I do for the grins, but this month's got me excited because on of the main topics was equine coat color genetics.
It was... rather outdated and not entirely accurate. Such a bummer! Let's just say they only mention that pearl on a chestnut-based horse, they don't mention seal brown (At), they have "overo" as a pattern, and their sabino looks awfully dominant white. Actually, they don't mention dominant white either. Ugh.
