He truly is a magnificent horse! I would like to know what his color is because honestly I'm still a newbie at telling what they are! :lol:

So he's got a lot of things going on, but most of them are caused by the Lp gene. Underneath the Lp he is a Flaxen Red Dun (with tiger eye). That means he's chestnut with at least one copy of dun and a double copy of flaxen and tiger eye. He also has two copies of Lp, which is what is causing his snowcap pattern (tiny spots with lacey outlines). As he ages he is varnishing which is what is causing his red areas to turn cloudy and white. Based on his parents he is likely to eventually display Lp sooty as well. The sooty will cause his red areas to turn dark brown or almost black under the varnish.
