How breeds work

Every horse in the world now carries a breed alongside its gender and coat. Breed determines two things: which coat colours and markings the horse can roll, and which biomes it appears in naturally.

Breed is visible on the Horse Info screen, and in the quick stats overlay when you hold an Upgraded Saddle and look at a horse.

Horses already in your world keep their look. The mod infers a breed from the coat a horse is already wearing, so an old palomino stays a palomino. Coats with no clean match are filed as Mustang.

Donkeys, mules, skeleton horses, and zombie horses don’t get a real breed. They show a species label instead.
