Uniquely Destined pattern

I am wondering if the lovely filly Uniquely Destined has had tests results back? What a striking pattern she has. Isn't it unusual to have spotting so noticeable on a leg?

She tested negative for tobiano and chimerism the last I heard. So she is just a bay based really mismarked leopard.

Excited to see if she varnishes out or not. If she doesn't it means her LP allele was the somatic mutation.

I'm guessing (hoping?!) she'll stay that color. If it's mismarks gone wild, then she shouldn't roan out. Mismarks are like spots, and aren't subject to LP roaning.

Take away the mismarks and she'd be a leopard, so the spotting on the legs is normal. It's those large solid patches that are unusual, not the spotting!
