Sooty, Dark Chestnut, or Caused By Shine?

Post by BananaDragonSide »

??


I have this new mare I picked up from the AC, and she looks a bit dark on the shoulder/front half of her body/whatever it is I'm tired

At first I thought it was Sooty, but after staring at her for a couple minutes I'm unsure if maybe she's just a really dark chestnut, or if it seems dark because the rest of her body is lighter from the Turkmene shine.

It definitely looks like some weird sooty.

She's just very sooty in the front! I've had a lot of my chestnuts develop sooty really dark and they end up becoming liver chestnut.
