This is a hom sooty mare that I have, and yours is darker so I would say that not only is she het sooty and het dp, but you've been very lucky to get black liver foals out of her! That's a 1/4 chance per foal! She's a lovely producer

Your mare is only het sooty. She definitely has a copy of DP, because both those foals are black liver. But only one copy, since she is still labeled a chestnut and not a liver chestnut.

To get a black liver, a foal MUST have 4 darkening genes. Hom dp and hom sooty. A "normal" liver just needs 3, two of one and one of the other. So very lucky that your mare passed both of her darkening genes along.

great, thanks so much!

If she was hom DP then she would be liver as well since then she would have 3 darkening factors - she only has one sty.

*Edit - everyone beat me to it so, what they said! lol
