Texas Cattle Horses are a very popular breed amongst ranchers and western riders. They are known to have a perfect temperament for herding cattle, as well as great stamina and average speed. They are preferred for western riding and are perfectly fit for ranch work and trail riding, though some english riders recently started to be interested in this breed.
The Texas Cattle Horse's height range is 14-16hh, with an average weight of 1000 lbs. They have a lot of ancestry in common with Missouri Fox Trotters and share their sturdy and graceful build.

Texas Cattle Horses come in many coats, some of which are specific to this breed. Different levels of rarity are used, and adopts with higher levels of rarity may only be ordered as imports, bred or rarely found as free adopts.

common: chestnut (ee __), bay (E_ A_), black (E_ aa), tobiano (To_), overo (Oo), flaxen (ff), splash (Spl_), grey (G_), varnish roan (Lp_)
uncommon: seal (E_ At_), wild bay (E_ A+_), silver (Z_), sooty (Sty_), cream (Cr_), pangare/mealy (pp), rabicano (Rb_), roan (Rn_), champagne (Ch_), dun (D_), blanket appaloosa (Lplp), snowcap appaloosa (LpLp), leopard/semi leopard appaloosa (Lplp PATN1__), fewspot appaloosa (LpLp PATN1__), birdcatcher spots (__ + bc spots), grease spots (__ + grs)
rare: pearl (prlprl), sabino (Sb_), somatic (__ + somatic), gulastra plume (__ + g plume), reverse dapples (__ + reverse dapples)
very rare/special occasions, imports & breedings only: chimerism (geno 1 / geno 2), manchado (mama), peacock appaloosa (Lplp)

Notes: pangare/mealy is not testable in real life yet. In TCH, it is a recessive gene that will only show as "pp" - Pp carriers may pass down the gene, but will not show it.
PATN2 is not a real gene, but it may be used at artist's discretion in TCH and shown as a "+ PATN2" annotation at the end of the genotype. It has a 50% chance of passing down in breedings.
KIT genes do not apply to TCH.
nd1/nd2 count as dun, and have the same rarity level, however it must stay rarer than regular dun.
Non genetic markings pass at 20%, except for somatic mutation which can be rolled for in all breedings and has a 3% chance of occuring.
Dominant white does not exist in TCH - it is replaced by Charolais white, see breed specific markings for more info.

Breed Specific Genes:

Jersey Chestnut
Dilution that only affects chestnut based coats. The points are paler than the base coat, similar to regular pangare. the knees and end of the tail are darker than the base coat, either dark brown or black. May cause dapples. Shows as JcJc or Jcjc.

Holstein Tobiano
Marking similar to regular tobiano. The back is always of the base color, and the belly and legs are always white. There are often base color spots inside the white markings. Show as HtoHto or Htohto.

Charolais White
Marking that causes the horse to be fully white, with pink skin. Different from the regular dominant white, as two of these can be bred together safely. Shows as ChwChw or Chwchw

Classic Speckled
Marking that looks just like the Speckle Park cow's markings. White topline and underline, and edges like a sabino or an appaloosa marking. If paired with Lp, the markings extend further on the shoulders and back on top of varnish roan. Shows as spsp - Spsp carriers do not show the pattern, but may pass the gene.

Hereford Splash
Marking similar to splash, makes the face and belly fully white. The inside and bottom of the legs may be white too, but it always stays minimal. Shows as HsplHspl or Hsplhspl.

Belted:
Marking similar to the Belted Galloway's. Thick white band on the barrel of the horse, that doesn't affect the legs like tobiano would. Shows as BgBg or Bgbg.

Stats

Each TCH has three stats: temperament, obedience and conformation - these will be used in competitions in the future. Temperament & obedience can be improved in competitions, by writing about or drawing your TCH. Conformation is an unchangable stat percentage decided upon TCH creation. Regular adopts may not have conformation under 90% - non-standard heights and wavy manes & tails (custom) will decrease conformation by 10%. Light feathering will decrease conformation by 5% - TCHs may not have any other type of feathering. Inbreeding will be punished by dividing the foal's base conformation percentage by 2.
Temperament and obedience will be used in regular competitions, which will be based on artistic expressions such as writing and drawing. Conformation will be used in halter shows, which will bring more points to temperament and obedience, but will also be heavily based on rng.
