Appearance

Shroud causes distinctly shaped countershading, generally starting from the spine/topline of the horse and reaching downwards. Shroud can be very simple or mimic more intricate countershading patterns found in nature, such as those seen on wolves, coyotes, goats, etc. Shroud should never mimic wild camouflage patterns however, such as antelope stripes, leopard spots, or similar.

The shroud markings can be multiple different shades that are black or darker than the coat.

It can optionally have lighter accents around the markings or covering the underside/belly of the horse.

The edges of the shroud markings can be both soft/blurry and sharp/clear, and even have a jagged look mimicing the appearance of long fur.

Both shroud markings and the light shroud accents can optionally affect mane and tail.

Always goes below white patterns.

Minimum requirement:

  • Distinct countershading (darker, optionally with light accents) somewhere on the body.

Minimum requirements can be reduced or completely removed by the occlusion trait.

Allowed:

  • Can optionally affect mane and tail where it touches.
  • Can have soft or sharp edges, or a mix of both.
  • Can have jagged edges mimicking the appearance of fur.

Not allowed:

  • Can not appear overly spotty or striped, should look like wild animal countershading.

Eye colour:

Doesn't affect eye colour.

Skin colour:

Can optionally affect skin where it touches. Dark patterns should darken skin while light patterns should lighten skin.

Horn/hoof colour:

Can optionally affect horns/hooves where it touches. Dark patterns should darken them while light patterns should lighten them.
