I'm gunna assume your serious... for now. :?
But to be honest, I have no idea what you are asking, and am not so sure you do either. I don't know of any established mutations in this species, but perhaps some exist in the US/UK...
Before someone spends an hour putting together an essay on the genetic relationships of all the mutations that exist in this species in answer to the question they -think- you asked, maybe you'd like to explain yourself a bit better...

I know of a few mutations in this species (fawn, cream, white). I am pretty sure fawn is inherited the same way it is in zebras, but I'll have to double check.
