I have a question. How would someone know if a mare is a pumpkin? I have a red dun mare with one Sty that looks questionable.

There is no such thing as pumpkin. That isn't a horse color.

I thought pumpkin was the term that some players here used for mares that had DP but did not have Sty Sty.

It was, but that was when the colors were displaying incorrectly, some were far too orange-toned.

Ammit discouraged the use of the word just because it was going to cause confusion like this when the colors were corrected....which they have been. :)

I don't think anyone is using it now - that particular look is long gone.

As I understand it, the way to determine if a non-homozygous sooty horse has DP is to color test it to determine its sooty status, then compare its color to other horses with the same base color. A horse that is SS with DP will look the same as one that is SstyS without DP, and a SstyS with DP will look like a SstySsty.

Ahh okay. Thanks.
