some form of light champagne?

Post by Chelle »

Ghost FMS

^Need some help with this boy's color. I was thinking Amber cream at first but he appears to be too light to be that-correct me if i'm wrong!

This is his dam- His dam's color throws me a little off too since she appears to be champagne but also has dapples.

Image
This is his sire-his sire also is varnishing-not sure if Ghost will pick up that trait as well or not yet.

I think amber cream is correct.

Daisy is probably black + 2 Cream + Champagne + Silver. Smoky Cream + Silver makes for this light dappled colour and she definitely has Champagne (freckles).

Yes, he will start to varnish, he probably already did. All horses with Leopard Complex do. :)

Edit: Sorry, I vote classic cream! The tan spots you can see on him could be due to appaloosa bronzing. At about 1 year old he looked very classic cream-y.

Sire is bay with a blanket.

Dam is silver classic cream champagne. Daisy definitely does not have two cream genes, double dilutes always have light eyes and she has produced non-dilute offspring.

Their colt classic cream champagne with a blanket.
