[edit]English: Chestnut horses with lighter colored manes and tails are thought to be affected by one or more flaxen genes. However, the action of this gene or genes has not yet been determined. When the effect is lacking, a chestnut horse will have a mane and tail the same color as its body.
Deutsch: Ursprünglich wurden alle braunen Pferde mit hellerer Mähne und Schweif als Lichtfüchse bezeichnet. Es gibt jedoch zwei völlig verschiedene Gene, die dieses Aussehen hervorrufen.
Deutsch: Das Flaxengen hellt die braune Mähne von Füchsen zu weiß oder blond auf. Auf die schwarze Mähne von Braunen hat es keinen Einfluss. Das Gen wird rezessiv vererbt. Wenn man also einen Haflinger mit einem Fuchs ohne dieses Gen verpaart, bekommen die Nachkommen eine braune Mähne.
