Document Summary
2008 ahc american horse council - 9. 2 mil horses. 29 billion dollar in direct economic impacts. Once very practical that owned horses for transportation and work. 8% still work today ranching , border patrol, police, wilderness. Some horse owners rely on someone else to take care of their horse but thats bad for owner because they never learn horse knowledge. Can breed smart horses but can also breed really dumb horses - genetics. Marketing based on the potential that you would get the colors you want in the offspring. Modifier genes influence 3 main coat colors: Ex: bay horse has brown body with black points. Ex: chestnut horse has points that match body. Causes horses to be grey - not born grey. Grey that is really old can start to look white, so look at skin to tell -- grey maintains pigmentation. Controls presence or absence of black hair.
