I'm not really sure what happened here lol But I'm in love! I just started doing research on breeding for Liver/chocolate palomino so I'm still new to trying to figure out DP. Can someone help me figure out how I got a Liver Red Dun out of a Palomino Dun and a Silver Bay Dun? Is there DP hidden in one of the parents?

I suspect the DP came from the maternal side. She’s really cute!

For anyone curious about liver, here is the ninja liver chart, with some dun discussion beneath:

Thank you! So the DP could come from the bay? Am I correct to assume all horses can carry DP?

No, all horses do not carry DP. DP is an untestable gene, and can only be distinguished by the affect it has on the color of the horse. I can link a page that shows examples of most color possibilities in the game. It will show you the variations DP causes when present.

Dp Can easily be hidden on blacks, duns and Champagne.

DP can occur spontaneously in any created horse, usually heterozygous DP, I believe. Should you chance to be creating from a Dark Chestnut daily herd helper, for instance, you can occasionally get a Liver Chestnut, but it rarely happens.

As you play more and more, you will start to see the hidden signs of a horse carrying that hidden DP gene just from looking at it in some base colors. I am usually pretty solid at seeing it in bays for instance. However, I struggle when you start to pile more than one lightening gene on a horse (so Cream, pearl, dun, champagne, silver on black based horses) and have to compare them back to “normal” expressions of the color. Your baby is a wonderful surprise!

DP came from the mother, through her mother. The maternal granddam is a non-sooty DP bay.
