Chimera or foal shading?

Re: Chimera or foal shading?
ACC the foal you are thinking of most likely is Triple S Silver Smoke, a smoky black Morgan. His pictures are on the Dun Central Station site and they are also here:

Scroll down to find him!

Hi Lipigirl,
I posted a bit on the old forum :-) Nancy Castle of DCS steered me in this direction when the old site went down. You can see all my horses on my website. Lots and lots of pictures! I don't want to highjack this thread so here is just one. Positively Charmed, a smoky black silver 2 year old Morgan filly :-)

I can't believe that's a smokey black silver. Looks every bit chestnut. :laugh1
Re: Chimera or foal shading?
Hi everyone ,i am pablo ,i am new on here .I am the owner of the foal that my friend posted for me .The foals dam is black and has 2 black parents .Her sire is a black based appy who has 2 appy parents .I am delighted to be told she is a regular black filly . I was expecting to see spots but didnt expect stripes ,they are not good pictures as she has bars down her 4 legs ,definate vertical stripes down her hind quarters .She has a blue sheen to her coat but the stripes are black .Are these the primitive markings you talk about and why are they so prominent on a black horse ?Sorry to be a pest but i am only learning about colour !! :)
Re: Chimera or foal shading?
A friend of mine has a foal that shows a dorsal on her spots...two or three of them line up perfectly and you can see the line going through them...the base colour is Red so it shows quite well!!
When I asked where that had come form she looked at me blankly and said "What??"
I said "The foal is Dun, where did the Dun come from??"
She looked at the foal and then at me as if I had gone mad and said "The foal is Leopard" (well it's near Leopard)
:BH :BH :BH
Mind you when I asked what colour her Fewspot was she told me he was white...um...yes...I can see that, what is his base colour??
No idea.
ARGH.
Nice little stallion though, I have used him on two mares.
I'll get pictures next time I am over there.

Countershading. Not uncommon on foals... black foals especially IME.
