That’s lovely! Thank you. I’ll have to look for some S+ dapples to see the differences!

I love the effect S+ gives on horses, I think it looks so stunning, I really enjoy the dramatic shading and dapples. Im a huge fan of it on buckskin but it also looks lovely on quite a few other shades. I grabbed a few quick examples of S+ shading for you so you could see it on a few different coloured horses. Other factors like DP effect how dark some of these horses are but S+ always brings out those lovely dapples. It also gives a 'lightening' sort of effect on the underside/belly/neck of the horse that contrasts with the darker dapples.

@SilverAleki thank you for those fantastic examples! Infrared is especially spectacular!

@ObsidianKitsune I agree! I don’t breed for chestnut, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how lovely she turned out!
