What breeds have the silver dapple gene?

[Paint Me Proud]

Trying to work out what breeds Kasper may have in him.

He looks like an Irish Draught

Has spots and characteristics of an appaloosa

Is silver dapple buckskin in colour

His colour is so unusual I wondered if silver dapple is more common in certain breeds?

Any ideas?

It's quite common in Shetlands

My friend is verging on obsessed with it and has spotted it in highland and icelandics. Also seem to be a lot of cobs that colour.

How has he been doing?

On a serious note, other that american breeds I've heard tell of it popping up in welshies and in Belgian and Breton Draughts. Never heard of and ID that has tested positive for it.

really well thanks, have been on several outings, including taking him to visit Chico in his new home to go on a nice hack together. Going to local show tomorrow to have a go at the clear round jumping

I can't see silver in him - cream + dun or LP possibly.

Breeds wise... He has a hint of connie and tb...

the silver is expressed by the dilution of his black buckskin points down to a silvery brown. Bay + cream + silver + LP. No dun at all

Doesn't look like the silver I have seen in Rocky Mountain horses. Have you had DNA tests?

You have to see the colour of his points to be able to see the potential silver aspect

My OHs wee Rocky Mountain is Silver Dapple apparently

Definitely looks to be.

Now imagine this beautiful buckskin silver dapple rocky mountain horse with a liberal sprinkling of appaloosa snowflaking and a blanket.

He has only been DNA tested an negative for grey so far but hoping to have other tests done as an when i can afford to.

However having researched I can find no other explanation for the chocolately brown and silver points he has. Would welcome any suggestions though.

I think the colour dilution in his points and mane/tail is coming from the appaloosa in him.

He's an interesting colour and I'm so looking forward to seeing his test results when you have some spare cash to solve the mystery.

Don't forget that SD is found in Gypsy cobs, so if he does have SD, this is a possibility of where he got it.
