This foal was sired by Delmaytion Top King,
a bay stallion, who is also pictured on the Look-A-Like page.
Counter shading markings can and are passed on frequently,
as it is an inherited trait just as any other color gene is.
Delmaytion Top King is known for passing on his counter shading
quite regularly to his foals.
This foal's coat color is not diluted, but rather
is a paler red, lightened somewhat in the soft areas by pangare.
She lacks the caramely-red tones of a bay dun foal. Note the
pale coloring on the muzzle, insides of the upper legs, and
on the upper hind leg/butt from her pangare.
Although the counter shading dorsal does appear
to be flanked by frosting in the tail, this frosting is almost
certainly caused by the effects of pangare. The frosting does
not closely match the body coloring as it would on a bay dun.
And not uncommon for the offspring of Delmaytion Top King, this
foal also has foal camouflage leg markings.
