Sootiness is believed to be an inherited trait involving multiple genes, however the details are not yet known. Horses without any visible sooty coloration are termed "clear-coated." On bay -based horses, the most common type of sooty is black countershading.

Sooty, also sometimes called smutty, causes a darkening of the coat colour on chestnut and bay-basedhorses. It can be expressed in many different ways and often looks different between chestnut and bay-based horses. On chestnut-based horses, especially on palominos, it often mostly darkens the legs or lower body, making the legs look like they are ...
The genetic cause of sooty has not yet been discovered in real life, it may even be polygenic (multiple genes). Therefore, it also remains untestableand hidden in the game. In Horse Reality, the sooty gene is responsible for causing the darkening of the coat. The dominance of the sooty-alleles (STY, sty), however, differs between breeds and sometim...

A horse coat color that has the sooty trait is characterized by black or darker hairs mixed into a horse's coat, typically concentrated along the topline of the horse and less prevalent on the underparts. Sootiness is presumed to be an inherited trait, though the precise genetic mechanism, or series
Buckskin occurs as a result of the cream dilution gene acting on a bay horse. Therefore, a buckskin has the Extension, or "black base coat" (E) gene, the agouti gene (A) gene (see bay for more on the agouti gene), which restricts the black base coat to the points, and one copy of the cream gene (CCr), which lightens the red/brown color of the ...
Home. Equine. Gallery. Modifiers. Sooty (sometimes called smutty) is a modifier that causes black hairs to be mixed into the coat. Generally, the effect is as if someone had dumped a bucket of soot over the horse's head and back. It seems to act as a form of countershading.
A horse coat color that has the sooty trait is characterized by black or darker hairs mixed into a horse's coat, typically concentrated along the topline of the horse and less prevalent on the underparts. Sootiness is presumed to be an inherited trait, though the precise genetic mechanism, or series of mechanisms, is not well understood.
