Dark Shades Contest [CLOSED]

Here is my entry

his coat reminds me of metal after a fire - like soot spread over a once gleaming surface ^^ and the first occurence of this particular kind of sooty in this contest

Sooty Horse Contest

I have been waiting for one of these!!! I love this contest idea so much.

Here is my heavily Sooty Bay coated mare.
NBK's Dark Crimson

I'm glad that there are people interested in contests like these, as I like the seemingly 'unnoticed' kinds of colors (or coat variations in this case) ^-^

She is a beautiful one I like dark bays with this kind of heavy sooty quite a lot - they look so velvety her coat is also interesting as she gets progressively darker in front and her brighter backside seems like a spotlight was held in her direction - and it's such a subtle change ^^

He does have leopard pattern but he’s my man

Now that's an interesting combination, he looks like a nighttime desert with freshly falling snow ^^

He does look like a nightime desert with some snow, didn't notice it that way before

Maybe you'll like his Hot evening desert grand-son too? ( ofc not entering this once since only 1 is allowed )

He is interesting too (that particular sooty seems to be strong indeed if even the grand-son still carries it xD) i'd recommened keeping the sire in, his shade is more interesting (I think) ^^

She is very lovely, one of her fillies turned out to be just gorgeous too. I linked her below so you can see (I am not entering her though)

He does have dapples...bot sure if this is accepted. Otherwise I do have another horse without dapples.

The dapples are a form of sooty so all is well Also a nice variation of sooty (and I like buckskins <3 )- he looks a bit like a catfish

Yeah, he is really cute. I entered him because he was my most unique one out of his sire. He turned out to have feathers unlike any of his siblings which came from his Great Granddam which was a huge surprise.

I'm breeding for duns for a Spanish-type breeding project, but this guy is amazing...Actually wish he wasn't tobiano to show off that dark coat more (I know, two dilutions...dun and silver...I'll have to try and bred a nonTobi foal from him and replace this entry...):

He is a good looking fella too silver and dun are ok as they don't cover sooty, so don't fret
are you sure he has sooty though? his dun just seems to come in a darker shade...or make a picture from his current coat, maybe by comparing the younger pictures vs the new one I can tell :/ you have time till the end of this month, so if a nice foal comes out you can still switch them ^^

I love feathers ^^ they seem to be a recessive cumulative gene as far as I know, so the results can go:
no feathers + feathered= small feathers or no feathers; small feathers + feathers= small feathers or medium feathers; medium feathers + med/full feathers= medium feathers or full feathers.
So because both parents had small feathers he had a small chance to get the medium fluffs

Oooh, sooty dapples ^o^ she is indeed a nice one - wouldn't have thought these could go so well with a shiny coat ^^'
But yes, her dam is more interesting regarding this contest
