The Drabardi Donkey



Mantle


Range

Mantle is a blanketlike marking that extends all the way to the gaskin, forehead, and just above the knees, leaving the belly, throat, ears and muzzle unaffected. In its maximum form it can reach a little further (past the knees and hooks, but not reaching the fetlocks). Its also common when the marking have its maximum spread that it reach out onto the donkey's forehead, covering over half of the center of the head in a blaze-like shape, but never reaching all the way to the muzzle (nostrils).



What type of edges on this marking

The marking is a dark combination of the donkeys real basecolor (ie black, red or bay + any modifers) + the drabardi hue.



Do-Not's

  • - The marking can not be fully blurred and "melt" into the basecoat or other markings


The group is flexible when it comes to the looks of the markings (since nature doesn't always follow the rules and goes by *strict* lines), so as long as your markings are similar to the examples you shouldn't have any issues. As long as the marking is still visually identifiable everything is good in the hood.
NOTE - if too many people abuse this, rules will become stricter.
