It is hard to tell while they are so young. They grow into their adult colour by the age of 1 year, then it gets more possible. The first one is cream-pearl something, the other appears to be double cream something.

Your ping is not coded correctly.

You'll get it. :D

Tjigra is correct, especially when working with horses whose colors are already light because of dilutions, it gets even harder.

This first one, Magica, I'm not sure about at all. Tjigra says cream-pearl, and I am inclined to agree... maybe. Silver dapple double cream on champagne or maybe cream and pearl instead. But I'm fairly positive it's on black and has silver.

Brooks Button... I'm thinking silver double cream on bay, with those tobiano stockings. He'll look a lot like his dam.

So I agree with Tjigra.

Her sire has dark eyes while being almost white, that's why I think he is double pearl and Magica is cream-pearl, not double cream.

Yes, Willy Wonka has dark eyes. He's a silver dapple with champagne and cream... I think... and not a triple dilute, I think... which is why I question whether it's two creams that were passed on or a cream and a pearl. I'm not always right with my dilutes, that's why I said I was agreeing with you. I didn't miss her sire, but it is also that sire that I'm unsure what was passed on, at least it makes me unsure of what was passed on.

That's all. :mrgreen:

Oh, ok, I've missed the fact that there can be a horse this light without being either double cream, cream-pearl or double pearl :) I also didn't look at him past the fact that he is almost white and has dark eyes. I am hopeless with these many-dilutes :)

You're in good company, I get mixed up myself often enough. In fact, you and I both could be missing something. We may both be corrected by another that is more familiar with these dilutes.

I am both looking forward to, and also kind of dreading when the next color release comes through. :| That'll be yet another set of genes on top of the ones we already have. :lol:
