Brindle
Brindle is a marking mutation that creates dark, thin and irregular stripes anywhere on the beasts’ body. Be careful to not mimic Stripes!
Additionaly, darker patches with the same color may be added and blended together the stripes.
The mutation may not cover the mane or tail of Equus!
Any additional markings that are present in the phenotype are optional and do not have to be added to the design.

Design Notes
Blending patches
Along with the stripes, patches with the same color may be added anywhere on the body of the beast. These patches have to be soft edged and blended together with the stripes.
While there is no range for those patches, be careful that it is still possible to find the base coat color somewhere!

However, be careful of old designs as they might be illegal by now due to previous rule changes!
Please do not just copy existing designs either, as those are the property of their designer!
