Okay this one has me stumped!

Post by deanimator »

⛎♑️ Heart's on Fire


I was first thinking a chestnut base but I have no idea what's causing the brighter fetlocks/man except maybe a really heavy sooty. But his face has me thinking he may actually be a bay base and...I don't have any ideas past that except I think it's lovely and I want to reproduce it infinitely.

I'm not very confident about this, but it looks like a flaxen liver chestnut with sooty?

I would agree with Flaxen Chestnut, lovely rendition of it too. I'm not seeing bay.

Was the mane/tail that color at 1 year of age or did it gradually take on the red color?

I saw the same horse, but a dun would have a lighter body and line back. I'm not seeing that with this horse

This is the horse your referring too

right, there it was ^^' ok, when comparing them it's kind of obvious... sorry :(
but disregarding dun, flaxen (light mane) with sooty (darker body than normal) would make sense though - I just thought dun would be probable because it could cause the lightened near the feathering by the feet as the normal chestnut color is spared by the dun or incorporated? (I can just find one of mine as a somewhat example
Image
near his feetlocks, where the feathers are in Hearts case, the dun seems to fade and the normal coat-color shines through ... or it could be solely caused by the feathers :? what do you think?

The lightened area by his feet is just the flaxen showing through, not the Zipper marks displayed by the Dun genes

Here it is on a couple of other horses

I honestly couldn't tell you I tend to not check my feathered Arabs till around 3 since otherwise I'll end up sitting there spending turns waiting for feather signs to show up. :D

Flaxen chestnut with some heavy sooty makes sense.

Funnily enough both parents are black, which would make them both E/e, one with LP and possibly getting the silver on that side too.

Both parents have chestnut in their history, and if you look at his sire...without a foal picture it is difficult to verify if he is just a bronzing black or if he was just a very dark chestnut
