And given that these horses are appys, they could be any combination of breeds, including some that have the rare e.
According to what was said UC Davis changed the test back in '04. The smoky black was tested in 08. The EeAa was tested in 03 or 04 however I do believe she is black based on foal photos and breeding, and the fact that it hasnt been found in Appys.

Not black, but my favorite dark liver chestnut.
