This trait is attached to horses that Carry Flaxen.
Flaxen is a lightening of the mane and tail, giving a blonde appearance.
Flaxen is recessive; a horse needs to be homozygous with two copies of the gene (ff) for it to be visible.
Flaxen also only shows on Chestnut-based (ee) coats. Horses with (E_) will not express Flaxen.

A heterozygous carrier with only one copy of the gene (nf) will not express Flaxen.

Genotype: nf, or ff on a E_ base
Locus:  Not shared with any known genes
Horses with 'nf' will be noted as 'Carrying Flaxen' but will not show the gene.

Expression of carried Flaxen:

• Coat: Not affected.
• Mane and Tail: Not affected.
• Skin: Not affected.
• Eyes: Not affected.
• Hooves: Not affected.

This trait is attached to horses that Carry Filigree.
Filigree is a white marking that appears as elegant swirls that branch out of other white markings, including free white.

Filigree is recessive; a horse needs to be homozygous with two copies of the gene (fefe) for it to be visible.
A carrier with only one copy of the gene (nfe) will not express Filigree.

Genotype: nfe
Locus:  Not shared with any known genes
Horses with 'nfe' will be noted as 'Carrying Filigree' but will not show the gene.

Expression of heterozygous (carried) Filigree:

• Coat: Not affected.
• Mane and Tail: Not affected.
• Skin: Not affected.
• Eyes: Not affected.
• Hooves: Not affected.

This trait is attached to horses that Carry Ether.
Ether is a base coat dilution that causes a silvery-blue to purplish tone throughout the coat.

Ether is recessive; a horse needs to be homozygous with two copies of the gene (erer) for it to be visible.
A carrier with only one copy of the gene (ner or Cher) will not express Ether.

Genotype: ner
Locus:  Not shared with any known genes
Horses with 'ner' or 'Cher' will be noted as 'Carrying Ether' but will not show the gene.

Expression of heterozygous (carried) Ether:

• Coat: Not affected.
• Mane and Tail: Not affected.
• Skin: Not affected.
• Eyes: Not affected.
• Hooves: Not affected.

This trait is attached to horses that Carry Pearl.
Pearl is a base coat dilution that causes a shiny warm saturated brown color throughout the coat.

Pearl is recessive; a horse needs to be homozygous with two copies of the gene (prlprl) for it to be visible.
A carrier with only one copy of the gene (nprl) will not express Pearl.

Genotype: ner
Locus:  Shared with Cr and Tp; horses with 'Crprl' are Cream Pearl. Horses with 'Tpprl' are Tapestry Pearl.
Horses with 'nprl' will be noted as 'Carrying Pearl' but will not show the gene.

Expression of heterozygous (carried) Pearl:

• Coat: Not affected.
• Mane and Tail: Not affected.
• Skin: Not affected.
• Eyes: Not affected.
• Hooves: Not affected.
