So, what exactly is a null trait? What is it used to? I’ll try not to sound dull talking about a null, but I will need to explain some basics about a database. Any Amaretto horse is an individual set of data containing all the information that makes it unique. It has an identifier and fields to store its data, e.g.,

Coat: Lamplight Haven – Tranquility
Eye: Tranquility
Mane: Long
Tail: Long

Those are mandatory traits every horse needs. An additional characteristic will require a new field to store its information. But that information can also be empty or null. And that defines a null, a placeholder without any data.
This way, you can build a 25 traits horse that has only 4 of them showing. Or you can use a null trait to clean an existing horse trait you don’t want to pass to the offspring.

The list below shows all the Null traits available for the horse and what each Null replaces:
