- It's that time of the year again, the Hippocampus Trotters have once again gotten stuck in the autumn marsh!
This mare sports a new marking, even!
Based on the juvenile Pinnate Spadefish, this marking creates a bright yellow-orange outline of the horse starting from the nose all the way around to the legs. It does not fully outline the horse, the chest, underside of the neck and head will never show the marking. It does, however, give a sort of mustache to the horse on the upper lip! It does not color the mane or tail, but on the hippocampus it does color the spines. Markings such as sooty, roan or other white markings will show over this one. There is no notable difference between homozygous or heterozygous types. (Senzeal Aquarium's Pinterest ref used.)
Pinnate - JspJsp / Jspjsp (u)
This mare also shows the bright, sometimes spooky Eye Glow! This bright glow is emitted from the eyes of the horse, and while all hippocampus' have glowing eyes, some have shown to have a much brighter glow than others. This has shown to pass to other horses, hippocampus or not! Eye glow is considered an rare trait, seeing as even the hippocamps' don't all have such a bright gaze! It does not appear in those with heterochromia. Eye Glow is a dominant trait and will override heterochromia.
As with all Hippocamps, it's raffle time!
