With the new chocolate gene, you need two bs for it to express, and it modifies black pigment - so, anything black-based should do it! Bays of various types will only show the chocolate on their points, since that's where the black lives.

@Dreamingofhorses Unless you're talking about a chocolate palomino, in which case your best bet is a liver chestnut or another chocolate palomino.

@WinterBreeze, I just did a little snooping and you don't have any horses with the chocolate gene that you could breed from. To get a chocolate horse they need to have two copies of the chocolate gene, one from each parent. So you'll need to either buy chocolates from someone or buy straws from chocolate stallions (homozygous for the chocolate gene). If you do the latter it will probably take a few generations before you get homozygous horses that actually show the chocolate, because your first foal crop will be all heterozygous, since none of your mares have it. Regardless, that project will almost certainly get more affordable if you give it a bit for the 'newness' to wear off and for chocolates to become more common

I still have my Khansuudyn Suns straw that I won't use. You can have it if you want it. Let me know
