Bay w/ minimal white birdcatcher spots, Dewlap, and Moose Shoulders E/E A/A
Dewlap - A gene recessive to the breeds moose ancestors, this extra flap of skin under the chin is found in many both male and female Thoren. While its true purpose is unknown, there are many possible reasons for the dewlap, called a "Bell" in moose, including scent dispersal, signalling status to potential mates during breeding seasons, and even thermoregulation. Commonly larger in males than in females, the bell only develops after maturity, into the first breeding season.
Moose Shoulders - Another gene from the breeds cousin, moose shoulders have been selectively bred into working Thoren for utility as well as aesthetics. The hulking shoulders of these steeds are an asset to their work in the logging and farming industries, and are considered attractive in sleigh and cart pulling circles. These steeds tend to do less well with riders, as custom made saddles are required for riding disciplines.
