She's superior to Dam and blue papered. How come she was snipped? Would it be worth it to purchase GMTs to unalter her? I really love her coat shade.

BA and SBA compare a horse to both of its parents. If a horse is worse than one parent, but better than the other, then it'll be altered because it's not about as good as, or even better than, both. This is why in bootstrapping we don't BA the girls, because they'd almost certainly get altered :)

Her mom is a hom DP "black liver" so she is het DP. If you like that shade, add some DP (dense pheomelanin) into your lines. Since it's not a testable gene, a hom DP foundation like a Cherry Drop or Freaky Friday (coming this Friday!), or a horse that has been GMT modified to have it, and cross-breed them.

I don't breed bays but here is an example of silver brown that is Hom DP with that gorgeous deep shade you are after:

Since you are bootstrapping (breeding uneven for PT) and may not be interested in starting a line from foundation, I have some nice hom DP studs (even a few even-bred, A-papered warmbloods) that are up for public brood currently. Let me know if you want me to link a list here.

I have this colt for sale. He's got the color, but slightly too short for my goals. He also papered up from his Sire. I'm sure I'll have some fillies later, as I go through the rest of my pasture.

Sooty plus with hom DP is a cool look too!

All these fillies carry DP, but again are too short for my needs.

If you would like, you’re welcome to this filly I produced. I can put her up in my chat for you for 1hb :) so you don’t have to buy GMTs to unspay your girl. FirstImpressions is a draft, not a warmblood, so I don’t know if she’ll be something you want anyway, but she’s blue papered and silver bay like your girl was :) just don’t BA or SBA her, since she’s a bootstrapped filly
