So confused

Post by SilverFilly »

I breed colourful horses and many of them have crazy coat colours. It would be great it I could get some help in properly identifying them:)

With these horses they start off as a light brown appaloosa, then go golden, and once they reach around 6 half of their coat starts to turn black.

This stallions coat is like the gold ones, except is brown instead of gold

This stallions coat is starting to go half black as well

Just a note - the Lp pattern tends make red-based (chestnut, palomino, cremello) horses darken with age. A lot of your horses are displaying this tendency of the Lp gene which is why they start to turn black.

1. Cremello Snowcap
2. This horse is grey, which is why she looks fleabitten all over. Underneath that she is red dun with appaloosa spotting and varnish.
3. Silver Zebra Dun (aka bay dun) with hip blanket and varnish.
4. Chestnut with appaloosa spotting and varnish.

5+6. Palomino with appaloosa spotting and varnish.
7. Chestnut with appaloosa spotting and varnish.
8. Chestnut with snowcap appaloosa pattern and varnish.
