What color are My babies? :)

Post by Creepin »

Hello Lovelies!
I usually lurk around on the chat room all day, and i've asked in there before. People have been able to tell me what the colors are 'made up of' in there but not 'what they are', or what they could be considered.

I don't Really Want to label them as "brown" because that just Doesnt seem to fit the color.

Their eyes are what I believe people call "tiger eye" They are bright green when zoomed in on at max, but appear Turquoise at normal distance.

Their parents are both Purebred Black; blue eyed Frisians.

They are both Smoky Cream - black horses with two cream genes. A single cream gene will be hidden, so both parents appeared black but are carrying the cream gene.

Hi Creepin!
sfts is right.
I just wanted to add that both also are homozygous for Tiger Eye, as you already mentioned. Without it, their eyes would be blue instead of green.
