I was reminded (thank you Daylene) that I needed to post updates for this filly as promised.
Her name is KitKat and we've been calling her Kitty. She is homozygous for black (both of her parents are) and her base color appears to be seal brown. Her sire's base color is seal brown and her dam is being tested for seal brown now too and if Sheena is seal brown, and she only has one agouti, then Kitty could be homozygous for the seal brown agouti.
Plus, Sheena tested heterozygous Silver! I thought she would but seeing it on test results makes me feel good that I could figure it out on my own and be correct.
So, Kitty is brown silver dapple (chey aut was correct!)/snowcap appaloosa............and it's not color related but she is also "Gaited". I snapped away last week, she had just turned a month old. I didn't think about it at the time I was taking the photo's but when I uploaded them, it struck me that all of her photo's in motion were showing gait. Of a total of 4 foals counting Kitty, she is the only one that is gaited. The others obviously non gaited.
One picture is Kitty with my reg MFT pony, Sis, who is Kitty's half sister.

Thanks, I'll take some pics later this week. We're bringing them home from our rented place so I'll take some then. Somehow, I've ended up with an Arabian mare that is bay that has 2 agouti's (one bay and one brown), my pony stallion (EE, Ata) is brown based and I'm pretty sure my appaloosa pony mare is brown as well and I'm having her tested for it, she's the dam of KitKat. Her tests so far are EE Aa Zn and I'm betting her "A" is brown. Of 4 foals, she's not produced a single bay foal so somehow it seems unlikely she would be bay.
