Dark Shades Contest [CLOSED]

[AltNazarach]

Contest still running, if you are interested just enter ^^

Aah! I am going to enter but I first had to hop on and just say how much I love this contest! I get so happy when I see contests focusing on undersung genes. It's so interesting to see how differently a single gene can express! Y'all have such beautiful sooty horses. I'm really going to have to comb through my account and choose carefully for this one. I'll let my partner know about this contest too so hopefully they'll also come by to contribute.

Many thanks for your kind words ^^ yes, it's the quiet ones I want to give a bit of spotlight too (and many thanks for promoting)
I love to see even more shades of sooty admitted here, so take your time

I already knew the three expressions of sooty that I would be narrowing it down to, it was just a matter of trying to pick which one I was actually going to enter. And so I've finally chosen, but will show the other two just for fun as well.

My actual entry will definitely have to be one of my Forest Horses because they have the craziest dark sooty of all. I have a few other chestnuts that are pretty wild, but Redhorn's is the darkest and most velvety:

The ones I'm not actually going to enter are:
My old buckskin who looks like shiny, tarnishing brass: http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1693069
As well as my Caspian boy who I immediately snatched out of the AC because of his fabulous dark sooty mantle that I'm now trying to breed out into the rest of my herd: http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1915397

Thanks again for the contest!

while I don't like chestnuts that much, I love the sooty ones - and the pangare from below gives him an incredible range - quite a nice one

the buckskin is gorgeous - I do own a few like him and I always think the sooty shiny ones look somehow egyptian <3 His mantle is cute, the pony-types seem to carry many interesting kinds of sooty as well ^^

I hear there is a sooty contest going on! 8D

Unfortunately, most of my best expressions of sooty have aged out or were from breeds that I moved away from, so I only have a few left. My favorite among them is this guy.

I know he has dun, but I actually really like how the sooty and mostly-stripeless dun play together on him. He has a really smooth look, going from warm to cool tones across his body.

welcome to the show then if there are good pictures of the passed ones you can also enter one of them
yeah, I see want you mean by that - he is a nice one, such a smooth color ^o^
also, regarding dillutions, it's only the white/varnishing ones I'd like the contestants to avoid, so dun is really ok (and as I like dun, it's even less of a problem x) )

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

Thank you. Yes, he is pretty.
