that is frigen amazing how thay changed coulor

@susapot- I must ask. Was he tested as a Silver Smokey Black? To me, because of the prior color of palomino I would have assumed that he had actually turned into a dark smutty palomino. Some palominos can be so dark that they're black; even when tested as palomino.

I'll have to post pictures of my little guy in a little bit. He changed as well, but doesn't bear any resemblance to these handsome men above except for Destiny's mane and tail color as a yearling. That's where it stops. lol.

My guy, of course would look difference since he's varnishing out. (Appaloosa)


I have ALWAYS loved the above stallions above by the way. They're so handsome!

EDIT: I have pictures of my boy as a foal, as a clipped foal, and as a winter yearling, and clipped as a yearling. PM me in a couple years and I'll have more.

he was tested before I bought him by james williams as Ee aa nCr black with a red gene , no agouti (bay) and one copy of cream , he wasnt tested for silver but I have an idea he is homozygous for silver as I cannot find a black foal among them , even the chestnuts appear to be silver carriers too - and I have a copy of the results

edited to add Ive since had him tested and he carries two copies of silver

How interesting. The color of his mane (comparing to other horses of the same color) and his previous color would have made me think palomino. (That's what made me wonder, lol) But yeah, those results are definitely of a smokey black. (and a silver as you say)

How interesting, lol. He definitely shows just how different the horses can look phenotypically. I think he's a good example along with Destiny as a comparison in color and maturation.
