Perlino Dun Pangare?

Post by Caramelapple3 »

The horse in question

I snagged this stally from the market because of his coat. He seems a perlino dun, but I'm also thinking he might have pangare because of his usually light muzzle and belly. There is this horse in his pedigree on his sire's side that seems to have pangare, but I'm not so sure: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2442131
His sire is perlino and his dam is red dun.

This horse appears to be a silver smoky brown pearl. One cream gene paired with one pearl gene, and silver on a brown base (that's the discoloration you see on his stomach and nose). The chestnut dame can't be a cream color, otherwise she'd be palomino, but since this horse is Most Definitely a double dilute and that he looks like a double cream, that only leaves a hidden pearl option. Plus... the silver has hid on the dames side, down (most likely) from this ancestor:



There still could be a gentle expression of pangare on him, but paired with the dilutes already apparent, you might only be able to confirm it through a foal. I don't see any real indication of it, but pangare, like some other genes, can be quite cryptic. I don't see any pangare on the dame, and the sire it could be a cryptic, already with the double dilute, but I don't see any real signs there either.
