Sorry got a little confused there. And how do you tell if a stallion/horse in general is going to varnish?
If you want, I could do some selective breeding with my mares. Right now I'm not exactly sure which stallion would be right.

Don't forget, all Lp horses will varnish. The varnish genes that control how the horse will varnish can express in many different ways. The best you will find is a very slow, gentle expression of varnish.

Good Luck!

Thanks! How do you tell if it's going to be a slow varnish when the horse is still young? Can you even do that?

Heavy varnish will show as early as a year and 2 weeks (the coat will look lighter from the 1 year foal coat blowout). If during their 1 to 2 year time period, the coat looks unchanged, or relatively unchanged, you may have a slower varnish.

An example of what you'll want to look for to avoid heavy varnish (or quick varnish):
Take a look at these versus pics, look at how the hidden spots start to appear. Generally, the quicker the spots begin to appear, the heavier the varnish will be.

At 1 year & 1 month, you can already see a couple spots starting to shine through.

Now at 3 years, 7 months & 2 weeks, the varnishing is already quite visible.


At 1 year & 2 weeks, there is the barest hint of spots starting to show.

Now at 3 years & 3 months, visible spots reveal a heavy varnish appearing.


At 1 year (and a couple months), again, spots are already starting to appear.

Now at 4 years & 7 months, very visible, heavy varnish is more than apparent.


My horses are no longer really quick varnishing, but still on the medium-fast side (I'm working toward slower varnish in my program as well).
The hidden spots are really key to helping define how heavy or how quick a varnish will appear.

Alright, thank you so much!
