Guide to (Un)Official CS Horse Names {OUTDATED}

[Eventer 4 Ever]

I'll have to diasgree on the 3/4 blanket spotted, there's no such thing.
Check this guy out:

This is a blue roan POA (pony of the americas) from another site I play, Horseisle 2.
This game is very realistic and has very accutare horse colors. They refer to him as a blue roan, mind you this is not a typical blue roan, but for the POA/Appaloosa breeds (which are very similar) this coloring can be fairly common in these breeds.

Also, the last horse is neither fleabitten or few spot. I'd have to go with a chestnut speckled leopard.

The tobiano snowflake I'll agree on, seeing as how I've never seen anything similar to this aside from this picture:

I'll also agree with the pintaloosa, considering that he has a slight roaning to him, those "brindle" marks may appear, but they're not really brindle marks, more like a collection of dark hairs on the roan, similar to a fleabite(as in the fleabitten grey color), whereas brindle marknigs are caused by chimeric twins, meaning 2 twins that never seperate. (cool fun fact, on a brindle horse the base and the stripes have 2 completely different sets of DNA!)

Lastly I'll have to disagree on the manchados too the markings aren't right, the manchado would have less jagged edges to its markings, and more of a round spotted pattern.

I really hate to sound mean or nasty, and don't think I'm trying to, just putting in my opinion xD

The blue horses just don't look like any horse pattern that I know of. There are some similarities to the appaloosa patterns, yet they are "off." The closest the blues come to any real horse is the discoloration that can happen after a fungal infection. See this page - scroll all the way down.

I wouldn't completely discount Manchado, but it's certainly unexpected. There are Manchados also on that page linked above. It looks closer to Manchado + Sabino, which you can see in the blog post below. But this color pattern has only been documented in a few unrelated horses in Argentina - no where else in the world. So, they are still not understood.

Blanket, Sabino, Tobiano, and Splashed White are indeed names of real horse patterns, however those horses do not look like the suggested pattern names. Blanket is the only one that refers to an appaloosa-type pattern. The other three are pinto patterns. You can see examples of all four patterns at this link (you may have to do some scrolling): http://www.whitehorseproductions.com/ecg_basics3.html#pinto


This horse is indeed a tobiano (a type of pinto) pattern. The base color may be silver dapple or dapple gray which happens to be very dark. The factors that would help determine which base color is under the tobiano pattern are being 'colored over' by the white. Knowing the colors of the parents would help, but since this is a graphic that's reaching a bit. xD The term snowflake in this case refers to the fact that the dappling looks like snowflakes instead of the more common round-ish shape of dapples. While the same word, it is completely different genetically and in appearance than a snowflake appaloosa.


This horse is a varnish roan appaloosa.


This horse is a "pintaloosa." This horse's pattern is a combination of the tobiano pattern and the blanket appaloosa pattern. If anybody is as geeky as me, here's some of the latest research: http://equinetapestry.com/2012/05/26/leopards-cat-tracks-and-beltons-part-1/


This horse is a few spot leopard appaloosa. This is the form the leopard pattern often takes when it is homozygous instead of heterozygous. There tend to be fewer, smaller spots over the body, while they maintain color "patches" on the lower legs, and in the "armpits" (not an official equine anatomy term). Both of the horses at the following links are few spots (genetically), even though they look different: http://www.theequinest.com/images/few-spot.jpg and http://www.tolleperformancehorses.com/uploads/100_0945.jpg Here is more information on homozygous (few spot) appaloosas: http://equinetapestry.com/2011/09/27/homozygous-appaloosas/

And even more geekiness about appaloosa patterns:

I think the Daft Punk horses are more like Tron horses (especialy since they only come in the colours that the characters in the Tron books/movies/TV show) green=medic yellow=CLU orange=evil blue/white/teal=good guys and ISO's

So Daft punk horses can also be refered to as Tron horses

[Minimanta]

Yulynh confirmed they are based on Daft Punk^^

I agree with you on the names of each of the horses' colours. I've been researching the basics of horse genetics and I've been around/ riding for a long time. Those sites have some great info too!

Sorry to burst that bubble, but yes there is a 3/4 Spotted Appaloosa. Here's the pic/link...

As for the others, I still stand with Pintaloosa, Few Spotted Appaloosa and Tobiano Snowflake.

Daft Punk horses are store horses, right?

These horses were a monthly release from September 2011.
