Buckskin Pearl?

Post by Sypherthrax »

My best idea for this horse is Metallic Buckskin Pearl and I wanted another set of eyes to check him out.

Tulev


Things I know:
One copy of cream = dark skin/eyes
Two copies of cream = pink skin/blue eyes
Pearl is only visible with a cream gene or second pearl gene
One cream + one pearl = pink skin/blue eyes
Two copies of pearl = pink skin/dark eyes

He looks the most like the Buckskin Pearl on Totina's guide, except he has dark eyes instead of blue.

His pink skin/dark eyes should indicate a double pearl, but he doesn't look much like that horse to me.

You're correct, that's a buckskin pearl.
He actually has blue eyes, it's just that the metallic shading is a bit deceiving. It makes shadows darker and highlights lighter, so your horse's eyes look dark. If you zoom in, you can tell they're blue. :)

No, that's perlino. Turk do not carry pearl.

I thought about that, too, but I've never seen such a yellow perlino.

Thanks Argent for the Turk genetics observation! The yellow had been puzzling me too nyraeia.
