Looks like flaxen gold champagne. That's champagne on a chestnut base.

Re: What Color?
Does not appear to have any sooty. He looks a little dark from the underside, but not enough for me to say that it's sooty. It appears it's just shadow. Are you questioning a specific area for sooty?

The shadowing you refer to had me thinking it was sooty. Thanks for the clarification!

Re: What Color?
I have another that I'm having a hard time determining. I think there's at least Dun?

Smoky silver black... I think. I don't think there's dun. I don't see any dun to be passed onward from the parents. It is the silver that's making the black coat look so light.t0xickitten wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 1:56 pm I have another that I'm having a hard time determining. I think there's at least Dun?

I'm unsure about the cream gene. That would be the smoky. So this horse (and the sire) may just pop a palomino or buckskin at some point.

Yes, with tiger eye. Neither horse has cream.t0xickitten wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 1:21 pm Silver Dapple Tobiano Leopard Snowflake?

Going back through, none of the horses in question have cream. They are all just Silver Dapple.
