A(t) "brown buckskins" tend to be darker than AA or Aa Buckskin.. so I'm going to venture to say no but don't quote me on that given that half of his bloodlines are black and not proven DP carriers

I find this a tricky case. She could be DP, as her mom is a Rhythm Of Four and that herd helper is always hetero DP, so her mom is 100% a DP carrier. So if she is, she most likely got it from mom (looking at her sire's and grandsire/granddam offspring I do not see any clear evidence of DP).


This horse I have is guaranteed het DP, as his sire is homo DP.

MS2 Mocho

Your foal looks a lot like him.


This is a horse that is from old lines, from the time there was no DP:

MS4 Panty Pony hGP

You can see this shade is much more greyish, less vibrant. Especially if you compare their necks, your filly is much blacker, this guy is a bit more pale/greylike.

However, this is a horse from the same old lines, that is a bit more blackish:

MS4 PantyPsycho hGP
But still, she is more pale and more greyish.

So therefore I find it hard to make a conclusion based on the eye alone. I *think* she is a DP carrier, but the only way to know for sure is to breed her! I'd try to breed her to a homo (or het is okay too, but homo makes it easier) DP chestnut liver or chocolate horse, that way you can see if they produce a black chestnut or super dark chocolate (a homo DP horse).

Thanks for helping me out!
