Just in case everyone isnt bored to tears by this stuff I got more DNA results back on Hidden Meadows Charade my chocolate looking pinto mare. After I got the initial results last week it was suggested I should have tested Charade for the creme gene. Got results today and yep Charade has 1 copy of the creme gene as does her filly.

Hidden Meadows Charade Miniature Horse - Ee aa nCr

nCr Dilute. Horse tested Heterozygous for Cream Dilution (One copy of the Cream allele). Chestnut is diluted to palomino; bay is diluted to buckskin and black is diluted to smoky black. These colors can be further modified by the actions of other genes.

So I think now Charade is chocolate due to being a smokey blk and not due to silver gene.
 
Except that, of course, since there is no test for Silver, she could be that as well

Well that's some good news for you! Congrats! Those test results are always so fun to get back.
