Gene test idea (not new gene!)

I kinda wanted to throw the idea out there of having variations listed under gene strings. I'm not talking our precious gremlin freak children (affectionate) , but the overo1, overo2, overo3 etc variations. It'd be nice if they could be listed somehow in the gene string. Perhaps like above, if it's the variation 2 it would be listed as overo2 or sabino2, etc. 

either that or my...-chuckles- variation to that would be to have some sort of in game complete guide on the variations and what they look like so people can actively learn them easier. Like maybe a wiki page with all the listed variants for example. I know there's guides out there but none of the horses I have match the one I've been using so it would be kinda nice to have some sort of official way of knowing if your horse is standard or a variation.

Agreed. Also because diff breeds have different default variations to others. Like shetland as an example has the spotty tobiano as it's default tobi.

Plus, when on mobile I hate not being about to see what variation a horse has. I have to wait till I'm on a computer.

Agree. I think a good place to put the variation number would be in that box on the genetics tab with all of the Check marks and X's, that way the gene string can stay tidy.

FYI a good work around is to use the horse search...type in your horse's name and filter the variation in the gene box. As foals you can use the "preview" feature and click the "Adult" button. I used this on my Variation 4 Leopard TWHs since there isn't a search Variation 4 (however it only worked if they also had PATN to make the spots visible).
