What color are my horses?

[sarachancelucky]

I was wondering what color she'd be?

Driftwood Heart


Here's her half brother. I believe he's a Silver Bay Dun?:

And here is their mother. Palomino correct?:

The links you posted are incorrect, but I checked out the horses in your fields.

Summer Never Came


This mare is listed as Palomino but she is actually Silver Buckskin Dun. That means she has a bay base diluted by a single cream, the dun gene, and the silver gene (A? E? chch Crcr D? Z?) We know she is bay-based because of her dark legs in her 1-year-old picture. A chestnut-based horse would have been the yellowish color all over or possibly with lighter colored lower legs. Her mane is also too dark for her to be palomino. A true palomino will have a bright white or just very slightly grey-ish mane. We know she has the single cream because of the yellowish color of her body. A bay without cream would be more red. A bay with two creams would be more of a creamy off-white color. Then we know she has silver because of her mane, tail, feathers, and lower legs. The silver causes her lower legs to be more brown than black and the mane, tail, and feathers to be silver in color. We know she is dun because of her dark dorsal stripe and how the color of her body is slightly faded-looking when compared to the color on her face, knees, and hocks.

This mare is a very sooty Buckskin with Tiger Eye. That means she has a bay base diluted by a single cream gene. She also carries sooty and two copies of the tiger eye gene. Again we know that she is bay-based because of her dark legs. In her case the sooty can make it a little difficult to determine her dilutions, but her tiger eye is a dead giveaway that she is a single cream dilute. Tiger eye on a non-champagne, undiluted horse will turn the eyes green, but tiger eye on a non-champagne, single cream dilute will turn the eyes bright blue. She her blue eyes tell us she has a single cream. We know she is sooty because of how she has darkened with age, making her look gold-ish brown rather than just gold.

This stallion is bay with no visible dilutions.

This horse is labelled correctly as a Silver Bay Dun.

Thank you! I'm so new to this whole horse color identification. I didn't know how the link thing worked, but I do now!

No problem. I'm always happy to help.
