Plume or not?
The horse above seems to have a lighter shade of hair on his tail as well as slightly behind his ears.
The plume gene is most commonly visible on bays and my horse is black based.
I do not think the fact that he carries one copy of the cream gene does produces the lightened hairs but maybe I am wrong, does anyone know wether this horse carries the olume gene or not?

From what I last remember, Gaagii hasn't yet found it on black.

Re: Plume or not?
I don't think this is plume, but is rather a remnant of shading on smoky blacks. I've noticed them on my smoky blacks as well, from lines that have no evidence of plume in any of the bay-based members.BlackOak2 wrote:This would be something Gaagii would probably like to see...Veterinarian wrote:
