Help finding silver genes

Hello!

I am breeding Rocky Mountain Horses and I am trying to find the genes that turn off the dapples on silver horses.
The horses should look something like this:

As you can see the above horse is not bay or brown. It is black with a silver gene.

Currently my silver dapple horses look like this:
Color Test


So if anyone is interested or finds a horse with a small (or no) amount of dappling please post below :D

Take a look in my Mares and Stallions paddock, I have a really dark brown silver NAB stallion in there. If you like the look of him let me know :)

The closest you can come to the picture is to have a silver brown horse in the game. Silver black horses don't get much darker than the silvery coat without dapples you showed in one of your horses.

Also keep in mind that the horse you posted a photo of is young, and Silver changes with age. So you may find a young horse like that on HWO but his colour will not stay it will change over time to be closer to the second horse image you posted.

The Sooty gene darkens my horses coats a lot. I agree silver brown would be darker than silver on black. especially if you add a full body sooty gene with no mealy in it. I have some samples.
