Original Trait Idea of =Jian89


Parisian Cabaret mares with even one partial lead glass are jealously kept by their owner. They are shown on the greatest occasion, for performance with special guest. However none in the assistance ever know the sparkling hooves doesn't come from polish and special varnish, that the light effect on the floor is not the spots reflecting on the polish but going through the lead glass. 
This trait was a blessing for stallions who bore it, the owner took good care of them to keep them fit for breeding, and mares wanting fillies with such hooves acted nice and caring. Even for the ladies it was little effort compared to the pride and joy of having a child with such lovely legs. 
Even if the public had no idea, in the backstage every artist knew the value of such a horse, and horse robbery in this kind of situation happened often. Foals were and still are the first victims of thieves.

Hooves are tough, full leadglass without default, but they can be scrapped and crack at each uncareful step. That's why as young as newborn, foals with even partial lead glass hooves have "slippers" to protect their hooves and they wear them most of the time as they stay indoor in their cabaret. Later on they will have plastic horse shoe (customizable on the side ) to avoid the shok against hard ground, protect their legs and avoid the noise that goes with each step and can easily make them noticeable. This kind of horse shoe also work for pasture, they are glued to the hooves not nailed. 
(Note in the backstage to avoid disturbing the performance, the place where PCH are kept have cork alley.)



Lead Glass Hooves

Full - the whole hoof is composed of lead glass, gives effect when light go through 
Partial - part of the hoof is composed of lead glass, it can be just a strike of one colour, or a strike going over two colours, doesn't give effect in light. 

Four full is a super rare traits, it pass on 5% breeding, it will pass one full hoof with 10% chance but it will pass on partial lead glass with 50% chance. 
One full is a rare traits, it will pass on partial lead glass on one to four hooves.
Partial on one or two hooves is a rare trait,it is passable. (but the glass part grow smaller with dilution)
