Oh, right. That's what I thought. However I like her colors.
Thanks for help!

There's a shade similar to this that is DP, but the way you can tell is because if you color test they don't have Sooty. If they are homoz sooty and not way dark, not DP.

Hey Pine! Here is a quick look at DP and sooty from my homozygous DP homozygous sooty stallion.

Red King is DP DP Ssty Ssty


This is one of his daughters. She is DP dp Ssty Ssty


This is another daughter with DP dp Ssty S



It is also possible to get a horse that will look similar to the middle horse but tests Ssty S and they are called liver chestnuts. Those horses are DP DP. Hope that all helps a little!

Well...this is how does my mare from the first server look:

She's a foundation horse, so I can't say that she got genes from parents, but doesn't she have DP even if the color test said that she's heterozygous sooty?

And I love her appy spotting! Has she got some thing else going with the appy to give her those subtle spots on her shoulders or is that just her varnish?

Very cool! And yes, I agree that boy doesn't have DP, but that's a great example of how DP horses slip through and surprise us if we don't color test--he's not much lighter than your mare.
