You are welcome to download this and use this as a reference or inspiration, but if you copy from it directly (color picking) I just ask that you credit me in the art you post (a link back to this piece, or my DeviantArt). Please do not steal my artwork, don't post this elsewhere and claim its yours, don't remove my watermarks if you are posting this somewhere else, etc.

If you're interested in learning about the genetics of horse coats, and how all of these combinations are produced, I created a comprehensive guide for understanding genetics that goes along with this reference sheet specifically, you can find that here: Cow's Guide to Understanding Horse Coat Genetics
But I figured I would post this separately as well for those people that just want to see the colors and patterns all in one place and not have a whole science lesson lmao.

The guide goes into a little bit of everything, but it should still be basic enough that anyone can understand it. I also included some other references and things like coat generators at the bottom if people wanted more information. It took me years to understand genetics, and it never really clicked until I made this piece and my guide, so hopefully I structured my guide in a way that other people can learn from it.

I know I'm missing apricot and all of the larger mixes (like cream duns, silver champagne single creams, stuff like that), but I wanted this to be a little more basic so it was less confusing at first glance. I hope everyone likes this piece as much as I do
