Just wanted to jump in real quick. Varnishing and bronzing are two different processes, and this effect is a third. The effect seen on this palomino is (what those of us on the Leopard Pattern thread like to call) Lp Sooty. Bronzing affects any black coloration on a horse, turning it varying shades of red with the horse being it's most red at 4 years of age, then gradually return to black over the rest of the horse's lifetime. (Post on bronzing is here.) Varnish is the phenomenon where any part of a horse that is not covered in white or part of the spot pattern gradually greys out very much like a progressive roaning. Lp Sooty is the process during which non-black parts of a horse gradually darken to black. Lp Sooty can affect the entire body, or only portions of it, as seen on the palomino above.WILD FLICKA wrote:It is more of a different kind, varnish can affect a horse a little different, sooty darkens while varnish can "bronze" a horse or make it look more grey or sometimes greenish which is what yours did.Stormchase Stables wrote: Ahh thank you. It does resemble the darkening that happens with the sooties though, doesn't it?

A nicely sooty Palomino. He started out light, but took a turn for darkening around the age of three, and it is nicely seen in his mane turning from white to bluish-grey.
What's interesting though, from his 8 offspring, there is only one typical sooty (the rest are rather young though). However, he has a flaxen chestnut daughter, who is a very dark shade. I now wander if she's just dark, or is that sooty in action - however, if it's sooty, it's a very early case.
