sty+. >>>
    No.. I skipped it because we're going for visible, the same way GP and KP are, it's just that you can test for satin. So anything recessive only counts if hetero/visible. So it's possible frame shouldn't count unless it's got something to act on, but I didn't want to get too nitpicky. Thanks for the S+ catch.

    <<<Aaaaand since you said 'black, chestnut, or bay without cream, dun, or champagne', does that mean you can't count an unusual bay if a horse is cream, run, or champagne? >>>
    Yeah, you can. I'll update the description.

    <<<And since you mention some homozygousies and not others, should we not count each individual gene if a horse is Hz for dun, cream, or grey, to name a few>>>
    No... I counted homozygous genes if there is some visible difference homozygous vs hetero. By that standard I probably missed a few, notably liver and maybe grey. But on everything but chestnut it's reallllly hard to tell if DP is het or hmz, so I didn't include the difference. Where I should've probably included it is double cream. I will update.

    Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms
  • Definitely not, Rose! I just was able to profit from the breeding efforts of other, more experienced breeders!!! That girl is lined back to Dark Star, Abbey Road, Evanescent and Ammit breeding...they did all the hard work!
    Thanked by 1RoseFlute
  • I'm with Rose! *tosses towel into the ring* :p

  • I've been looking in my barns, but only have found this guy so far. He has a 6 word color name, but doesn't really have a lot of stuff to get enough points to pass Cheer's horse, lol. I'm just putting him up here so you can see him. (Hope I've done this right.)

  • I wanted to play. Prize to the person who can guess my highest scoring pony's total, or closest to it.

    I'm also giving prizes by era, because it doesn't seem fair to compare an era 3 and an era 0.

    Don't be shy and don't throw in the towel... I got stuff to give away.
  • Since I know I'll never have the one with the most colors but still want to play... I'll guess 65 for yours Abbey
  • I'll guess 75, then. If she says it's still not high enough, I'll faint then and there. :P
  • 67 for most colorful :-)
  • Surely someone has a horse with more words in its color? There are foundations with more words than have already been posted.
  • Lol... I think I sold my most words in the color name horse. My guess on Abbey's most points is 73. :)
  • I think Abbeys most points is 42...the meaning of life.
