What color are these two horses?

Post by kollabee »

So Im trying to breed an Apaloosa, so I got a Tarpan and Przewalski, but what are their colors?

There both in that pasture

I would realy like some help

I think the stallion is a red-dun, but he seems a little palimino or creme? His redish markings seem a little pink....

The Tarpan is Bay Dun. Don't get confused by the red dorsal stripe; Once the mane, tail and legs are black, the horse is bay-based and not red-based.
The Przewalski is also Bay Dun. This is the magic of different shades, both horses are genetically the same, but look entirely different ;)

A "Palomino" would look more like this guy:

A "Cream" could be any horse with either one or two copies of cream (Palomino, Cremello, Buckskin, Perlino, Smoky Black or Smoky Cream)
Here are some examples of Cremello, Buckskin and Smoky Cream.
