Neon Unicorn Ref Sheet

Introducing SunRae Stables new Unicorn Breed. We will be using this bred to make Neon Warmbloods and Neon Sporthorses.


BREED: Neon Unicorn

COLOURS:
PUREBRED COLOURS: All colours have a glow to the coat (even in the dark). Colours are similar to natural horse colour patterns but in jewel colours eg: White Rainbow is similar to creamelo as it will dilute the other colours. Magenta Bay is similar to a normal bay horse but in magenta tones. Golden Chestnut is similar to normal chestnut but more golden in tone, Neon Black is jet black with a coloured glow etc. All colours vary in depth just like natural colours.
PARTBRED COLOURS: Can have a glow to the coat but maximum brightness is half that of the purebreds. Neon colours are inherited but dulled in tone (and is influenced by natural parent).

MARKINGS: None unless crossed with a natural horse then they get their markings from the normal parent (including paint and appy patterns). Brands and Scars can take on the neon tones.

EYES / HOOVES / HORN: Eyes are always Jewel coloured even in partbreds. Eyes tend to take on a similar tone to the base colour or glow. (eg: blue glow, Sapphire eyes). Horns and Hooves are also jewel coloured and take on the base colour (in Partbreds they are more a natural horse hoof colour but slightly more golden or silver toned depending on bass colour).

BUILD: Solid Warmblood type build only in purebreds, Partbreds can be influenced by the breed they are crossed with.

HEIGHT: Purebreds range between 17 to 24 hands (can be smaller but larger is very rare). Partbreds never exceed 19 hands and tend to favour the height of the natural parent.

DISCIPLINES: Purebreds can handle anything! A truly versatile breed. Partbreds (no matter what the other parent is) excel at anything a natural Warmblood excels at. All Purebreds & Partbreds have great speed and endurance as well as being exceptional jumpers so they do especially well at Endurance, Eventing and Racing in particular.

NEON WARMBLOOD: To qualify as a Neon Warmblood, the partbred must be a cross between a Neon Unicorn and either a Thoroughbred, a known registered Warmblood breed (eg: Hanoverian ) (both will produce a lighter Warmblood) or a Percheron (which will produce a heavier Warmblood).
Other crosses (depending on the breed) would be classified as a Neon Sporthorse NOT a Neon Warmblood (see below).
NEON SPORTHORSE: To qualify as a Neon Sporthorse, the horse needs to be at least 1/4 Neon Unicorn or Neon Warmblood.
Acceptable breeds for Neon Sporthorses are: Light horses such as: Anglo Arab, Arabian, Akhal Teke, Australian Stock Horse, Irish Sport Horse, Quarter Horse, Morgan, American Saddlebred; Baroque horses such as: Iberian, PRE, Andalusian, Lusitano, Lipizzan, Frederiksborger, Friesian, Ginetta, Kladruber, Knabstrup, Manorquin, Murgese, Spanish Jennet, Barb: Heavy horses such as: Irish Draught, Clydesdale and Shire. Sportsponies: Connemara, Australian Pony, and Welsh Ponies (of all sections).
Any horse/pony not on this list crossed with a Neon is classified as a Neon Partbred.

EXTRA PARTBRED INFORMATION: While the Neon colours are inherited they are never as bright as a purebred. They may or may not inherit feathers on the legs but never the rear upper leg or chest feathers. They may also inherit a horse type tale 25% of the time. A Partbred will product offspring with similar colours to the partbred but will dilute more and more in each generation when crossed back to natural horses (and may lose the horn altogether unless crossed back to another pure or partbred Neon) but will never lose the Neon Unicorns natural athletic ability.

OTHER INFO: All purebreds will be registered as Neon Unicorns.
Neon Warmbloods will be registered as such if they are at least 1/4 Neon Unicorn and any of the breeds mentioned under Neon Warmblood, no other breeds allowed (see Neon Sporthorse).
Neon Sporthorses will be registered as such if they are at least 1/4 Neon Warmblood or Neon Unicorn and the acceptable breeds (see above)
All other animals will be registered as Neon Partbred (no matter what percentage of NU they contain, similar to Partbred Arabs). Which means that Neon Warmbloods and Neon Sporthorses can be dual registered as Neon Partbreds as well.
