Hi everyone, this filly is born this week, and I suspect her to be a silverbay, but she looks much darker then a normal silverbay, could she have another colorgen on her, like cream, so then she could be a smokey silver? Her sire is a black tobiano, and her dam a buckskin tobiano, that is now a silverbuckskin because otherwise her filly can't be a silver, and she sure looks like a silver. :grin: [img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/582031_3984871024889_137…] [img]http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/485862_3984869384848_137…]

She could very well be smokey black with silver. Brown is similar to bay, but a different allele - that's how you get the seal brown horses.

This is a tested silver foal, so it is definitely possible the foal is silver. Certainly looks to have that silver shade of mane.
