Horse Color Genetics Simulator

Anyone who knows me knows that as a kid, like so many other little girls out there, I had a horse phase. Less like so many other little girls, I was also a nerd. For a good 6-10 years of my childhood I was a veritable walking encyclopedia of horses. Any time you establish a knowledge base like that it's bound to resurface time and time again. So while I wouldn't really be considered a horse nut anymore, I do have periods of indulgence where I tap back into that childhood passion and make use of the sponge that was my grade-school brain.

One such indulgence was a horse genetics simulator I made in 2007. I made it, friends laughed about Jeno and her horses again, and it slid off the radar and into the archive of "things I did" floating around the internet.

Occasionally I would get emails from a college student in equine veterinary studies thanking me for helping them get a handle on the difficult subject of coat color genetics. Other than that I didn't think much about the little page I had created.
