Cream or no cream?

Post by Arctictea »




Father was Silver Champagne Bay
Mother is Sooty Palomino

She is champagne, probably silver bay(?), and the big quesion is:
Cream or no cream?

Ooops, I forgot her sire was dun too. :oops:

So you think she might have cream?
I find her mane/tail odd; if she's bay-based they should be black or silver; but they are white. On the other hand she has darker legs, so she's not chestnut.
Maybe it's simply silver/champagne that find additional strenght when together.

If you look at Totina's guide (which is great, by the way) and compare your horse to the lighter amber cream one, you'll see that they are very alike. With the difference that your horse is a bit more greyish (which is explained by dun) and has a lighter mane and tail.
As you said, silver lightens "black" manes and tails to a light grey.
ut if your horse was amber cream, its mane would already be a kind of brown colour. So it seems logical to me that silver could and would lighten that to the creamy white colour that your mare exhibits.
So yes, I'm sure that your horse has cream. :)
