Yes

Oh, I would definitely splurge! :))

Well. He didn’t change to a liver so I guess the answer was no. :(

He didn’t change when I added the second sooty.

That's odd! He was definitely too dark for a het sooty...

Maybe rerolling image? I've had that happen before where the image needed refreshing before it show...

How the heck?

If anything you can put him against liver mares.

I sent you something to help you recover, hope it helps!

Aww that sucks that he did not turn out to be a DP carrier!

The thing with DP is that it is very hard to spot, as there are also different shades of normal horses.

Take these 3 horses for example, all three are StySty bays:


zMS Greatshow9

zMS Greatshow17

zMS Greatshow16

But they do seem to have a different hue. So the second one (Show17) could be easily mistaken for a DP as she is a bit darker.

So for me to be absolutely sure if a horse has DP I always try to breed them with a non-DP carrier (especially stysty chestnuts are good for this) to see if they produce a liver foal or not. Breeding might take a bit longer but is always more cheap than GMTing. And if your horse turns out to be a DP carrier you can always yumm the foals and GMT him anyway.


For some more examples, take a look at these StySty chestnut flaxen foundations: there are many different hues among them! (there are some DPs in there too)
