I think she has DP and may even be homozygous for it.

This appears to be a pretty typical sooty silver buckskin

As you can see, your foal is way darker than this.

This girl is het DP through her Freaky Friday dam. Much darker. But your girl may be even darker.

This is another het DP, this time from a Kings Ransom sire.

I'm not quickly finding anyone that I'm confident is homozygous for DP to compare her to, but your filly has DP on both sides of her pedigree at the foundation level, and her sire is definitely het DP. I will be interested to see how dark she is as an adult.

Thank you everyone, I'll add her to my DP line :)

@deardiamond and @SandycreekFarm the dam's sire is a Kings Ransom, which are always at least het DP. The dam is darker than a regular sooty silver buckskin, so I think both gen 2s are het DP. I'm just not sure Smoked Jewel got both copies!

I think she's significantly darker than both of my het examples. Her legs are a darker shade of brown and she's not as golden through the barrel. But I often find it difficult to pick the nuances of color in a foal coat and wouldn't be willing to say she's Hom DP until I can compare her adult color to horses I'm confident are het DP.
