I think the second one is normal, just has enough white that the lighter parts of him are completely hidden. Did a search and found a few - does't look like DP, which makes sense considering none of that colt's ancestors seem to carry it.





Dark buckskins are a thing in real life, and one of my favorite colors. They pop up occasionally in reining lines, in fact I saw a couple show this past November that were so dark they could pass for brown. Looked up their parents to make sure they carried cream! I'll see if I can find where I wrote down their names, or figure out what bloodline that was. If you've seen Big Chex To Cash, he's an example of an extremely dark palomino. Did some searching, and there's a stallion named Big Bucks To Cash (same sire) that is a textbook sooty buckskin.

yea me too, she's definitely a cutie, thanks :-)

Thank you for all of that Denali! And that filly is gorgeous! Gotta love surprises like that lol

I'm not seeing any obvious DP in her dam's line. However, she is brown, so that could be making her extra dark.

Hmm. If I had to guess, I'd say that both horses posted are het DP. That filly looks a lot like the first brown buckskin I posted and the stallion is just a touch lighter than the one I think is maybe possibly hopefully hom DP. To be honest it's been really hard figuring out these buckskins! You'd think there's be a decent number of them in game, but the differences are so subtle it's frustrating.
