It's random. If you reroll the picture you might see some dapples on the first horse. DP greatly increases the chance on champagne horses, and I've found you almost need it to see the dapples. Or sooty plus, but I'm still playing with it.

Yay!! I'm happy it worked!

Pearl doesn't really dapple out strongly unless you have both sooty and hom DP involved, then you get ones like this boy, who I haven't yet bred even though I love his looks and his lines because all my 2gs are papered higher. lol He's mostly a template for what I want to do with one of my DP foundies.

This girl is het DP and you can see how much less the dapples show.

Pearl with hom sooty and no DP at all. I had to hit the open search for this one, I couldn't find one in my herd with no roan or Lp to hide the base. :))

I'm not sure about champagne, I don't breed it much, but I know when you start adding in other dilutions you don't see strong dapples very often without DP, or at least I don't in my herd, and I have a metric ton of pearl dun and silver pearls. lol

@Ren how do dapples show on your herd?

Water color is gorgeous with sooty plus and DP. @Cheers has some amazing horses that show dapples in watercolor.

I love sooty plus buckskin and silver buckskin with DP. They show beautiful dapples.

Two examples.

Have you seen silver brown with DP and just sooty? That could be a possibility. Gorgeous dapples.

I know you don't wanna spend that many hbs on DP (or S+), but here's my foundation watercolor stallion that is bay, with hom DP and hom sooty plus. I have a mare that's also bay, hom DP, hom S+, and watercolor, but she also has plaid and lace and that hides her dappley goodness.

Lol, that’s why I ended up going straight for bootstraps after a couple months! I still have an even bred herd or two, but bootstraps are where I throw all my favorite shinies. If you ever want straws for cheap, let me know! I’ve tons of high papered stuff floating around with all sorts of shinies.

This fellow might help you.

I do find that my sables have a lot of dapples, like @Ren said. It's one of my favorite things about that line. :x
